Nestled in the historic city center of Oporto, the Douro Guest House, formerly known as Guest House Douro Porto, is the first accommodation of its kind in the riverside area. This charming property forms part of a colorful collection of riverside buildings that regularly feature in postcard shots of the city and is situated in a building classified as a national monument.
Located next to the banks of Rio Douro, Guest House Douro Porto's prime location allows guests to enjoy direct views of the river while being surrounded by the city's main touristic attractions and historic monuments. Popular points of interest nearby include Palacio da Bolsa, Ferreira Borges Market, and Sao Bento Metro Station. The hotel is less than 1 km from the center, a 1-minute walk from Ribeira Square, within 0.6 km of Sao Bento, and 20 km away from Francisco Sa Carneiro.
Each of the eight rooms at the Douro Guest House offers comfortable beds, lockers, and private bathrooms with all amenities. Some rooms boast splendid views of the historic Fonte Taurina street or the picturesque Douro River, and all are adorned with white linen and duvets, giving a clean, crisp look.
Guests can enjoy a delightful breakfast, which includes freshly squeezed Algarve oranges, crispy bread rolls with a selection of meats, cheeses, and homemade jams, as well as an impressive assortment of local and tropical fruits that adorn tables like works of art.
The renovated guesthouse provides warm, relaxed service, with husband and wife team Carmen and João treating guests like friends rather than customers. Staying at this accommodation feels akin to being a guest in the owners' home.
