“Fazer das tripas coração”
It’s part of the way we work and it’s this level of care, often invisible, that we bring to every stay.
Tripas-Coração was founded in 2015 with the goal of combining the art of hosting with a passion for restoring Porto’s historic heritage. From the very beginning, our focus has been clear: to contribute to the preservation and enhancement of the buildings and neighbourhoods where we operate, while ensuring a professional, structured, and consistent approach to short-term rental management. Every apartment is selected according to one simple principle: “Would we live here ourselves?” The result is a collection of unique homes, carefully restored with respect for their original architecture, functional and authentic, designed to offer comfort consistently over time.
Our Team & Philosophy
We are a local team, born and raised in Porto, passionate about the city and about thoughtful, high-quality tourism. We draw inspiration from our travels around the world, observing what works (and what doesn’t), and applying that understanding to the way we shape each stay — creating unique experiences for our guests. At Tripas-Coração, every stay is personally overseen by Inês, Nia, Liliana or MJ, with the goal not only of welcoming guests, but of ensuring a smooth, coherent, and well-supported experience from beginning to end. We want every guest to feel at home in Porto, with the authenticity and comfort that only locals can truly offer.
The Tripas-Coração Experience
The experience begins long before check-in and continues throughout the entire stay. That’s why every apartment benefits from professional management, ensuring that every detail works seamlessly: housekeeping, maintenance, and guest communication are all consistently monitored so your stay remains comfortable and stress-free.
