In Porto's iconic Bairro do Silva, Village by BOA transforms a 19th-century neighborhood into a unique, modern retreat across five beautifully restored buildings, blending historical charm with contemporary luxury.
Once a humble working-class enclave, "Bairro do Silva" in Porto's heart has undergone a remarkable metamorphosis. Village by BOA, the inaugural venture of BOA HOTELS, stands as a tribute to the neighborhood's rich legacy. Dating back to the late 19th century, this historic district has been revitalized with 40 luxurious accommodations and commercial spaces, spanning across five buildings. The essence of "Bairro do Silva," however, remains untouched, retaining its soul while enhancing comfort levels.
Porto's "islands," unique housing complexes, set Village by BOA apart. These terraced residences, inspired by British back-to-back houses, exemplify compact urban living. Architects Pablo Pita and Heim Balp Architekten respected this heritage, skillfully rehabilitating these structures without compromising their historical integrity.
Village by BOA thus emerges as a confluence of memory and modernity, offering a serene living experience reminiscent of the past yet brimming with contemporary amenities.
Ingrid Aparicio of Bacana Studio, a close collaborator with BOA Hotels' founders, infused each corner with comfort and style. The decoration and art, highlighting local artists, contribute to a serene, artisanal ambiance. Natural light plays with shadows across neutral colors and textures, bringing the spaces to life. The courtyard, a visual and communal centerpiece, features ancient pots and a striking tree-shaped metal sculpture by Zadok Ben-David, showcasing diverse creative expressions.
Architecturally, Village by BOA is a masterpiece. Pablo Pita Architects maintained the original form of the buildings, using preservation techniques that honor the area's history. The uniform ash-colored hues across the buildings, coupled with signature sculptural steps, make Village by BOA a visually coherent and unique experience. Hugo Carneiro of Mudita Studio's landscape design adds a touch of nature, blending the urban setting with a bucolic charm.
Village by BOA redefines the concept of home for travelers. With accommodation options ranging from Duplexes to Studios and Apartments, guests enjoy spaces tailored for relaxation, cooking, and work. The essence of 5-star boutique hotel service is evident in every aspect, from daily cleaning to live chat concierge services.
Technological advancements ensure privacy and convenience, allowing guests to immerse themselves in a leisurely pace of life. The proximity to the historic Bolhão market and the inclusion of amenities like a fitness center, a local deli, and an F&B partner, enriches the overall guest experience.
The cornerstone of Village by BOA lies in its meticulous attention to aesthetics and comfort. The interiors, predominantly crafted by Bacana Studio, evoke a sense of belonging and tranquility. Custom-designed, Japandi-inspired furniture, made in Portugal, adorns each space. Soft pastels and earthy tones, complemented by natural materials like wood, linen, and rope, create an inviting atmosphere.
