Renovated in 2012, the guesthouse occupies a building typical of Porto's bourgeoisie of the nineteenth century and offers 6 rooms. Built in 1847, it stands out for its bare stone walls covered with relief patterned tiles, where the colour and brightness of the sun's reflection on the glaze of the tiles cheerfully combines with the dark and sombre tone of the granite. This type of house was first built by the Portuguese returning from Brazil after the country's independence in 1822, as they wanted to invest their fortunes to socially assert themselves as part of the bourgeois elite. The highlights of this comfortable interior are its intelligent and sober luxury, the stucco ceilings, the enhanced stained glass, the palatial layout of the house's divisions and the central staircase illuminated by a magnificent skylight. Guests are welcomed in the lobby, which offers a newspaper stand and a TV lounge. Additional amenities include a breakfast room, Internet access and, for a fee, a laundry service.
