Unique Manor House
in the heart of Porto
The historic manor house CASA CAMÉLIA is situated in the heart of Porto, only a short walk from the river Douro and Porto’s main sights, bars and restaurants.
The house dates back to the 18th century and has been a place of significant importance to the city ever since. Behind the house, hidden from the street, lies a romantic and vast private garden with a small forest of beautiful Camélia trees. The name of the house is not only in honor of these amazing flowering trees but also to the city of Porto, which is also called “The city of Camélias”.
In 2020, the house and its garden have been completely renovated and opened by the end of autumn 2021 to welcome guests from all around the world.
