We started Tripas-Coração in 2015 with the goal of merging the art of welcome guests in our city with the willingness of being part of the renovation of our patrimony, to be part of the development of the local community and complementing it with a professional and caring way to welcome our guests in Porto. Our company and community strive to provide not only a boutique inspired home but an opportunity to experience living in Porto. All our properties have have been carefully selected by always asking the same question: "Would we live here?". You can see where we are going with this. Our properties are special, they were renovated with care and respect for their original architecture, and furbished with local Portuguese made furniture and linen, decorated harmoniously for our guests to feel comfortable and relaxed. We love to travel, just like you. We are all born and raised in Porto. Even though, we travel constantly, for work or fun..., Porto is where our home is! Our hosts across the world have made our journeys memorable - that hidden square, that restaurant with no English menus, unexpected block parties or that book left on the bedside table. All were inspirations for us to welcome you to your new home in Porto. Come visit us and we will return the favor! Most of the times, Inês, Nia, Liliana or MJ, will be your hosts and will help you with anything you might need.

Check out these rad apartments nestled in a freshly renovated early 20th-century building with 4 floors right in the heart of Porto's historic district. Featuring high wooden ceilings, they embody the traditional charm of Porto's old town and put you within arm's reach of the stunning Virtudes viewpoint. Each apartment hosts up to 2 guests and is equipped with all the amenities necessary for a comfortable stay. We are all about supporting locals, so expect Portuguese-made products like the linen, blankets as well as most of the furniture. Just a heads up, though: there's no elevator in the building. Also, please note that there is no daily housekeeping or front desk, no luggage storage outside check-in/check-out, and no garage, but nearby public parking is available. However, we’re happy to suggest parking options or luggage storage if needed.

The Taipas area is one of Porto’s most authentic and charming corners, quietly tucked between the lively Clérigos Tower and the scenic Virtudes Garden. Staying here means experiencing the very heart of the city, where tradition meets local life. Just around the corner, you’ll find some of Porto’s most iconic sights: the Clérigos Tower, the beautiful Lello Bookstore, and the picturesque Virtudes viewpoint overlooking the Douro River—perfect for sunsets and photos. São Bento Station, Ribeira, and Avenida dos Aliados are all within a short, pleasant walk. The neighborhood has a true local feel, with cobbled streets, tiled façades, and family-run cafés where you can enjoy an espresso like a local. Small wine bars, creative restaurants, and artisan shops fill the surrounding streets, giving you a taste of both historic charm and modern Portuguese life. Peaceful yet central, Taipas is ideal for travelers who want to explore Porto on foot while staying in a neighborhood that captures the city’s warmth, culture, and authentic rhythm.
