Arco Apartments is a true gem in Porto. The location is fantastic, right by the old city in a unique historic Arc and stairs. While the stairs can be a bit challenging, there’s a wonderful wine bar next door that makes for a perfect pause. The apartment itself is beautifully designed, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with everything needed in the kitchen. The cute patio was a lovely bonus. A perfect blend of charm, style, and convenience. Highly recommended.

Great stay.

Really enjoyed our stay here. The apartment is spacious, clean, well equipped, has character/history and is in a great location near the cathedral (Se in Portuguese). Would definitely stay here again. Nilde and Gabriel were extremely helpful both before arrival and on arrival. Just be aware that you need to navigate some steps to get to the apartment - but it's worth it!

Loved this apartment! Great location (although it is down lots of steps, so keep this in mind when carrying luggage)close to the Se Porto. We were doing the Portuguese Camino so we appreciated being so close to the starting point. Great communication from the manager who met us on the day with the key and information we needed. Comfy bed, great facilities. Would highly recommend!

Arco Apartment Cantana was truly a hidden gem. This apartment had everything in the kitchen you could need especially wine glasses! Even a little outside patio to enjoy our Portuguese wine.Located behind the cathedral where most tours depart was ideal. Area very safe,walking distance to restaurants and across the Dom Luis bridge. Communication via WhatsApp quick and even sent a video of where to find Arco once at the cathedral. Met by Leonilde on time and answered questions and sent names of places we had asked about. Definitely better than a sterile hotel chain annd much larger, so happy we found Arco Apratments.Highly recommend if steps are not an issue.

Great room with great accomodations. Coffee machine, fridge, very generous shower, etc. Service was also great with a welcoming and informative host eager to share about her city. However, must note that apartment is located on stairs, so there was a lot of going up and down which may tire more than desired.

Not for anyone who has mobility challenges.

Very convenient location, however, please note that the hotel can only be accessed via stone stairs from the main Porto Cathedral. Therefore, this would not be suitable for elderly or mobility-challenged people. There are also many flights of stairs to get down to the restaurant promenade beside the Douro River. As long as you are reasonably fit, the comfortable.

Amazing location for a long weekend

The location is excellent for sight seeing as the property is very near the Don Louis bridge. The access is via a lot of steps. Quite difficult to find but we were met at the Cathedral and shown the way. I would recommend booking the taxi through the owners as it is cheaper than the airport taxis and they know where to drop you. The apartment is small but well designed and equipped. Our one complaint was that the television did not work and no one came to fix it.

I liked everything about it. It was so convenient and accessible. Located in the middle of a historical region and near restaurants, it offered an amazing view of the bridge and was very clean. Everything was awesome. Just a heads up: it is far from the street, and you need to walk all the way with your luggage and take it up and down the stairs. That is the only negative point for this apartment.
