Charming Antas House

Antas House was wonderful. Manuela, the owner, was warm and friendly and had great suggestions for local restaurants that we would never have found on our own. Our room had charming details and was very comfortable and clean. The breakfast was sumptuous. A big bonus for us was meeting her giant Estrella doggos.

This the most fabulous little hotel. Beautifully decorated and very comfortable. It is a great location with very secure parking. The whole level of service is exemplary and the breakfast was quite outstanding and Manuela does an outstanding job to make things as comfortable as they could possibly be.

On our driving tour of Northern Portugal we mainly stayed in quite large hotels, but here in Porto we found a complete and lovely contrast. I had read that driving in central Porto was difficult which ruled out quite a few of the well-reviewed hotels. Spreading my search a little wider I came upon Charming Antas House with its excellent reviews on Trip Advisor. Mention of private off road parking settled the issue. We can confirm that all the previous reviews are absolutely spot on. The “charming” tag is well deserved. This was nothing like the big hotels, not even a boutique hotel, it was like being a guest in a private home. Our enormous bedroom was beautifully furnished and decorated with pictures and paintings – some the work of Manuela. There was a large bathroom with double wash basins and shower. The breakfast room was impressive. Not many breakfast rooms have a pool table in them! Again lots of art work on the walls. An honesty bar for evening drinks. And the food on offer each morning! We had four breakfasts, each one with the eggs served differently. A magnificent spread of cooked meats and cheeses too. Our hosts Manuela and Joao were kind and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. The car stayed in the grounds of the house throughout our stay. It was a ten minute walk to the Combatentes Metro station, from where it was only four stops to central Porto. Highly recommended!

My sister and I stayed in this beautiful house in Porto, which lived up to it's name ("Charming") and more. The host was so welcoming and helped make our stay there exceptional. The breakfast buffet was outright decadent and delicious. And throughout the house we noticed a lot of artwork and antiques and came to learn that some of the paintings were done by the owner. This was our favorite place that we stayed in Portugal and one that we'll remember for a long time - can't recommend it highly enough.

The home is gorgeous, the rooms spacious and beautifully decorated! The host warm and helpful. A wonderful place to stay! The breakfast was all homemade, even cheese and bread from local places. Quick train to city center. Lovely and quiet neighborhood. Had a convenient on-site parking.
