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.

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!

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.

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..
