Discover the Enchanting City of Porto and Stay at Ruby Charm Houses

Experience the authentic charm of Porto by staying at Ruby Charm Houses, a unique retreat that combines tradition, history, and hospitality.

Established in 2015 by a visionary mother-and-son duo, this project was born out of a desire to preserve and revitalize an authentic slice of the city: the picturesque "Ilha Cardoso," a cluster of 14 traditional houses. With a thoughtful and sensitive approach, the duo restored the neighbourhood, ensuring that the four families who originally lived there could continue to call it home, now with improved living conditions.

The remaining houses were carefully transformed into tourist accommodations, alojamento local, offering visitors a truly immersive cultural experience.

Staying at Ruby Charm Houses, guests have the chance to connect with other travelers as well as long-time residents, experiencing the genuine essence of Porto’s "ilhas." This is a place where the past and present intertwine, creating unforgettable memories for everyone who visits.
