Les chambres sont confortables et l'espace de vie est important ( salon, salle à manger, salon télé, salle de billard, jardinet) il permet à chacun de se sentir à son aise. Elle possède aussi un garage pour 2 voitures. La seule réserve concerne l'unique salle de bains qui pour 7 personnes demande un minimum d'organisation. Expérience unique et dépaysement total. ##### Gilles S. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Charles V. Jul 31, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### typical house in a nice and quiet area We had a very pleasant stay. The house is as you can see in the pictures, not an average holiday home. The furniture in the bedrooms is lovely and antique. As a consequence we found the bed a little uncomfortable to share. We were welcomed by Elói and he provided a lot of useful information about the neighbourhood, places to eat, things to visit etc. The house has a garage which is also nice. The kitchen is great, as is the dining room, the garden and the basement with the pooltable. The salon is a little dark and has a bit of a musty smell. It is a good location to visit Porto and the surroundings. ##### Charles V.
