I had such a fantastic solo-travel experience at this property. I was greeted with so much friendliness (including a lovely port wine), an adequate list of recommendations in Porto, and a clean, quiet room with character. I always felt safe, and really enjoyed being outside the bustle of the tourist areas of Porto. I would absolutely visit again; Obrigato!

We were extremely happy with our stay at Ruby Charms. Miguel went above and beyond to make our stay in Porto memorable with referrals for food and experiences. The treats in the room were also so appreciated and special. The kitchen area in the room and outdoor sitting area were bonus amenities. The area was quiet and close to metro station. Look no further for a great affordable place to stay.

Nice place to stay in Porto.

We stayed for a 7 night break. Ruby Charm rooms are well equipped and comfortable, with an extensive well laid out garden in which to relax after a day’s sightseeing. The area has a some good restaurants and shops close by. Miguel (the proprietor) goes the extra mile for his guests and made us feel at home he is always ready to help. Although Ruby is a little way out from the centre of the city it was not a problem as there are two metro stations in easy walking (5 minutes) distance We enjoyed our stay and would be happy to use again and recommend to other travelers.

Ruby Charm Houses is a peaceful and beautiful retreat tucked away in a quiet corner of Porto. From the moment you arrive, the atmosphere feels calm and restful — a perfect escape from the city’s bustle. The property is spotless, stylish, and exceptionally well cared for, with a lovely private courtyard that feels like your own hidden garden. The location is ideal — close to the metro and just minutes from Porto’s core area, with great restaurants, cafés, and amenities nearby. It’s easy to explore the city and just as easy to relax when you return. What truly makes this place special are the hosts. They’re warm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about Porto, offering great local recommendations and thoughtful hospitality. The welcome treats of fresh bread, orange juice, milk, and other goodies were such a kind touch and made us feel right at home. Ruby Charm Houses perfectly balances comfort, charm, and convenience — a serene stay with every detail thoughtfully designed. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind while staying close to everything Porto has to offer.

Comfortable, funky and unique!

This place was simply amazing. I came to Porto for the Primaverasound festival and the Nations League football and it was my first time in the city. Miguel could not have been more helpful and the place is comfortable, funky, unique and a great place to hideaway and chill out. The local area has a couple of fine restaurants and is very close to the Metro, supermarket and places for coffee and pasteis de data. Perfect.
