VIVA Casa da Praça with Pool and terrace

A fun stay in a quirky room

Pros: The room was incredibly spacious, with a comfortable main bed. The decorations were quirky, with each room having a different theme to it (we stayed in the 'Flight Room' with a big suspended aeroplane hanging from the ceiling). The shower had a good temperature, and had waterfall and regular shower head options. The room felt bright during the day, and had a kitchenette with a kettle, toaster and microwave, as well as a small fridge. There was a common room with books and games, as well as an honesty jar for buying alcoholic drinks or bottled water. Unfortunately we didn't get a chance to try out the pool during to the weather and our busy itinerary, but it looked like a well-maintained and relaxing space. The hosts were very responsive, and gave recommendations about restaurants and attractions in Porto.

Cons: While it wasn't necessarily a big problem for the time of year we visited, the air conditioning seemed to be broken, as was the main entrance door to the building. The accommodation was a little further out from the centre of town, but only about a 10-min walk to a metro station.

Great stay, Good place

Pros: The sphere and the location. Functional appartement, Nice decoration, friendly staff.

Cons: It could be a bit cleaner, dust on lamps, plane, decoration. And confortable.

Close proximity to the city centre. Spacious studio flats.

Pros: Close proximity to the city centre is very nice. Comfortable bed. Good use of space. Good communication from the host and a possibility to check in slightly early. Nice front market outside on the square. Nice themes of the rooms, like Sport, Luggage,…

Cons: Improvements could be done to have a drying rack for the dishes, kitchen towels (paper), kitchen cloth (more than one), repair the fridge as the freezer section is not functional.

Really enjoyable

Pros: Really nice room, well furnished, clean and spacious. A good location for getting to everything.

Lovely place, very close to everything, well worth it!

Pros: We had a lovely double bedroom with a king size bed, uk theme and a large shower. It was very quiet and view on the pool. After working out when the sun was at his best on the pool we had a nice relaxing time for a couple of hours.

Cons: The pool area is very small, I wouldn’t say we didn’t like it but you have to be prepared to share your space if too many people.

Great introduction to Porto!

Pros: Lovely converted old house. Big room, and bed, comfortable too. Great design, with thought. Walking distance from centre and everything you want to see. Free parking. Cafes and restaurants nearby.

Cons: Nothing.

Lovely homely hidden gem

Pros: Beautiful property the bed was soooo comfy rooms are big and very quite and tranquil

Cons: The ground floor smelt a little damp

Pros: Great communication, nice location, good double bed.

Cons: Fouton bed was not the best, but good enough

Gorgeous quirky space

Pros: Amazing location. Quirky accommodation. Loved the pool. Great communication. Shower lovely and hot. Loved the little square and all the hubris of normal life in Porto. Very near a great selection of bars and restaurants. Everywhere is walkable but Uber so cheap also. It was perfect for our stay. Look forward to coming back.

Stylish Porto apartment with a pool, near the Douro
