Absolutely stunning French-Portuense pads in Porto's Old Town. Based on 2 passengers for 4 nights in City View Suite @ £462pp or Duplex Garden Villa @ £644pp

The best boutique stays know it’s the little kindnesses guests will look back on fondly, perhaps even more so than the grand designs. But this inviting hideaway in Porto’s Old Town – offers both in memorable style. Enter a humble townhouse on a street of Azulejo-tiled beauties, and you’ll find yourself in a modern cathedral to design, with a vaulted glass roof to let the sunshine, and plants, objets d’art and vintage pieces in every nook. Suites – and a top-tier villa with a pool – follow stylish suit, and a hidden garden is a welcome city escape. And, to really nail that first (and last) impression, speciality coffees and pasteis de nata on arrival, a breakfast with clout, and fresh-cut flowers in your room are tokens to treasure.

At the hotel…
Lounge with a fireplace, communal kitchen, orangery, garden with a terrace, honesty bar, charged laundry and ironing service, free WiFi. In rooms: Samsung TV with streaming services (Netflix and Disney+), Amazon Echo with music streaming, Nespresso machine, kettle with teas, plugs for different regions, Rituals bath products. Some of the Suites and top-tier villa have an X-Box too, and the latter has a private pool.

Rooms…
Rooms have all been curated with care, whether it’s the art on the walls, the contemporary furnishings or the selection of makes-it-feel-like-home trinkets, plants and books. If you’re staying with a family or partying about Porto with a group – or you really want to feel like a local – the Urban Retreats have more knockabout room, plus a full kitchen and laundry facilities. And, with top-tier Villa you can have your own private townhouse, dressed to the nines and with a private pool to play in.

Spa…
There’s no spa onsite, but the hotel has partnered with talented, local pamperers, who have massages, facials, mani-pedis and some more decadent and weighty treatments: caviar facials, body sculpting… And for keep-fitters, the hotel has also partnered with a local gym.

Shortcuts

One Stop Travel Service

Whilst the internet is an indispensable tool when looking for a holiday, it also has its pitfalls. Booking online will not assist with your online check-in & seat allocation, research to find the perfect restaurant for that special occasion or assist in the event of a crisis.

I offer my clients a personal and professional service, at a time suited to them. I’m not constrained to normal office hours, so easily contactable in the evenings, weekends and during public holidays. No automated calls - just one point of contact guaranteed before, during and after your travels.

With access to thousands of offers from our destination specialists and worldwide suppliers, the latest in-house travel technology, combined with a passion for researching the perfect product, I can assist with all travel needs, tailor-made specifically in line with my client’s requirements.

From flight, train or accommodation only, bespoke itineraries, package deals, to those once-in-a-lifetime adventures, such as diving with the whale sharks in Cebu or retreating to a stylish tented lodge on the banks of Tatai River in Cambodia - I can help you achieve your wanderlust dreams, suited to all budget levels.
