Hotel Casa Dos Guindais

Thus, this is a site that witnessed great moments of national history as for example the French invasions in 1810. Casa dos Guindais was also a family home not open to the public for several generations.
Thanks to the current owners, Francisca and Álvaro, and a splendid renovation by renowned architects, the house has been transformed into an extremely comfortable accommodation that perfectly blends its historic heritage with modernity. It is ideal both for a great relaxed weekend to visit the inescapable of the beautiful city of Porto, as well as for a longer stay that allows you to explore also the interior of the wonderful Douro region. The renovation of Casa dos Guindais not only took into account the original architectural bases but preserved some of the oldest elements of the house adding a touch of modernity and simplicity. You will also notice the good taste in the use of typical materials of the city - Granite (the city of Porto is sometimes referred to as the "Granite City", iron, wood and glass.
 For the guest, the result is 5 excellent studio apartments completely independent and equipped (See room description for more detailed information). All the apartments will give you that feeling of solidity and resistance so typical of Porto. But beyond that, the icing on the cake is the courtyard and garden of the house, sometimes hard to find in the homes in the heart of the city. In other words, a beautiful house very well situated and close to places of historical interest that are worth to be visited such as the already mentioned Sé, the Clérigos Tower, São Bento Station (considered one of the most beautiful in the world, thanks to its tiles) and the Majestic Café.
The current owners of Casa dos Guindais are also wonderful. This cosmopolitan and well-traveled couple knows without a doubt what true hospitality is all about. In short, the location, its history, comfort and hospitality make Casa dos Guindais a beautiful bet.
