writings from our amazing armenian guests


Laure
Casa das Virtudes, or one of the loveliest weekends of my lives. Dear readers, let me share with you a recipe for perfect happiness: get together 6 friends and rent out the Casa for 4 or 5 nights. Enjoy the clean and crisp look and all its amenities. And by that I mean: enjoy the beautiful view from the ROOF! Please don't fall off, though, because then you would miss meeting Ana. She will be your neighbor, the best neighbor you could possibly have. Sing in the cobbled streets of Porto, enjoy the purity of your exchanges with the locals and have a good night's sleep in this inspiring, simple space.

Maral, Shushan, Vahan, Sipana, Sevana, Laure were the first armenian guests of Casa das Virtudes. They came from Paris and New York. Together we discovered hidden treasures of my city, the orange trees, the speaking crow with no wings in a surprising neighborhood near feira da Vandoma, the broas de mel (delicious cakes made with leftovers), the restaurant O Rei dos Galos, whose lady owner had received a postcard from Obama...and we sang everywhere, everywhere!, rising our voices to the sky!
