We've been staying in Casa dos Guindais for two nights in Mid March. Right at the beginning Alvaro welcomed us very warm & he showed us his world behind the blue door, which amazed us a lot. We were very surprised to see, how an old house like this can be put in value again, combining the old stone structure... More

We stayed 3 nights at Casa dos Guindais and we LOVED it. We saw pictures of what the house looked like before Alvaro and his wife renovated it a couple of years ago and i can only say: it must take an enormous enthusiasm and a real vision (and lots of money) to change the face of a house from...

The rooms had a little balcony and the shower was located in the old 'long drop' toilet which was fun. Porto now my... More

This past October we stayed at the Casa dos Guindais for four nights having made our reservation based on Trip advisor reviews. We were not disappointed and loved our stay. Alvaro, the owner of this property has done a tremendous job of refurbishing a 200 year old structure and making it into a beautiful accommodation. He was also extremely helpful... More

A beautifully centennial home superbly renovated, with great taste and feel for tradition, with all the modern comforts. The room (Douro) was superb, imaculate and cosy.

We stayed in an apartment in Porto a few days ago, at Casa dos Guindais, a very old building which has been beautifully renovated. It is also very comfortable and close to all the places of interest for tourists, with a great view and handy to a Metro station and tourist info. We had an apartment which could be divided... More

We were excited to stay at this property after reading the rave reviews on Tripadvisor, however our stay in the ‘Pateo’ room did not live up to expectations and it is with regret I can only give 3 out of 5 for this stay. I want to leave a fair review without focusing on just the negatives. Therefore I will... More

We stayed back in June for 3 night's and couldn't have picked a better place for our base in Porto during our trip. The owner, Álvaro, was an incredible host and went the extra mile to ensure we had a pleasant stay. The rooms are very well designed and have everything you need. Cosy, stylish and functional. We'll definitely be... More
