Casa Formosa is clean, charming and perfectly located for exploring Porto. Our hosts were super friendly, helpful and inspiring (creative people who gave us GREAT tips for exploring the city). I cannot imagine staying anywhere else in Porto (we've already stayed with them twice) and can't wait to go back. Porto is one of my favourite cities and our accommodation... More

Staying at Casa Formosa was one of the highlights of my Portugal trip. Joao is a natural host and made me feel right at home. The B&B is perfectly located in the old city center, near markets and great little shops, and is tastefully decorated. I very much enjoyed my stay there and would love to go back someday.

We stayed at Casa Formosa every time we visited our daughter who was studying in Porto. What a find! It made all the difference to our trips to the lovely city of Porto. Not only are the bedrooms spacious and light and airy, but there is a comfortable dining-sitting room, 2 terraces to sit outside and a lovely fully equipped... More

If you are looking for a true B&B experience and not just a room, this is a perfect solution. We only met Sara briefly but Joao turned up every morning with fresh bread or something else from the bakery for breakfast. The ktichen is fitted out well and the breakfast provisions provided make this exceptionally good value. The room is... More

Unbeatable location, immaculately clean apartment, super friendly hosts, and very professionally run. We only had one night in Porto but the host was wonderfully accommodating, greeting us on arrival and giving us a great overview of how to get the most from less than 24 hours in the city. I would absolutely recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Porto.

My husband and I stayed here in May 2011. The directions given from the airport were spot on and we had someone waiting for us at the apartment to greet us. The location is amazing and the rooms very spacious and clean. We would 110% stay here again!!
