Massarelos House
Porto, Portugal
At Massarelos House, each of the 15 apartments tells its own unique story. Named after historic ceramic factories that shaped Porto over centuries, they carry the city’s artistic heritage, enhanced by the subtle English influence that has quietly shaped its architecture and lifestyle. Sunlit rooms with warm wooden floors, carefully selected local antiques and expressive touches of color give each apartment distinctive character and charm. Fully equipped kitchens and thoughtful details create a sense of freedom and the comfort of home.
Wooden ceilings, winding staircases, and a skylight inside the house preserve the historic charm of the buildings, while leading to inviting communal spaces that range from the living room to terraces and up to the rooftop garden with panoramic city views. The terraced garden, with shaded spots, seating areas, and a small fountain pool, offers the perfect place to unwind. Daily breakfast and housekeeping provide hotel-like comfort, while tradition, art, and modern design come together to create a unique retreat. At Massarelos House, there are no ordinary vacation rentals, only soulful spaces designed for those who want to truly experience Porto, not just visit it.
