A sumptuous home from home located in one of Porto's most exclusive areas
Despite being Portugal’s second city, and capital of the north, there remains a lack of truly charming hotels in Porto. We were therefore delighted to have found the Casa do Poema during our travels. In truth, the small and exquisitely decorated Casa do Poema is more of a sophisticated home from home than a hotel, what with its abundance of valuable antique pieces, tapestries and 7 sumptuously decorated rooms. There is even a grand piano for guests to use. Yet from the outside you don’t get any inkling of what to expect. True, the building was designed by a famous Portuguese architect in the 1950’s with, what was for the time, a futurist look, and it is set on a lovely street off the famous Boavista Avenue (traditionally the abode of the wealthy – please note this location is some 15 minutes from the city centre), but as soon as you set foot inside, it’s like entering an eclectic museum. Modern sculptures vie with traditional antique pieces for your attention and you almost feel as if you should pay a ticket to view the permanent collection. But don’t worry, the “exposition” comes free with the nights stay; just make sure you don’t knock over any of the exhibits. Bedrooms continue in this same vein, sumptuous, deliciously decorated and classy. Looking through the large French windows you will see the small well kept garden and from the upper floors the ocean as well (in Portugal it seems you are never far away from the sea). Add to this some of the cultural offers nearby, including the world class Fundação de Serralves and Casa da Música and it all makes for a truly refreshing stay.
