Casa Rietsch

The Riad is very beautiful with stunning views. The staff are amazing, very accommodating to everything you need. They even accommodated upon our request of not to clean above our room early in the morning to let us sleep till late. Ham man was excellent.. we even extended our stay for one more day.

We stayed at Casa Rietsch for two weeks and would really recommend it. We decided to stay in Matosinhos (instead of Porto) for the vicinity to the beach. It is a 3 minute walk and the beach is great. A supermarket is also right around the corner. Matosinhos as a city is not really picturesque but has nice corners and tons of (fish-)restaurants. The metro and bus stations are very close and it takes about 30 Minutes to be in the center of Porto. The host at Casa Rietsch is very friendly and helpful. He hangs around at breakfast, gives tips and answers questions. Breakfast itself is basic but was totally sufficient for us to start the day. There are three nice ladies who keep everything very clean and tidy. The beds were really comfortable (which can be an issue sometimes). Our room was small but had a very nice bathroom. For two weeks we had a little too much clothing for the shelf provided as a wardrobe. There are electric bikes to rent which we did for 2 days to cruise along the coast. Altogether, if you want to avoid huge hotels and prefer a cozy and private atmosphere, you are right at Casa Rietsch.

Great communication with property, easy access from airport using public transport. The closeness to the beach is perfect, will definitely use again.

We had a fantastic stay in Casa Rietsch. It is a tastefully refurbished house with gorgeous original features. My bedroom was bright & very comfortable, lovely linen on the bed, a very spacious bathroom and original wooden shutters. The location in Matosinhos is perfect, a couple of blocks from the beach and just around the corner from great fish restaurants. Porto is just a tram ride away. The breakfast is basic but good. Eugenio was a amazing host. We had a fantastic time there and hopefully we'll get to go back!

It was a wonderful surprise. The best place to stay in Matosinhos, near the beach and the best restaurants, supermarket and great cafes at walking distance. Parking available in the street or paid parking a walking distance. Eugenio has also bicycles to rent for a very affordable price. Great breakfast and a really quite place in the center of Matosinhos. We loved it!

Wonderful stay, very friendly staff, great location and clean room. What else could one ask for?
