Garden of Camellias ★ Charming house near beach (4 bedrooms)

If you're looking for an authentic experience in Porto, this is the right place to stay! This stylish and cosy house offers the perfect escape from downtown's hustle and bustle...
The Garden of Camellias is located in a small typical and picturesque walking street of cobblestone in the romantic neighbourhood of Foz, a classified heritage site. It is just a few steps away from the beach, the river and the Passeio Alegre Park and it takes only around 15 minutes to get to the city centre by public transportation.
This charming three-storey house was beautifully renovated in 2017 by the architect Pedro Jervell. The design is very fresh, clean and airy. While the fine steel craftsmanship adds a cool vintage industrial vibe to the interiors, the subtle lighting and the beautiful wood-paneled walls gently bring a feeling of warmth and comfort. There is a sense uniqueness and cosiness, a tranquil atmosphere that feels like home...
The luminous and spacious living and dining area is an expression of timeless elegance, showcasing a refined eclectic décor on a off-white palette enhanced with ocean blue accents. Different layers of textures and materials are blissfully blended with the white cement floor and walls as well as with the beamed attic ceiling cropped by big skylights. There is also a fully equipped kitchen and a bathroom on the top floor.
All the four bedrooms were individually decorated. Each one of them features a large comfortable wide bed, well-appointed furnishings and an en-suite bathroom, ensuring high quality and great comfort standards. The two bedrooms that are on the groundfloor overlooking the quiet charming street feature rich leather armchairs against an uplifting background that mixes earth-toned and nature-inspired elements. The bedrooms on the first floor are more spacious and display sophisticated contemporary furniture. Natural light is enhanced by using chic metal accents, mirrors and glass that nicely standout from the neutral color scheme of the rooms.
Guests can also take some time to relax and unwind to the sound of birds singing in the idyllic backyard. The old cobblestone pathway flanked by aromatic shrubs and graceful rosetrees leads to this quiet retreat's centerpiece, the old well behind which camellias trees align. At the end of the backyard there is a nice sundeck with restful lounge chairs.
The use of the garden is exclusive for the guests that are staying both at the house and at the apartments of the Garden of Camellias.
Linen, towels, toiletries, and daily cleaning service are included in the standard rate. There is free high-speed wifi in all the property.
The Garden of Camellias is just a few steps away from the Casa Bela apartments, which can be rented along with the house for larger groups.

We loved it!
Ariana's place was comfortable and well-appointed and Ariana was wonderful as a host. All of us agreed that the beds were comfortable and the upstairs living space was meticulously neat and had everything we needed. She answered all of our questions promptly, checked-in with us periodically to make sure that everything was going smoothly, and gave us wonderful dinner recommendations at local restaurants. We highly recommend Ariana and her place!

Great Place!
We really enjoyed our stay! It is a very spacious residence with everything that we needed for a comfortable stay for six people. Love the modern design elements complementing the older building style nicely. It was a great location with a short walk to the waterfront and with easy access to the historical part of the city. Ariana was an accommodating and gracious host providing lots of useful information about the area. There are restaurants, grocery store and coffee shop all within walking distance. Thanks Ariana for your kind hospitality!

At the mouth of the Douro
When I booked this home online, I hoped that the pictures accurately represented the accommodations. We were met by the owner who accurately described the home as her baby. It is furnished beautifully and was super clean. The pictures really does not do the space justice. We were overjoyed with our stay and the location. We walked to the ocean every day to watch the waves. The location is so close to a grocery store, a bakery and even a Michelin Star restaurant. We appreciated the promptness of the owner to all messages. If ever in Porto, stay here.
