B The Guest

Opposite Mercado do Bolhão, this boutique-chic guesthouse subtly fuses 19th-century architecture and 21st-century design. Splashes of colour and eye-catching fabrics lend warmth to the pared-down interiors. Opt for the front for views or the back for peace. The staff are incredibly friendly and breakfasts generous. The one drawback? There’s no lift and stairs are steep.
