Casa no Cais - Asna

Welcome to Casa no Cais, a place to slow down, in the heart of the quayside in Vila Nova de Gaia. Casa no Cais is a bourgeois house that is hundreds of years old. Countless people, seasons and innovations have passed through it. Every detail holds the memory of the lives it has already contained. Let yourself be impressed by the solidity of the stone walls, the creaking of the wooden structure, the grandeur of the original staircase, illuminated by the majestic skylight. Or by the railings of the balconies or the ruins of the back courtyard.
