Casa do Conto

Porto’s Casa do Conto or ‘house of tales’ certainly has enough to tell: writings from famed typographers are etched into its ceilings, and a whole new style language after years of renovations, following a fire that gutted the building. What rose again was a six-bedroom city escape with Azulejo-tiled exteriors hinting at its former bourgeoisie building, but starkly stylish Brutalist interiors in muted tones and burnished concrete – a look that reflects the city’s modern mindset, even if you are in the historic centre. Modish interiors aren’t the only thing for art-fiends to feed on – the hotel hosts exhibitions where local talents can display their work. Just one of the ways in which the Casa’s penning a whole new story.

Casa do Conto is just outside Porto’s Historic Centre, off the city’s famed Rotunda da Boavista.
