Inspired by the Atlantic’s infinity and conceived to welcome all its guests, Gilreu offers the perfect base for the discovery of nature and the city of Porto.
It is a unique local guest house that epitomises the fusion of history and contemporary design. Located at Foz do Douro, this is the ideal place for na authentic experience that connects you with the city and its people. The house, which has belonged to the same family since it was built, has been revitalised after a thorough refurbishment that hasn’t neglected its origins or the three generations of history behind it. The project was developed by the architect José Carlos Cruz, who preserved the original façade facing Rua da Senhora da Luz and Praia da Luz.
Although it comprises three apartments, it is a project anchored in the contemporary concept of living spaces. From Apartment B, a two-bedroom duplex with a terrace and balcony overlooking the sea, you can enjoy the view of the Gilreu rock, which lent its name to this space. Flat C also expands into a two-bedroom duplex with panoramic sea views. Flat D is a 1+1 bedroom flat with a balcony overlooking the main street.
