마리아 다 세 히스토릭 하우스(Maria da SÉ Historic House)

Amazing location, in the middle of everything you need to see & all the restaurants, patios, live music, etc. The hotel & the room is tiny but that’s expected with a historical place like this. We stayed in room#2 & it had a window facing the historical wall of this building, so don’t count on much of a view or natural light! A little bit of uphill but again that’s Porto, you can hardly get around without uphills & downhills! The owner Maria & the manager Martha are attentive & caring & ensure you have a great experience with your stay. When we arrived a welcome Portuguese tart was offered which was delicious & also Martha said you can pour yourself Port wine (also super tasty) any time,

People at the hotel are very welcoming and spend time to explain everything. Good location

Siamo appena tornati da una breve ma intensa vacanza a Porto, una città sorprendentemente bella. Abbiamo soggiornato presso la guesthouse Maria da Se' (ora si chiama così), nel centro storico, e abbiamo ricevuto un'accoglienza e un'attenzione straordinari in ogni momento, dall'arrivo in aeroporto, dove Fausto e Maria ci hanno pazientemente aspettato nonostante l'enorme ritardo del volo, al momento dell'arrivo in stanza, dove abbiamo trovato un dolcissimo benvenuto con pasteis de nata e bicchierino di Porto, fino al momento in cui abbiamo lasciato la guesthouse e siamo stati riaccompagnati in aeroporto. La struttura - ospitata in un palazzetto del centro storico, a due passi dalla Cattedrale e a dieci minuti di passeggiata dal lungofiume di RIbeira - , è semplice ma accogliente, la colazione è molto buona e resa ancora più gradevole dalla attenta presenza dei gestori. Fausto, Maria ed Helena sono stati sempre attenti alle nostre richieste ed esigenze, dandoci tantissime informazioni utili sulle cose da vedere, sui negozi dove comprare souvenir (e spesso accompagnandoci!), sui ristoranti e le trattorie dove pranzare e cenare. Fausto ha organizzato una splendida giornata nella valle del Douro (per altro a prezzi decisamente inferiori a quelli offerti dalle agenzie) , durante cui ci ha accompagnato con gentilezza e pazienza regalandoci ulteriori informazioni preziose... una compagnia davvero eccellente, non avremmo potuto desiderare di meglio! Insomma, nel giro di pochi giorni possiamo dire di aver trovato degli splendidi amici a Porto e non possiamo che raccomandare a tutti un soggiorno presso questa guesthouse!

Personnel très accueillant, parlant Français! Très disponible pour les clients, Helena nous a donné pleins de tips pour arpenté les meilleurs endroits de Porto ! La chambre est petite mais largement suffisante étant donné que le logement est situé en pleins centre historique !

Now with a different name, this is a lovely guesthouse very well located for a first timer in Porto. Clean, very well decorated, cozy. You are received with a warm welcome and Sussana explains you the touristic spots . The room was just what I needed, fresh, clean and cozy. Breakfast is really good and healthy!. I'll definitely stay there when I visit again.

Excellent central location in city centre approx 5 mins from nearest metro stop. Clean and modern. Our room was small but had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. Welcome from Marta was above and beyond expectations. Not only did she introduce us to the guesthouse but supplied us with a drink of port and pastel da nata when we arrived ! she gave us an intro to the city highlights , supplied us with a map and even booked boat trip, tuk tuk ride and port cellar tour for us . She answered our questions during our stay in a friendly and efficient way. She is a great asset to her employer and the questhouse. Overall we could not have wanted more from our stay at this guesthouse and would fully recommend it for a short city break to Porto.

We had an absolutely amazing stay! Maria is a wonderful host and was not only welcoming but also very helpful in making our trip to Porto so fantastic. The location was great and walking distance to everything including many nearby restaurants. We would definitely recommend this hotel!

It’s all about location and this house was perfect. The host Maria was engaging and very knowledgeable about the area.

A lovely place to stay in Porto. So convenient for the Cathedral and the river. Marta could not have been more helpful; booking parking in advance, offering invaluable advice on restaurants, sightseeing, transport etc. She helped us with luggage (we had a lot, as we are on the road for a month) and with laundry too. She even went to the trouble of researching our onward travel on our behalf.I cannot recommend this place more highly.
