Our Story
Ribacrinch began when founders Sofia Mendes and James Whitfield discovered that Porto's most breathtaking outdoor spaces were locked behind private doors — unseen by visitors walking the Ribeira. They partnered with local homeowners and boutique hotels to open twelve terrace gardens to guests seeking authentic alfresco experiences.
Today, Ribacrinch is the leading platform for private garden terrace hire in Porto. Every location is personally inspected for safety, accessibility, and botanical character. We handle bookings, catering coordination, and on-site hosting so you can focus on the view.
