Charming Antas House

On our driving tour of Northern Portugal we mainly stayed in quite large hotels, but here in Porto we found a complete and lovely contrast. I had read that driving in central Porto was difficult which ruled out quite a few of the well-reviewed hotels. Spreading my search a little wider I came upon Charming Antas House with its excellent reviews on Trip Advisor. Mention of private off road parking settled the issue. We can confirm that all the previous reviews are absolutely spot on. The “charming” tag is well deserved. This was nothing like the big hotels, not even a boutique hotel, it was like being a guest in a private home. Our enormous bedroom was beautifully furnished and decorated with pictures and paintings – some the work of Manuela. There was a large bathroom with double wash basins and shower. The breakfast room was impressive. Not many breakfast rooms have a pool table in them! Again lots of art work on the walls. An honesty bar for evening drinks. And the food on offer each morning! We had four breakfasts, each one with the eggs served differently. A magnificent spread of cooked meats and cheeses too. Our hosts Manuela and Joao were kind and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. The car stayed in the grounds of the house throughout our stay. It was a ten minute walk to the Combatentes Metro station, from where it was only four stops to central Porto. Highly recommended!

Perfectly located just outside of the centre . Everything you could want or need is supplied. And everywhere is beyond clean. The hosts are warm and friendly and the breakfast buffet has lots of choices. We highly recommend this small hotel.

My sister and I stayed in this beautiful house in Porto, which lived up to it's name ("Charming") and more. The host was so welcoming and helped make our stay there exceptional. The breakfast buffet was outright decadent and delicious. And throughout the house we noticed a lot of artwork and antiques and came to learn that some of the paintings were done by the owner. This was our favorite place that we stayed in Portugal and one that we'll remember for a long time - can't recommend it highly enough.

The home is gorgeous, the rooms spacious and beautifully decorated! The host warm and helpful. A wonderful place to stay! The breakfast was all homemade, even cheese and bread from local places. Quick train to city center. Lovely and quiet neighborhood. Had a convenient on-site parking.

Incredible! This hotel is an absolute gem! Communication with the owners is super easy and responsive. I was asked to even check in early, which was really nice and convenient for me. The hotel, it is absolutely beautiful! Very nice home converted into hotel. So if you are looking for a place with few rooms, that is very clean, with excellent service, and appreciate privacy…look no further. Also, they provide maps of the city and even recommendations for your trip, as well as metro card that you can use and simply top up with credit. The room, we had the Cream Suite. Just as beautiful! Extremely clean, even the towels smell like baby powder! Rooms are spacious, with A/C and very dark at night as well. Breakfast buffet, is delicious. All home made meals! We really enjoyed our three night stay, and look forward at coming back in the future! To Manuela and Joao, thank you for the excellent service!

I booked this place for my parents see the Dragon stadium, and they love it , as this place are just around the corner , very close to the Drangon Stadium. The Landlady was very friendly and polite, giving me advices about the localation , Mrs Manuela makes me feel very welcome also .. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy Porto city..

It was a wonderful stay. The property was beautifully furnished and breakfast was a delightful spread of cold and warm items. Metro was a 10-minute walk - lovely in the May weather (but might get uncomfortable in the hot or cold months). Above all, Manuela and Joao were amazing hosts who obviously took great pride in the hospitality they provided. If I return to Porto, I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Really is a Charming place. Wonderful hosts in a quiet neighborhood away from the busy city center. Just a short 30 walk to the water or quick, inexpensive Uber ride. We were served a delicious breakfast every morning, and hosts made great restaurant recommendations in the area. Would definitely stay there again!

We stayed the second time in this wonderful house. This time for six nights. Everything was perfect. The rooms are really nice, very clean and comfortable. We had a fantastic breakfast. Manuela and her husband made us feel welcome. Portwine und really good information about Porto included. The Metro is not far away. We had wonderful days in Porto. Thank you very much!
