The mezzanine studio is located in a four floors renewed building. This 48 sqm second floor studio was designed to conciliate the contemporary architecture with the ancient and lovely preexisting details of the old building. It has a bedroom in the mezzanine, a toilet and a generous living room with a fully equipped kitchenette. Its interesting architecture makes this studio very comfortable and spacious. Unlike other common mezzanine studios, this one has lots of windows and thus it is very luminous. This comfortable studio can host 4 people (2 in the bedroom and 2 in the living room – the sofa turns into a nice bed). We provide the sheets, duvets, pillows and towels. The kitchen as a big refrigerator, an oven, a ceramic hob, an extractor, a water boiler, a toaster, plates, cups and cutlery necessary to prepare a nice meal. As we love to experiment and cook with local ingredients when we are abroad, we provide you aromatic/culinary herbs from our garden, national grown herbal teas (in fact their quality was already rewarded), Portuguese olive oil, 2 small Portuguese traditional soaps (that you can choose from the fragrances available) and a bottle of Douro's red wine and coffee
My passion to know different cultures is what moves me, both in my personal and in my professional life! In fact I think that the exchange of cultures – and the necessary confrontation with the difference - has the power to make us better human beings... With this family project I have the chance to continue to know different cultures without moving from the city that I love and know by heart: Porto! Be my guest because I will be delighted to show you our culture!
This apartment is located in a peculiar street of Porto downtown. It is an ancient and narrow street that ends in a small XVIII century chapel told to be designed by the architect Nicolau Nasoni, the same responsible for the Clérigos Tower, one of the ex-libris of this city. The Rua do Pinheiro street preserves mostly of its original aspect. In it you can find old buildings, renewed buildings, an ancient bookbinding shop (one of the last in the city), an immigration support center and a small grocery store. This means that in this street you can find a variety of people: the ancient and typical residents, the new and trendy residents, tourists (the ones hosted in the street and the others that pass by), and the migrants of all parts of the world that search for the services of the immigration center (which ad a colour and a cosmopolitan touch to this old street). On the side of the chapel there are granite stairs that lead to where everything happens after the sunset: restaurants and bars. Nevertheless, Rua do Pinheiro is very calm during the night (with the exception of the 24th June when the city festivities arrive also to this small street).
