The Reveal
CozyInsta-WorthyRelaxingCentral location
This is the perfect home for those who like to relax at the end of the day, after exploring the city, drinking a Porto wine in the beautiful and exotic tropical garden! The whole house opens on glass over the garden and the two small fish ponds, which is very pleasant even at night, as the garden is lit and heated on cold nights! The house only has 40 m2 inside, but it is very well equipped and very comfortable.
CLEANING AND DISINFECTION OF THE HOUSE IS SUBJECT TO A RIGOROUS CHECK BEFORE YOUR ARRIVAL to ******** you maximum comfort and safety. Environmentally friendly cleaning and disinfection products are used. THE 5 STAR REVIEWS THROUGH THESE YEARS GIVE YOU THE ******** THAT THIS IS A PRIORITY FOR US The configuration of the house, with direct access to the street, avoids contact in common areas, as it happens in other accommodations like hotels and apartments.
With an excellent location in the heart of Porto, set in the lush and exotic garden of a typical house of Porto from the end of the 19th century, this house allows you to enjoy a relaxing and refined atmosphere in the heart of the city.
The house consists of glazed spaces over the garden, with living room, bedroom with a comfortable double bed, kitchenette and bathroom, that through three sliding panels allows you to isolate the area of the livingroom where is the sofa bed for two persons (1, 45 x 2.05), making this space a second room independent of the dining area. The silence and tranquility of these spaces are guaranteed by double glazing.
In summer the house is always very fresh, hence it is not necessary to have air conditioning. And in winter it is well heated, making it very comfortable.
The kitchen is fully equipped, including vitro-ceramic hob, fridge, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, oven, grill, espresso machine, coffee machine, kettle, etc. And in the house there is also a washing machine and a vacuum cleaner, 26 ”LCD television and Wi-Fi connection.
We offer fresh fruits and Porto wine for consumption on arrival free. On the floor above the house there is an ample glazing made of glass brick from the garage, which is for your exclusive use if you come by car!

Unless your booking was made less than two weeks before your arrival, in which case you should tell us as soon as possible what time and how you will be arriving in Porto Otherwise, we cannot ******** that someone will be available to give you the keys to the apartment. 3 - If you change your arrival time on the day of arrival (with a tolerance of one hour), you will have to pay a fee of 40 euros per hour. Unless this is due to changes in the flight's landing time. 4 - At the time of booking, you must also provide us with the following information necessary to complete the accommodation form required by Portuguese law: 1 - full names 2 - full address 3 - dates and places of birth 4 - nationalities 5 - passport or European citizen card numbers, issuing countries 6 - your email address The accommodation slip is compulsory for all guests, and only the guests mentioned on it can stay in the apartment. These details must be provided to us at the time of booking, regardless of the details you have already provided to the platform. GUESTS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO ENTER THE APARTMENT WITHOUT HAVING PREVIOUSLY SENT US THESE COMPLETE DETAILS 5 - We regret that we cannot accommodate dogs or other pets No smoking inside the apartment. Smoking is only allowed on the terrace and in the garden. Please dispose of cigarette butts in the ashtray. If the apartment smells of tobacco, you will be charged 250 euros from the ********, as extra thorough cleaning will be required. 6 - Please leave your keys inside the apartment when you check out. Check-out time is 11:00. It may be possible to check out later on request 7 - We are not responsible for faults in the goods and services provided by the water, gas, electricity, internet and TV supply companies. 8 - The house is located in a garden, so it is natural for small insects to appear unexpectedly. Inside the house, there is an electronic device to prevent insects from entering, and the openings to the outside are regularly treated with insect repellent spray. The unexpected entry of a small insect is something that is beyond our control and has nothing to do with cleanliness. This house, like all our accommodations, has a very high standard of cleanliness, as guests' comments attest. Therefore, we do not accept any complaint based on the unexpected presence of an insect that has entered the house from the garden or introduced through the guest's luggage. We regret the need to include this obvious fact in the House Rules, but unfortunately we are aware of complaints made to our colleagues with a profound lack of common sense, and we are therefore obliged to introduce this aspect here.

What a unique place unreplicated anywhere else. Truly a beautiful space. There was ample fresh fruit and drinks and a well-stocked kitchen. Our laundry was even done for us, and returned the same day. How's that for service! Just be forewarned that the bathroom is at the opposite end of the house from the bedroom, and the bathroom is two steps above the rest of the space. Jorge gave us a personal welcome including pointing out sites, restaurants and bars. Such hospitality!

Jorge's place is an absolute must-stay! I have been welcomed warmly by Jorge's sister Manuela, who has made my check-in really easy. She has given me recommendations of places to visit, and told me about all the best local places for food. Jorge's Garden House is a clean, well-equipped, and warm place to stay, which is located a few minute walk from the centre. It has also easy access to the metro/bus services. There was wine, coffee, and fresh fruit provided. Overall, The Garden House was a really beautiful, and cosy place to stay at, therefore I would love to stay here again!

This beautiful, stylish apartment is set in the stunning garden of a fabulous Porto townhouse. A great location, just a short walk into the historic city centre. The apartment is full of high-quality furniture and fittings and a very comfortable base from which to enjoy Porto. Jorge is very welcoming and informative, helping to orientate guests to the highlights of the city. I highly recommend staying here!

Jorge's accommodation is perfect. Clean, bright, modern and tastefully decorated. With a garden, parking and ponds with koi fish! The location is unbeatable, close to the Center and everything you could need: supermarkets, restaurants, tourist attractions... Jorge is a super attentive and friendly host, welcoming us with fruit and wines and all kinds of personalized suggestions. Always accessible and flexible. It has been a 10/10 stay. Highly recommended. Thank you, Jorge.

Jorge and Manuela, his sister, were great hosts. They took time to orient us to the city and were responsive whenever we had a question or problem. The apartment is well located in a neighborhood with restaurants, groceries and easy walking distance to the historic areas and river. The apartment is well designed with a glass wall in the dining/living room which makes it feel like your are in the lovely garden. We would definitely stay here again.

From the moment you descend the steps into this garden oasis, you know you are in a special place. The care and artistry put into this subterranean retreat cannot be overstated; it is simply beautiful and beautifully executed. Thank you/Obrigado, Jorge
