Property info

La Vila Camélia is a charming, quiet and beautifully decorated private hotel, with a flower-filled patio at the front and a garden at the back. Inside, you have access to spacious communal areas, a bright breakfast room and, above all, your rooms. Vila Camélia has four spacious and beautifully decorated Suites. Vila Camélia was completely renovated 3 years ago and is therefore in perfect condition! We also offer a home-cooked breakfast, served every morning between 8am and 9.30am on request and at a cost of 12 euros, with the option of having it in a lounge in our guest house or, weather permitting, outside, in the front patio of the house ! We are a couple, passionate about hospitality and gastronomy, and so we also offer dinners and lunches, made by the French chef Enrico, who will serve you gastronomic and refined cuisine.

Neighborhood info

Vila Camélia is ideally located in Porto, to spend a pleasant, relaxing time in a warm setting and in a residential area, where the locals live.
