Travel is life ! I love to meet people and help them discover the amazing places I am lucky enough to call home in Portugal, Malta and the UK. Maybe you will do as I did in 2009 and give up your old life to make one of these magical places home... When travelling, I believe that paying to stay in a place is a real treat, and when you do so the very least that you should expect is for it to be as comfortable and clean as your own home, or hopefully even better. For me, that means spaces that not only look amazing, but also cover the basics that are so often missing in holiday properties such as huge beds with fine linens and 100% blackout for a great nights sleep, plus Air Conditioning and Luxury amenities. It's these simple luxuries that I make sure to provide for my guests when I am hosting too.

Bienvenue Chez Vous - Welcome to your Home in Porto. In 2008, Andre and Brigitte discovered the ruin that stole their hearts. Some 5 years of loving restoration later, they opened Canto De Luz, our luxury Maison. In 2019 they retired and I have taken La Maison in to my hands to build on the amazing reputation they have built with over 350 5* star reviews and Traveller's choice 2019 property. Hiding behind the traditional facade of an elegant merchant townhouse in the centre of the Old Town is a beautiful soaring modern atrium that welcomes you, our friends and guests, to your home from home here in Porto. Our breakfast is included in your rate and served at your table. The menu, which changes daily, is homemade and wherever possible organic, using freshly sourced local ingredients from Porto's markets. We also provide a team of housekeepers who provide daily room servicing and cleaning so you can just enjoy Porto. Our passion for Porto has been matched by the discovery that we love meeting people from all over the world, and many of our guests have become friends who come and stay again and again. I would love you to become one too. À bientôt

Porto soothes the soul. The second city to Lisbon, its completely different in style and vibe. The rich history of the city is woven in to everything you come across, from the food, the wine, the docks and commerce and even its people. It’s the kind of city where people come for a weekend and stay a lifetime. Edgy yet opulent, the city has art on every corner, from galleries and museums to street art to edgy modern art and graffiti installations, each telling the story of a different time and slice of Porto living. Canto De Luz is perfectly situated in the heart of the old town, set back from the main streets to enable the peace and tranquillity that we have become famous for, and yet accessible to the key locations and sights within just a couple of minutes walk.
