What a truly exceptional experience we had at lunch. The service was on point, the place overall charming and the food was outstanding. The dishes were so creative, you almost did not want to eat them. The food was a treat for your eyes and your mouth. Have been here many times and can not wait to come back again!

A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY AFFAIR. From the moment they open the door to welcome you to the time that you leave this beautiful place, you can experience passion, heart and dedication. The menu is preset, prepared with local and seasonal ingredients creatively combined in a beautiful presentation and delicious flavors. The restaurant is welcoming and cozy with an unassuming yet elegant set. There is a beautiful garden and a private room ready to be used as needed or requested. Last but no least the service and attention are incredible, with a great harmony on every dish served and great attention to detail. Overall a highly recommended experience that will for sure repeat and share with friends in the near future.

We went to Vila Camélia for dinner last night and had a fabulous experience. First, the family welcomes you in a very friendly and personalised way when you enter the very nicely decorated house, secondly the atmosphere is relaxing, charming and very cozy. Then, service was fantastic, with a French touch, great information about local wines available with dinner. The chef did an amazing job, serving a 4 courses dinner, with fresh local products and prepared with passion and a lot of experience for sure. Simply delicious! You can’t go wrong, and every dish is a experience! I would definitely recommend Vila Camélia, and if you want to stay in the beautiful house with garden, close to everything, there are rooms available as well. Will certainly come back soon. It is the place to stay in Porto.

This boutique bed and breakfast restaurant is not officially opened to the public just yet but you can contact the owners via their website and they will try to accommodate you. I have been to this family owned bnb/restaurant 4 times now this year. Each vist has been an exquisite culinary adventure. The family makes you feel at home in this simple yet elegant establishment. The menu changes daily and it is fixed price chef whim. When making reservation just let them know if you have any food allergies or foods you do not eat. I like this place so much that I decided to celebrate my 69th birthday with my family there. Highly recommended!

We were lucky enough to dine at Vila Camelia on the first night that their restaurant was open to the public. The tasting menu was fantastic. Perfectly cooked duck was the highlight for us, which paired beautifully with a bottle of Chateauneuf du Pape. The service was very welcoming, attentive and caring. We had really nice conversations with the whole family behind Vila Camelia. Really kind people. Highly recommended.

This is a venue that I will search for each time I return to Porto. A family operation featuring a constantly shifting French menu. Anchored by the vision and talent from a renown chef, the chef- choice menu was fantastic for each of the 6 items we had. In addition, this venue would be a great place for special gatherings and occasions as this is also a BnB! But be sure to book early. Thanks to the hosts for helping us celebrate a milestone birthday. See you next visit!

On my last day in Porto I was looking to find find something different. I found this slightly hidden and intimate address with a very pleasant welcome, where we were surprised by the quality of the dinner. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Porto, and we'll opt to stay there as they also offer bed and breakfast in a beautiful guest house. I highly recommend it.

I had a wonderful experience at Vila Camelia, the Lestuzzi family's charming restaurant. The warm and welcoming atmosphere, coupled with top-notch service, made my visit truly enjoyable. And let's not forget the food – it was absolutely fantastic! This place is a gem for families and anyone looking for a delightful dining experience. Highly recommended!

When deciding where to stay in Porto, I discovered Vila Camelia through Porto and North of Portugal - Tips for Travellers. I was a little wary at first as there were no reviews, but after looking at pictures and speaking with Enzo Lestuzzi, we booked it. They had only been open for a few months, hence no reviews. It did not disappoint!!! The newly renovated guest suites and restaurant are run by the Lestuzzi family, Enrique who was a Michelen chef in France, along with his wife Manuela, and their two sons, Enzo and Hugo. The rooms were quiet, spacious, beautifully appointed, and immaculate. One room that accommodated a king and a twin-sized bed had a delightful sitting area with a bank of windows. The other room, located on the second floor, had a king-size bed and a terrace overlooking a beautiful garden area. (You must be able to climb stairs to the suites). Breakfast was included, which included a delicious variety of homemade jams, yogurt, breads, freshly squeezed juices, and locally sourced meats, cheeses, and fruits. They also have lunches or dinners available for guests or private parties. We had dinner there once to celebrate my birthday, and were given a four course meal - appetizers, a first course, an entree, and dessert, along with a delicious wine from the Douro Valley. The meal was delicious!! Vila Camelia is located an easy 20 minute walk from the city center, but in a beautiful residential area where all of the restaurants are local, where some of the servers do not speak English but are very friendly, and the food is delicious. We highly recommend Vila Camelia when in Porto. The Lestuzzi made us feel so welcomed, and we were very sad to leave. We will definitely stay here again if we get back to Porto.
