The room and bathroom were very clean and spacious. Paulo and his Dad were very helpful and made us feel very welcome. The property was well situated - near to two metro stations and several cafes and restaurants, and a twenty minute downhill walk to the city centre. We would stay here again if visiting Porto.

A true gem

This was one of our favourite places we’ve ever stayed, and I travel 50% of the year for work. Not only was the place impeccably clean and quiet but the hosts were incredible. To say he was kind and welcoming is an understatement - our last night we shared some port wine and talked for a few hours with Gil and it was one of our favourite parts of the trip. We stayed in the suite and it was beautiful and SO clean. Loved the tile work and it was a perfect size for a week stay. Our whole stay he kept making sure we were okay and enjoying our time in Porto. The neighborhood is quiet and has some great restaurants nearby (Augustos for dinner!) and is close proximity to the Centre. I’ll 100% return here if I get the chance to visit Porto again. Thanks again for your hospitality!

Great location, close to metro station

A recently renovated guest house in a great location. It's about 5 minutes walk from the metro station in a quiet location. There's plenty of cafes and restaurants in the local area and a small supermarket. You can walk to the city centre in less than half an hour (all downhill) or hop on the metro for 4 or 5 stops, we walked in and caught the metro back up the hill.

Would not stay anywhere else in Porto

Could not be any better, perfect place. The room was spacious, very clean and very comfortable. Location was excellent with a 4 minute walk to the metro with only a handful of stops into central Porto. We met the father and son, and they are brilliant and so helpful. We left very early this morning and very surprised to be met by the father whom presented us with 2 beautiful photos of Porto which we will treasure. Canjot recommend this beautiful guesthousehighly enough and we would certainly stay tgere if we returned to Porto.

Excellent hosts. Beautiful house.

I travelled to Porto with my 10 year old son for our very first holiday abroad together. I was therefore a little apprehensive about whether it would meet our expectations, and that we would feel safe and comfortable.

I can honestly say that staying with the amazing owners of Casa Velha Guesthouse made our trip that much better. They were warm, engaging, friendly, generous with their time and knowledge, gave me so much advise and tips on where to go and what to do in the city.

Our room was beautiful, clean and quiet. The house is lovely - a real traditional treat. The bathroom was spotless and beautifully designed (and has a shower you never want to leave.) Fresh fluffy towels were provided everyday and our bed was big and comfortable.

As both the owners are busy, you can come ands go during the day without feeling overwhelmed or intrusive - it really feels like your own private haven. But they were also always there to greet us in the evening.

The guesthouse is located just five minutes walk away from the metro station, and the frequent trains means you can get into the city centre quickly. But this is also a very peaceful area. It's authentic - a working residential street, and so if you want to feel part of the community and get away from the tourists this is great.

We had breakfast at the same cafe on the corner every morning - as their pastries and coffee were delicious, and the staff recognised and made us feel welcome every morning. There's also plenty of small

Quiet guesthouse within easy reach of Porto centre

The hosts made me very welcome in their guesthouse. They were always available to answer queries, and discretely checked that I was enjoying my stay.The room was spotless, warm and fresh. I enjoyed a good sleep every night on a very comfortable bed, with no noticeable traffic noise from outside. The nearest metro was only about 400m away, and a mini-supermarket the same distance. On departure, I was given a very warm send off and I would like to thank my hosts for their hospitality.

Lovely family run guest house.

I had a very enjoyable stay. The family who run it were all very friendly, generous and helpful. I was given a very comfortable bedroom with my own bathroom, and even a leaving present! (One of the owner's own photograph's of Porto). They made me feel very welcome, and it was nice to be able to talk to them about my experiences in Porto during the evening before I left.

The location of this guest house is very convenient too because it is close to two Metro stations on the yellow line which runs right through the centre of Porto. The value for money was amazing too. I only paid £61 (68 euros) for my 3 nights stay. I would definitely stay there again if I were to return to Porto!

Такой красивый и уютный дом! Я приехала совсем рано и мне открыли и разрешили оставить вещи (все комнаты были заняты). Станция метро близко, также рядом парк и кафе, где вкусная выпечка. Я жила в одноместное номере, небольшом, но очень уютном. Хорошая ванная комната со всем необходимым. Очень рекомендую!

O quarto é limpo e confortável. A sala de banho é limpa e perfumada! A estação de metrô Combatentes é próxima e conecta a todas as áreas de interesse. Porto é encantadora.

Le propriétaire Gil et sont fils ont été d'une gentillesse rare et nous ont renseignés sur tous le séjour, ils nous accordés beaucoup de temps et même fait des rechetches pour sur les transports et autres..je conseille fortement ce guesthouse même si il n'ai pas au centre, néanmoins il y a une avenue a descendre pour arriver au centre.
Nous avons fait toute la côte du Portugal en seéournant dans différent établissements et je peux vous assurer qu'il est de loin le meilleur!!! Merci a Gil et Paulo pour votre gentillesse..à très bientôt!

A nice stay in a local guesthouse

I had a great stay at Casa Velha Guesthouse. The room was lovely and it as well and the bathroom were spotlessly clean. The family running the guesthouse was really friendly and helpful and they even gave me a nice present when I was leaving. The area was really calm and I really liked that. The neighborhood was quite residential and not really interesting as such but it did not take longer than 20 minutes to walk to the center and there were 2 metro stations close by.
