Casa Bela

Ariana did a very nice job of decorating. The master bedroom is large and the bed is comfortable. Casa Bela is located in a quieter area of Porto, but just a few minutes on the bus or taxi to the old town. We found several good restaurants within just a few minutes walk.

fantastic in every way!

We had a wonderful stay at this historic and beautiful apartment! Arianna was an incredible host who was so helpful, thoughtful and accommodating. She also helped with many great suggestions for Porto first timers. The neighborhood was perfect for what we were looking for and gave us a good feel for what it feels like to be a local! We did walk into Porto and it was a fun journey. I hope to be back to explore more--thank you for a delightful stay!

Beautiful apartment!

We had a great time visiting the area. The apartment is close to the water, supermarkets, and lots of nice restaurants. Ariana was a gracious host-provided everything we needed, including some nice snacks. The apartment is small but has large windows and lots of mirrors, and a great use of the space making it seem much larger. We were a group of four women and there was plenty of space for all of us! It is also decorated and furnished beautifully! We are so glad we chose to get out to a beautiful, quiet area of Porto.

It is a very clean and comfortable apartment in an area that is convenient to walk to the beach or catch a bus or tram into the city.Ariana is a very helpful host and we had everything we needed for a self catered stay. We also ate at Pragar the restaurant at the bottom of the road and the food was very good. We had a very enjoyable stay in Porto and will come again!

Our Second Stay

We love this property. The host, Ariana, is delightful and responsive. This is our second time staying here. We like the neighborhood (not so many tourists), the easy access to public transport, closeness to the beach and river, an artisanal bakery and organic food store nearby. Very charming and tasteful decor. What more can we say?

Porto is Awesome and so is Ariana

Literally will not stay anywhere else when we are in Porto, we just hated to leave. Ariana, our hostess, is just awesome and made us feel like family. Perfect location, perfect place, perfect stay. Only thing that was wrong is we had to leave . . . already planning our next trip back, but ONLY if we can stay in the same place again. Loved it! Cynthia and Allison

Casa Bela, Foz Porto

This property was perfect for two couples, king size beds and lots of space. Amazing ceiling height, interesting architecture, and perfectly furnished for the space. While outside the downtown core (good for restful sleeps), a scenic tram, within easywalking distance, takes one right there. A small grocer is one block away, and the restaurant 5 doors down is well worth trying. Our host Ariana was very informative. All in all, an excellent experience!

Ariana is an exceptionally considerate host. I think that is why she gets 10/10 all the time. Her apartment is 100 years old but has been well kept. It is a classic early 1900s style reminiscent of much of Europe. Tall ceilings, big french doors etc. The second exceptional thing is that it is in a marvelous location of older porto, more quiet yet accessible to the river promenade, many wonderful restaurants etc. It is fortunately relatively distant from he downtown tourist crowd. There is a beautiful park next door, excellent for walking. The top 3 necessities ie. Bed, airconditioning and shower were 10/10. The shower is a tight fit for a larger person. Ariana was very responsive to any small issues. Definitely a good value. Perhaps the best thing was her referral for us to a car/driver service that allowed us to travel privately at reasonable cost around northern Portugal. He was amazing.

Super location, away from the crowds

Great little apartment, with a wonderful master bedroom complete with balcony, period features, and high ceilings. Situated in a shaded, typical Portuguese side street with plenty of character. The location is great - the Jardim do Passeio Alegre is a the bottom of the street, where there are two crazy golf courses, music, a café, and market stalls of food and crafts. My kids also spent a lot of time in the old-fashioned pursuit(!) of climbing trees. Foz has three shingle beaches, which are fine for sunbathing or paddling, but if you want a sandy beach, Matosinhos is only 3km up the coast. Its €2 on the 500 bus, or €4-5 in an Uber. We went there every other day. One day we hired bikes from Dourobike and cycled up there along the coast (cycle route the whole way). Then we cycled round the majestic Parque da Cidade. In Foz there are plenty of restaurants and grocery stores. The walk along the esplanade at the bottom of the Jardim do Passeio Alegre is glorious. For a trip into Porto centre, take the 500 bus (the other way), the vintage no. 1 tram (€3.50), or an Uber (€9-11). Ariana was a great host, answering my questions and giving good tips. The apartment had everything we needed (although an extra frying plan would be good), including a coffee machine. The second bedroom was a little dark, due to the natural light coming through the door from the next room, but it's only used for sleeping anyway. The master room has a day bed and a large rug, so we chilled in there or the lounge. Wifi was good. All in all, a great stay.

A jewel in the crown

This is an old authentic building so you can expect some creaky floors but these are part of the charm. Architectural features are highlighted. Ariana was a great host, very responsive. Super location with a small grocery and bakery around the corner and a wonderful wine store.

Best VBRO experience I’ve ever had!

We had a excellent stay at Casa Bela. It was indeed beautiful with lots of historic charm and thoughtful details inside the apartment. It was spacious, comfortable and very clean. The location was excellent: beautiful neighborhood, near shops, park, river, pier and ocean. Ariana was a gracious and amazingly helpful host. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Perfect Property

Of all the properties that we have stayed in throughout Europe, this one is at the top of the list. We used this apartment as our base of operations for a month. The apartment is a tasteful mix of antiques and modern simplicity, with a historic ambiance. We appreciated the high quality linens, modern appliances, and well equipped kitchen and tableware. The location is great, with nice food markets, an incredible artisanal bakery, boutiques, a park and the beach just minutes away. Mass transit is also easily accessible and we found the Porto mass transit system to be very safe and clean, much better than in the U.S. Ride sharing was also easily accessed. The neighborhood in general is upscale, and occupied by Portuguese residents, not a touristy enclave. Our landlady, Ariana, was charming and responsive. We hope to return next year. Our stay exceeded all expectations.

Lovely apartment and fantastic host

We had a wonderful stay in Porto. Ariana is the perfect host and her apartment is so pretty and comfortable. It is much larger than we expected . We loved the neighborhood and it was super easy and fun to get to the center of town on electric scooters There is a little supermarket a few steps away that provides all we needed. The beautiful park next to the apartment is very peaceful and you can walk to see the sunset in the evening Do not hesitate to stay in Ariana’s place it will be one of the highlights of your trip to Porto.
