The city of Matosinhos is located in the north of the Porto district, in Portugal, bordering Porto to the south. Situated approximately 8 km from Porto's historic city centre, Matosinhos was for many years an important fishing town with strong ties to the sea and port activity.
The need to create a safe harbour for the large vessels serving the city of Porto led, in the late 19th century, to the construction of the Port of Leixões. This new urban and industrial landmark drove a decisive process of development in Matosinhos, where sardine fishing and the canning industry played a fundamental role for several decades.
It is in this historic context that Harbour Inn Design Townhouse was born — conveniently located opposite the Leixões Cruise Terminal, steps from the beach and just minutes from Porto city centre. A building that, over time, served as a private residence and a restaurant, forming part of the memory and local life of the city.
Today, Harbour Inn offers a welcoming experience where every detail has been carefully considered to provide tranquility, comfort and a genuine connection to the authentic atmosphere of Matosinhos.
