The property has an abundance of character and charm. It is the product of obvious passion and hard work as the old building has been uplifted to become a comfy, modern sanctuary. It’s homey, contemporary and functional. It’s close to many important sights to see. 10/10 would recommend this stay and cannot wait to be back. Also a great value.

We had a wonderful time in Utopian 33 Rua Ceuta. It is top-especially the incredible roof terrace!! The host had given us many tips for restaurants, which we used and were enthusiastic. My husband celebrated this 40th birthday and as a surprise we had received a cake for him. Very lovable and accommodating. Everything perfect. We recommend this place. Many thanks for everything!

The Utopian guest house was an amazing hidden gem which uplifted my journey in Porto. Clean, aesthetic, functional and cozy. The design of the rooms alone is worth a stay.

We were so lucky to find this place free when we wanted to book 3 nights in Porto. The terrace is huge and so lovely to have the sun beds, which we used every afternoon after traipsing the city and getting worn out with the hills! The location is great, we parked one block away and around the apartment tons of lovely places for breakfast and cool small restaurants and bars. Bed was comfy and large walk-in bathroom with a lovely area for wardrobes/ doing hair & make up. The host was very friendly and helpful and was available for any questions and very quick to provide feedback. Thank you, was fab and we loved Porto.

We absolutely loved our stay! Check in was very smooth with our host who was so accommodating and helpful. Everything from the décor of the place to the Nespresso machine to the towels and sheets was top notch! The views are amazing and the location is perfectly situated in the middle of the best part of Porto, easy walking distance to everything you want to see. Plus the place smells delightful and was extremely clean. We will definitely be back in the summer!

The perfect base to explore Porto for a short stay- if you don’t want to be in the middle of the hustle, but still be in a short walking distance to all the sites and downtown area. Beautifully decorated room and spotless. The snack basket, the book shelves and the extremely comfortable bed give it the special touch that make it feel like a boutique stay.

Andrea (United Arab Emirates)

Airbnb

What a special place. The amenities are outstanding, and the décor shows such attention to detail and creativity. From the art, books, food box, cleaning service and highly responsive staff, it’s clear the host has done their utmost to make this feel like a home away from home, but perhaps with more flair. Will definitely come back.

We had the best time in this lovely apartment. The apartment is stylish, big, clean, with a huge terrace, the most comfortable beds and all of this in the middle of the city! This is a rare find. It was not our first time in Porto, but we still got plenty of good recommendations for food and other activities that we were happy to try. The host gave us a warm welcome and was very helpful. Overall I can only give this 10/10! We will for sure come back.

Anja (Switzerland)

Pros: Quiet, immaculately clean and very stylish. All entrances fitted with keypad instead of lock & key-safety is paramount when travelling alone. Great location, easy to book, easy communication with manager. Wifi & Aircon was a godsend! Cons: having to leave!

The apartment is a dream, it is the perfect ambience at the right location. Just take the elevator down and you are in the middle of life. Four floors up, you live in your own little paradise. Highly recommended! And thanks to the friendly hosts!
