InPatio Guest House

Although we've been quite a few times to Portugal (and love the place!), this was our first experience in Porto. As always, selecting the place to stay is a difficult art as so much depends - overall - on that part of the trip. Boy! Have we been blessed by the choice we made to stay at the InPatio Guest House! Not only was the hotel ideally located for getting around (by foot, taxi, Über ...) and visit the many great places the city has to offer (including its restaurants...) but, as we got to learn, how charming its hosts are. It so happens we were - very - unlucky with the weather. Of course, the sun came back as we taking off from the airport on our journey back home, but it didn't stop pouring rain during the three days we were in Porto. Olga and Fernando made a big difference by always going the extra mile for making sure we would make the best from the situation. Many other guests have praised the quality of the (home made) breakfast, and that's totally true. Plus, getting explanations on the different pieces served - differently - every morning was quite welcomed. What can I say? If one day we want to go back there and do the many things we missed last time because of the bad weather, we will schedule our visit according to the availability of Olga and Fernando's place. Muito obrigado, queridos amigos!

We had 5 wonderful nights at InPatio. Olga and Fernando are excellent hosts. Great communication prior to our arrival. The location is perfect for exploring the city, close to the train station, river and restaurants. Our room was spotlessly clean, comfortable bed and quiet. Breakfast is amazing with local meats & cheeses, yogurt (with a new topping every morning), bread, croissants, fruit and jam. Highly recommend.

Excellent location in Ribeira district, walking distance to lots of attractions, livrario lello, Igreja de carmo, clerigos tower, Ponte dom luis 1, port cellars, river trips and so many bars and restaurants. Inpatio is very modern, clean, tidy with simple tasteful decor. Bathrooms big with good showers. Breakfast is simple but so good, presented beautifully, produce is all top quality and fresh. Meats, cheese and jams are Portuguese and explained with great enthusiasm by Olga. Fernando is very pleasant and helpful too. Charming place ran by equally charming people, forget the big chain hotels and stay here!!!!

We had a wonderful stay at inPatio Guest House in Porto. The location is terrific, just steps away from so many places of interest but located inside a quiet courtyard - a perfect combination. The Guest House is extremely clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. The room rate was very reasonable. Olga and Ferdinand were friendly and helpful from our first email contact through our stay. Jr welcomed us warmly. We highly recommend staying here.

We stayed 4 nights at InPatio and absolutely loved it. The place is spotless, rooms are excellent. The hosts were welcoming and Olga prepared a delicious breakfast including Portuguese specialties which added to the stay. Best of all is the location. Across from the stock exchange, close to the waterfront and lots of eating options. Would highly recommend.

Great location near the river. Set in an area between buildings-making it a quiet experience. Simple furnishings, no elevator, but big bathroom! Best part was Olga presenting us a beautiful tray of tasty, healthy food for breakfast each morning (at our table) and explaining where each item came from around Portugal!
