After trawling through an endless number of hotels I stumbled across the Casa do Conto guesthouse. The reviews were very encouraging and I booked up. Finding the residence was not straightfoward as there is no sign outside but it added to the excitement. Tito greeted us and sat with us for 20 minutes explaining the 'must do' sights of Porto....

This is a boutique hotel that has a tragic story with a happy ending. The building is a complete rebuild of the original house with a heavy modernist style. The location is a little less central and definitely away from the beaten tourist track (the track is beaten not the tourist). The place is Architectural Digest stylish and the reception... More

It is a delight to stay at this hotel. 'Hidden' from the outside, a real gem on the inside. Evertything is right. The reception is very nice. The welcome is very friendly. The rooms are beautiful and very well equiped. Very nice and original design. Comfortable beds and bathroom!!! We had the suite on the topfloor from wich a huge... More

The service was great, breakfast -very tasty ( they serve fresh orange juice.....mmmmmmmm ), our room was stylish and we had enough space for everything. The bed was extremely comfortable, and bed linen, towels... More

Brilliant award winning design, very comfortable rooms with the right equipments to enjoy your stay, iPod music player, and Nespresso machine.

Tito was wonderful, he helped us find our way around Porto - guided us to sights, buses, the beach and a great restaurant. This hotel was felt like a little discovery in the middle of an otherwise uninteresting neighborhood, and about a 15 minute walk to the heart of the old city as well as a bus ride to the... More

Do not hesitate if you discover this hotel and just book it. The architecture is overwelming and In my opinion the nicest place in Porto. If you are looking for things to do/going out for dinner just ask Tito and your day/evening will be a succes.

Fantastic place to stay. Well designed and chic. On a non descript street but no so far from main sights around porto. Great hosts. Amazingly comfortable beds and linens. Stay here if you want to experience the uber cool design in a totally unique one of a kind hotel.

Casa do Conto is both an amazing architectural statement as well as a comfortable B & B. It's an older building that has been restored with great thought and care. The architect clearly was riffing on Casa da Musica (http://www.casadamusica.com/) in her design. This was the most interesting and unusual place we stayed during our two-week trip to Portugal in...
