"The property is a luxury accommodation on an estate property three blocks from gorgeous beaches, managed by experts. A car is helpful for visiting Porto but we had a car and used FreeNow and Uber instead because they were cheaper than Porto parking. Everything in the apartment is as advertised and more."

"This estate home feels like you are worlds away from everything with spectacular river views. Yet, you are literally minutes from all the sights in Porto.
Our hosts, Elsa and Philipe, were wonderful. They provided a welcome bottle of Port, along with tasty pastel de natas (look it up if you don't know what they are). They were responsive to our requests and had great recommendations for local dining.
The house was well-equipped, clean and cozy. We happened to come when the weather was still...
"My wife and I enjoyed our stay in Porto.The property was clean and well kept. Bed made everyday. Nice towels. But towels not changed everyday unless requested? Compact and well designed room. Lovely view of the town below. We could see the Douro River from our room. Beautiful sunset sky. Simple but nice breakfast. Very friendly staff. Family run guest house. "
"Great hostel, owner is super nice, knowledgeable and helpful. Place is just a 10 minute walk to the main area of Gaia and Porto, so its quiet, but also convenient. I got a private room in this hostel, but I'm sure a dorm room would've been fine. Free breakfast every morning and owner offers recommendations or engaging conversations about Portugal and Porto. They did my laundry for 10 euros too, which was great. "
"Great place, slightly far from Porto district but the free shuttle provided by the hotel to & back compensates for that. Close to beach, loved the boardwalk to the beach. Both indoor and outdoor pool options. Great breakfast spread, Electric car charging on the property. All in all a great place to stay!! "
