Located In the historic center of Porto, the Guest House Rio da Vila has a privileged location in an old building from the 19th century, renovated in 2017 and awarded by the International Design Awards in 2018, where its façade and some elements in its interior were preserved. Its elegant decoration with some elements inspired by the building's history, makes this space fascinating and very welcoming. There are three types of rooms, all of which have a sitting area from where you can enjoy the fantastic view over the city.
