I had an amazing time at Boa Vista the guest house! The other workers were the most lovely women I met and they made me feel like at home! The work is easy and you have a lot of time to explore Porto. Can totally recommend staying there!

The guest house is a lovely the guest house, run by an amazing team of inspiring women, each of which adds their personal touch to ensuring all runs smooth and pleasantly for their guests, staff & volunteers. Flavia, Amanda, Carla, Paula, Antonieta & Gabriela, were welcoming & made learning, easy and fun! the the guest house is pretty, well light with eco-friendly terrace/balcony in which to read, virtually re.connect with friends and family or just enjoy Porto's sky. The room assigned for volunteers has 3 pretty windows with original shutters, than allow to combine privacy or let lovely sunlight in.

If you are looking for a place to stay in Porto, Boa Vista Guesthouse is the perfect choice. The activities are easy and you will have plenty of time to explore the city center, beaches, and nearby towns. The accommodation is very good, although there is noise from the street, so if you have a lighter sleep, think twice. In my case, I followed the house schedule and was able to rest well because there is no noise at night. 😎 Many thanks for Gabriela and team you were very kind and gave me good tips on what to do in the city.

This was my first experience as a volonuteer and I will never forget it! Gabriela and all the team have been really nice during all my stay. Although my level of portuguese was very low, all the team has been very patient to help me practice the language! I really enjoyed helping at the breakfast it was a nice way to know better the team and have some talks with the clients. And of course, Porto is a very nice place to stay, so many things to enjoy and discover!! Merci the the guest house!
