A few things we love, and a few people we'd like you to meet.
Porto has always felt to us like a city that leaves room for everyone.
Creative, open-minded and refreshingly unselfconscious, it is a place we have come to know - and love - in our own way.
Casa Cedo is an inclusive, LGBTQ+ friendly house, but we don't really think of that as a feature. It's simply part of how we welcome people.
Here it's a collection of places we like, people we know, and a few suggestions for enjoying the city - whether you're here for a weekend, a celebration, or simply to disappear for a while.
We have been coming to Porto for years in Porto, so this is a very personal list. Some places are explicitly LGBTQ+, many aren't. They are simply places where we feel at home and think you might too.
Things change, new places appear and old favourites disappear. Ask us when you're here - we will always have a few ideas.
Start with Cedofeita. It is our neighbourhood and still one of our favourite parts of Porto - galleries, independent shops, cafés and plenty of places to stop without having planned to.
Wander towards Miguel Bombarda and down towards Praça de Carlos Alberto and Rua Das Oliveiras. There is no need for a strict itinerary. Much of the city's LGBTQ+ nightlife is around this part of town too, so an afternoon wandering can quite easily become an evening out.
Porto is particularly good at the unplanned drink - an afternoon glass of wine that somehow becomes an evening.
Aduela has a special place in our hearts. Easy, lively and wonderfully unpretentious, it has been the setting for more than a few happy Casa Cedo moments.
Kiosk is small, relaxed and sociable, and a good place to see where the evening takes you.
Base is all grass, trees and people beneath Clérigos - particularly lovely as the afternoon turns into evening.
Bosco is another favourite: a stylish garden, a good-looking local crowd and an aperitivo that quite often makes you stay longer than intended.
Porto isn't a city that needs much encouragement to stay out. The LGBTQ+ scene is small, mixed and scattered around the centre - which rather suits the city.
Café Lusitano is an institution: theatrical, slightly old-school and unmistakably Porto. Go late - going early rather misses the point.
Porto has a quietly creative side that we love. Around Miguel Bombarda, galleries, studios and independent shops come and go - wander rather than plan too much.
If you happen to be here for one of the Miguel Bombarda simultaneous openings, even better. Galleries open their new exhibitions together and the neighbourhood spills out onto the street.
Serralves is the exception to our no-planning rule. The museum, its Art Deco villa and the gardens are among our favourite places in Porto. Give it a few hours, and don't go just for the exhibition.
Praia da Luz is one of our Sunday rituals: a long lunch overlooking the ocean, a bottle that somehow becomes two, and a dip in the sea afterwards. We've been coming here for years with friends and family, and many happy memories have started - or ended - at one of its tables.
Zephyr is another warm day favourite: a beautiful beach club by the sea, with seriously good food - and, on a sunny day, the beach provides some rather good people-watching too.
Casa Cedo is a house for everyone. Whoever you love, however you love, and whatever brings you together, you are not simply welcome here - we are happy to celebrate it with you.
If you're coming to Porto for a special celebration of love, tell us. We might add flowers, open a bottle, arrange dinner in the garden or leave a little surprise in your room. Nothing too prescribed - just something from us to you.
And sometimes love needs the whole house. Take all eight rooms and make Casa Cedo your own for a few days. Start with a welcome drink in the flower shop, then let the celebration unfold through the house - the garden, the workshop, the terraces and all the little corners in between. Fill it with the people you love and we'll help you make it yours.
Love is love. Whoever you are, ours is a house where it should always feel at home.
Porto is an easy and welcoming city, and we have always felt comfortable being ourselves here. There isn't really a defined LGBTQ+ neighbourhood; the scene is small, mixed and woven into the city, which is part of its charm.
Pride brings a little more colour to Porto each summer, alongside parties and events throughout the year. Ask us what's happening while you're here - we usually have an idea, and if we don't, we know someone who will.
