Casa do Conto
Cedofeita, Santo Ildefonso, Se, Miragaia, Sao Nicolau e Vitoria, Porto
MICHELIN Guide
“With its minimalist urban interiors, it’s hard to imagine that Casa do Conto was originally a private 19th century residence.”
Vibe

“Poetic concrete townhouse”

Rooms
Concrete ceilings are carved with bas-relief literary texts, framing cubic bathroom pods and balconies overlooking terracotta rooftops.
Backstory
Days before its 2009 opening, a fire gutted the townhouse, prompting atelier Pedra Líquida to rebuild using textured fossil concrete.
Eat & drink
Freshly prepared breakfast is served in the dining room, which opens onto a secluded sit-out garden and terrace.
The neighborhood
Tucked along residential Rua da Boavista, the townhouse sits in Cedofeita, Porto's gallery district lined with studios and cafes.
