we stayed in this little gem for a couple of days and we loved it so much that we almost didn't want to get out and visit the rest of the city. It is a tastefully reconstructed house, built in solid rock. The owner, Alvaro, is very friendly and has a beautiful and inspiring personal history. He was very helpful... More

We spent three nights with our 1 year old son in this very tastefully renovated "casa". The location is perfect for discovering Porto and our room was very beautiful. Confortable bed, nice furniture, possibility to create a "second bedroom" for our son. Also very calm. On top of this, the owner of the establishment is remarkably kind and welcoming. I... More

Definitely the kind of place we were looking for whenever we go out to travel. The service was great, good design: traditional meets modern, good location: quiet but near to the centre of Porto. Highly recommended for anybody that wanted to visit Porto. More

The owner of the conversion was helpful and welcoming. We really enjoyed staying here in Porto, we would go back here again and recommend it to others. We stayed in the Tunnel room which is compact, they do have bigger rooms if this is what you require, the room is still bigger that most hotel rooms. The location was excellent.... More

A family home that has been proudly converted in to several stylish apartments....peaceful, but convenient location which combine with some good value rates to make this a great choice for visiting porto. Also has a few extra touches that make your stay a little easier. Recommended. My only point is that the free wifi has very poor reception in the... More

Our experience in Casa dos Guindais far exceeded our expectations and will make a long lasting good impression of our first ever visit to Porto and Portugal! As advised in our booking confirmation, I phone the owner, Alvaro, the evening before our departure to let him know our flight arrival time, and he was able to work out when to... More

Alvaro Aguiar and his wife have obviously poured their heart into this small, 5-room B&B that occupies a fine old stone house right in the heart of old city. We were met by Alvaro, who showed us to our rooms, he was very welcoming and friendly, but does not live on the premises, so Casa dos Guindais feels very private.... More

Alvaro was extremely nice and helpful. The building is very nice and has been renovated to create a very welcoming and cosy atmoshpere. We stayed in the Cristal room which is very nice. Very clean and quite. The only slightly negative thing for us was the fact that we could hear steps from people in the room above us, but... More

The place: We stayed here recently for a long weekend during the January Holidays. I did my research and expected Casa dos Guindais to be a great place, but when I arrived I found it to be even better than I expected. The owner has carefully renovated this old home to include multiple stylish studios. We stayed in the Escadas... More

Thanks a million for renovating a part of Porto so that we could have a fabulous place to stay. The apartments are all excellent and wonderfully maintained throughout! Porto was a wonderful city to enjoy the final moments of 2011 and to start off 2012. Hope to be back soon!!! From happy Irish tourist! More
