The Marquês Garden House is a Singular House located in one of the oldest squares in the city, Praça Marquês de Pombal. The Guest House’s facade is filled from top to bottom with rectangular tiles typical of Porto in the 17th century. XIX.
Upon entering, you will find ceilings worked in noble wood, friezes of vegetal tiles by Bordalo Pinheiro, stone walls and an imposing staircase, decorated with a child bust by Soares dos Reis, the great sculptor of Porto.
Praça do Marquês was once one of the most emblematic and bustling areas of the noble city of Porto. Over the centuries, it has had different names, an example of which is Praça da Água, having also been a trading area, cultivation of agricultural land, passage of troops during the Siege of Porto.
When staying at Marquês Garden House, you will find a garden hidden by the high facade of the building. The old walls surround a rest area, providing relaxed leisure hours in the sun, and you can even enjoy the pool on hot days. A true gem in the center of the city.
The space conveys a sense of well-being, with vintage details winning guests over as soon as they enter.
In the remodeling of the buildings, all the old features that differentiate them were maintained. Noteworthy are the carved ceilings, solid wood doors, arches and wall panels, old fireplaces (now deactivated) and wooden floors.
Every detail was thought out in detail and proof of this is the maximum use of natural light, with the placement of skylights in all possible bathrooms. The different bathrooms respect the historic atmosphere, but offer all the modern amenities that guests are looking for.
The Marquês Garden House consists of 16 rooms, in which each type has unique aspects that distinguish them from one another, so no two rooms are alike. We have rooms overlooking the garden and others overlooking the historic square.
We therefore invite you to spend a few days in this Singular House full of history!
