At B28 Apartments we could give you quite a few reasons (28 to be more exact) to choose this location for your stay at the historical chore of Porto. But we decided to focus on one simple and straightforward philosophy: this is a home away from home, a small gift to the city that gave us so much when we were growing up as kids and running through its maze of streets with curious eyes and absolute freedom. We found the building as grown-ups but decided to maintain it as it was, a magical gateway to the old Jewish quarter and at the epicentre of the arts and crafts neighbourhood which still makes Porto a whimsical destination to this day. It took a few years to restore the building. But as every work of love proves, when we opened our doors for the first time it was as if nothing had changed and memories had left their imprint on every single angle. We took the same steps up and down our staircase, a true architectural marvel, as new and old generations had done before. Welcome home, today as yesterday, as it was and should be.

B28 is located in a typical bourgeois building from Porto in the town´s historic centre, which is classified as World Heritage by UNESCO. In the past, this used to be the old jewish part of porto (Judiaria / Portas do Olival). The building’s construction started on the 16th century, however it got expanded in the 19th century. The central spiral staircase and the “lanternin” (skylight), that brings light to the whole building,the detailed ornate ceilings are clear marks of that time period’s architecture. This building also has a beautiful inner patio, that ventilates and illuminates the rear apartments from the 1st and 2nd floor. The rehabilitation process was taken with extreme care, not to damage the building’s structure and its ancestral characteristics. We don´t have lift in the building. The main goal was to create modern housing conditions without destroying the building’s unique characteristics. Our main purpose is to provide our clients with an unique experience.
