Traveler reviews
Anna Varendorff
★★★★★4 months agoWe loved exploring this beautiful house and gardens, and the contemporary art exhibitions within the house museum were excellent. It is carefully curated so that we could still appreciate the beauty of the historical house. There is an incredible view of Porto and the gardens include an hedge maze that’s the kids loved.

★★★★★a month agoAmazing discovery, contemporary art exhibitions in a historic villa with beautiful ornaments, completely renovated into an institution with a gorgeous garden. We had a friendly introduction by Miguel Ruge, a young curator, about the history and also the art scene in Porto, and afterwards, a spontaneous talk with the founder Pedro Alvares Ribeiro, about his collection and enthusiasm in art, with some good green wine and 10-year-old port in the garden. An enormous pleasure. Go there ;)
