Never overdone, we strip out any unnecessary nonsense and focus on everything that matters to you. We want to give you only the best and that is exactly what you will find in our suites. All seven were designed by co-owner and architect Emanuel de Sousa with the help of his sister and also co-owner Patrícia Sousa. Both have chosen a collection of vintage and retro collectibles as well as some stylish modern pieces.
ROSA ET AL Townhouse makes life's choices simple.
Three suite types offered, all with the feel of a contemporary home within an ancient townhouse in the center of Porto, with wooden floors, warm lighting, luxurious natural materials, soaking clawfoot tubs and balconies with garden views and across the city's quarters or over Rua do Rosário. The suites also have original apparent wooden ceiling structures as well as original decorative plasterwork ceilings, including contemporary permanent art commissions.
Every little detail was planned and carefully thought so that you may feel special and unique. From our comfy mattresses and king size beds to our smooth 100 percent cotton sheets, sleep will never be so peaceful. In each suite, there is air conditioning, free WiFi, hairdryer, radio and iPod dock, safety box and a curated minibar with housemade gourmet products and a selection of classics drinks. Furthermore, all suites have exclusive Castelbel Porto amenities.

INTERVIEW
EMANUEL DE SOUSAarchitect and co-owner
When Emanuel was growing up, everyone was convinced he would become an artist of some kind – perhaps a painter, a sculptor or both. Though his parents always supported his creative endeavours, the thought of their son pursuing the highly competitive and unstable path of an artist was a scary one. Suffice it to say, they felt a weight lift off their shoulders when Emanuel eventually decided to follow a career in architecture instead.

What is Emanuel's favorite suite?
A stone's throw away from the main building, it is a refuge within the refuge that the townhouse already is to the city. The townhouse itself is a nineteenth-century stone and wood construction, a bold ominpresent edifice facing this graceful and low profile new steel-frame structure, a lighter more modern and abstract structure, which reflecting facade give us back the garden and the original townhouse.
Behind this mirror facade — a sort of contemporary version of Alice in the Wonderland — a modern space is hidden, with abstract planes of white hues and natural wood and a private patio surrounded with aromas and nature. Without being overly present, it is in fact a fully accessible suite with all contemporary commodities and facilities for everyone, making it very inclusive in itself. With a direct connection to a private patio and to the townhouse garden, the greenery, and our aromatic herbs, plants and flowers, it is surrounded by, what we usually name, 'natural luxury'. It is a calming and relaxing space of light and natural materials, wood flooring and earthy colors. A zen space in the city.
Emanuel de Sousa was interviewed on JULY 2019
