ROSA ET AL Townhouse
Chez
Emanuel & Patricia de Sousa
In Porto, Emanuel and Patricia de Sousa have transformed a ruined house into a boutique hotel, ROSA ET AL Townhouse, complete with a restaurant, patio, and concept store, and they also attract food lovers with a brunch that has become a true institution.
Brother and sister Emanuel and Patricia de Sousa opened Porto ROSA ET AL Townhouse, the hotel they dreamed of when they were traveling in another life. They stumbled upon this house, which was large but in ruins, quite by chance. No problem, Emanuel is an architect and immediately saw its potential. Patricia, meanwhile, with a certain budget from her previous life in finance, didn't hesitate either. In 2012, they opened this charming little hotel where you feel like you're in a cocoon, with everything you need: a restaurant, a patio, a concept store. And even if you don't stay there, you should definitely go for brunch, as they have made this weekend meal their specialty. They have also opened the Cedofeita café in the neighborhood and published a book in which they share their best recipes.
3 good reasons to go
