São Pedro da Afurada, a charming fishing village in Vila Nova de Gaia, offers a glimpse into Portugal’s maritime heritage. Its whitewashed houses, colourful boats, and open-air seafood grills along the Douro River create a lively yet authentic atmosphere. Strolling through its narrow streets, visitors can experience the warmth of the local fishing community. Nature lovers can explore the Afurada Walkways for scenic river views or visit the Reserva Natural do Estuário do Douro for birdwatching. The village’s public washing house, where locals still do laundry by hand, adds to its unique charm. Whether enjoying fresh seafood or soaking in the riverside ambience, Afurada is a hidden gem worth visiting. The property is easily accessible by public transport and car. The nearest bus station, Chãs (lines 12M, 902, 903, and 907), is just 300 meters walk. Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport is a 15-minute drive from the property. A greeter will meet you at the building for a personal check-in. This property is a self-check-in property, and you will be requested to verify your identity before checking into the property. Check-in can be done from 3 PM, pending availability and confirmation. Once a reservation is confirmed, guests are requested to complete a guest registration form following the legal obligations stipulated by local authorities in Portugal.
