Welcome to Your Villa in Porto!

Set in the Garden’s of Canto De Luz, one of Porto’s leading boutique hotels is my brand new modern Villa Almada, a large 2 bedroom home set in the tranquillity that could be the middle of the countryside but is actually the centre of the old town of Porto. This luxury 2 bedroom home has a large open plan living kitchen dining room, where a sofa bed means that the Villa can accommodate up to 7 guests (4 adults + 3 kids, or 6 adults + 1 child). 

When you rent our villa in Porto, the rate includes Daily HouseKeeping service and Breakfast served in our Orangerie or the Villa each day.

The Villa has a large private dining patio with its own gas BBQ and has a huge garden all or which is exclusively yours. The property is filled with custom-made furniture, original art, premium appliances and fun gadgets.

The Villa’s piece de resistance is the dedicated private outdoor pool which is nestled at the back of the garden and has a beautiful wood decking sun terrace to maximise your downtime.

If you want to rent a Villa in Porto, Villa Almada is a perfect choice. It is located at the very heart of the city, minutes of walk away from Avenida dos Aliados, Torre dos Clérigos, Rua das Flores, Ribeira and the riverfront. If you are travelling as a smaller group, also take a look at our Urban Retreat Porto — a private 2-bedroom apartment with patio set inside the Canto De Luz, offering that same tranquil countryside feel right in the heart of the old town. Restaurants, shops, supermarkets, bike rental and Vinotecas (traditional wine shops) are also next door.

Our breakfasts have become a part of Porto’s folklore – they change daily according to the season and produce available in our local markets – always homemade with love. At Canto de Luz, our legendary homemade breakfast is served in our lovely Orangerie and garden terrace, enjoyed with the people you love. And if you want to dive deeper into Porto’s incredible food and wine scene, Canto Cooking is our very own culinary school right here on site — offering market tours, hands-on cooking classes, and an unforgettable Porto wine tasting with tapas, cheese and ham. It’s the perfect way to truly experience what makes Porto Portugal’s gastronomic capital.

Neighbourhood

Porto soothes the soul. The second city to Lisbon, it’s completely different in style and vibe. The rich history of the city is woven into everything you come across, from the food, the wine, the docks and commerce and even its people. 

It’s the kind of city where people come for a weekend and stay a lifetime. Edgy yet opulent, the city has art on every corner, from galleries and museums to street art to edgy modern art and graffiti installations, each telling the story of a different time and slice of Porto living.

Getting around

Within Porto you can walk everywhere, but there are also a plethora of other options from bike and electric scooter rental to Uber and Bolt, as well as municipal bus and train services. 

Porto is approximately 3 hours by train from Lisbon Apolonia Station, or 2.5 hours by road to Lisbon. You can reach Porto airport within 15-20 minutes by car / taxi.
