Ein Aufenthalt mit besonders Charme in einer spannenden Umgebung.
Pros:

Ein besonderer Ort mit Charme und Historie und einer charmanten Gastgeberin. Man füllt sich wie in einem alten Palast. Und wir wurden herzlich begrüßt.

Cons:

Dass die Räume im Winter doch sehr kalt und feucht sind. Glücklicherweise haben wir, nachdem wir das angemerkt haben einen Radiator bekommen. Sonst wäre es zu kalt gewesen.
Kein Fahrstuhl vorhanden, was uns jetzt nicht gestört hat, aber wer nicht gut zu Fuß ist....

Un magnifique hôtel particulier mais pas de petit déjeuner
Pros:

Très bel établissement. Un magnifique hôtel particulier vous accueille au cœur de Porto.
Chambre spacieuse et confortable. Maria la propriétaire fera tout ce qu’elle peut pour un accueil au petits soins. Une belle adresse que nous ne pouvons que recommander.

Cons:

Ce n’est pas vraiment un hôtel. Pas de petit déjeuner sur place, quel dommage de ne pas pouvoir prendre le petit déjeuner dans un si bel endroit… Notre chambre donnait sur la rue. Ça n’était pas trop bruyant cependant.

Most wonderful stay
Pros:

We had an amazing weekend stay at Palacete Museu (Espaço Palmeiras) in Porto. The room was beautiful and very comfortable, the setting absolutely stunning, and the warm welcome made us feel right at home. The location is perfect — close to everything yet peaceful and full of charm. Maria and Júlia were incredibly kind and attentive, making our stay truly memorable. We loved every moment and would definitely come back!

非常值得推薦的珍貴優雅飯店
Pros:

房東瑪麗亞非常熱忱友善,員工茱莉亞小姐英文很好!房間非常讓人驚喜的美麗優雅,整理的非常用心!飯店的地點距離景點餐廳都不遠,步行即可~夜晚我從鐵橋搭uber返回飯店只要5-6歐元

Cons:

大門非常低調,最好提前和房東聯繫確認時間!房子超過2百年,雖然有裝木窗門,夜晚窗外有車經過時會有一點聲音

The room is very beautiful and the location is great, but the best bit was how hospitable Maria and Julia were to us. You can tell how much they care about this place and it is so nice to be a part of it they made us feel so welcome and we genuinely felt part of their family. We will definitely return. All our love, Sam and Joanna x

Thoroughly recommend this place - charming
Pros:

Magnificent heritage building with wonderful original decor.
Maria, the owner, really cares for her guests and takes enormous pride in the property which has been handed down through the generations.
Staying here is a wonderful Porto experience if you like the old world charm that Porto has to offer

Cons:

No lift was a little bit of an issue, but the staff are kind enough to take your luggage up and down for you. But of course original properties of that era did not have lifts.

Incredible stay in an historical home with modern updates and a convenient location.
Pros:

It was my first trip to Porto and I wanted to experience it by staying somewhere other than a traditional hotel. This lovely and interesting property provided me with that experience. I had a lovely suite with very tall ceilings, a balcony onto the street, handpainted murals and furnishings, and incredible ceiling reliefs.

Maria and Ricardo were very hospitable and kind. Ricardo recommended many sites to see, as well as bakeries and cafes. Maria was so gracious, and she oversaw the “comings and goings” for the property (which was in her family). I grew to like them very much. In hindsight, I’m so happy they were a part of my Porto experience.

When I had a minor medical issue, they helped me tremendously, which I truly appreciated as I was a solo traveler.

Pros:

A Magical Stay in a Historic Gem – A Home Away from Home

From the moment we stepped into this stunning historical house, we were captivated. Immaculately clean; every detail of the space exuded elegance, class, and a deep sense of pride. The furniture was sophisticated, the interior walls beautifully decorated, and the abundance of natural light made the already spacious rooms feel even more inviting.

Our suite was cleaned daily, maintaining a level of perfection that made us feel completely at ease. But beyond the beauty of the place itself, what truly made our stay unforgettable was Maria, the owner. Her generosity, kindness, and discretion were remarkable. She welcomed us with warmth and treated us with patience and care, making our engagement trip even more special.

On our last morning, she prepared a royal breakfast, making us feel like true guests of honor. Staying here felt like stepping into a refined, high-end lifestyle, yet with the warmth of home. Maria’s passion for sharing her beautiful palace-museum with others is evident in every little touch.

This place will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we will undoubtedly return. If you’re looking for a stay filled with elegance, history, and heartfelt hospitality, look no further.
