Cale Guest House
A stay at Cale Guest House rewards the traveller with a glass of Port and a pastel de nata pressed into your hands on arrival by the attentive staff, a breakfast of homemade yoghurt, soft-boiled eggs, and freshly squeezed orange juice served in the intimate lobby, and rooms in a beautifully restored historic building whose spiral staircase and terrace views over Porto's rooftops give the whole place the feel of a well-loved family home rather than a hotel.
