🌟 A hidden gem in the heart of Porto – thanks to Maria da Sé Historic House! 🌟
We spent four wonderful days at Maria da Sé Historic House, a place that perfectly blends elegance, history, and authenticity. From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed and cared for in every detail.
A special thank you goes to Maria, the manager, who is truly the heart and soul of this charming place. Her natural beauty, sincere kindness, and rare humility deeply impressed us. She was always present yet never intrusive, ready to help with anything and made us feel like very special guests from day one.
The property is beautifully maintained, striking the perfect balance between historic charm and modern comfort. Our room was spotless, quiet, and tastefully decorated. Breakfast was varied, fresh, and served in a lovely setting that invites you to slow down and savor the moment.
The location is ideal – just steps from the Cathedral and the vibrant center of Porto, yet in a peaceful area that offers perfect relaxation after a day of exploring.
We wholeheartedly recommend Maria da Sé Historic House to anyone looking for an authentic, refined, and truly human experience. Maria is a wonderful host who turns a simple stay into a treasured memory.

Read moreI stayed in the attic on the 4th floor which had a great view. The apartment was clean and the kind employee cleaned it daily. Good bed and pillows, fridge and a balcony. It is centrally located, between Sao Bento station and Ribeira district, close to shops and bus stop and Rua des Flores, the main shopping street. |Now the negatives.. The view is excellent but during the night it was dark and lonely and felt unsafe. Also, the stairs are really narrow, very difficult especially with luggage. Finally, the bathroom has no heating.
