Accommodation was perfect with everything you need. Very good shower and nice pool for relaxing by. Joaquin was a great host and ensured we had everything we needed even organising g a tour for us.
A little piece of paradise just outside Porto! We really enjoyed our stay. Property was well equipped and clean. Grounds were fantastic with lovely pool and gardens. Easy/cheap uber into Porto and free parking available as we drove up from Lisbon and did a day trip to Douro valley. Our host Joao was amazing and a pleasure to deal with before and during the trip. Would definitely return!
Great house with everything you need! The kitchen is spacious and has everything you need! The house was very clean. Great outside area, lovely swimming pool! Location was perfect, so close to the beach and 20 min per bike to Porto (15 min Uber). The host Joaquim was very hospitable, taking very good care of us, and helping with everything we needed!
Beautiful Oasis 5 minutes from beach and promenade
This is a beautiful property. It's tucked away with lots of green space and privacy, very close to a gorgeous and endless beach and a wonderful promenade that stretches for miles dotted by restaurants and cafes. Joaquim is a wonderful host. He really takes pride and treats wonderfully.
Joaquim and his wife Rosalina were truly magnificent hosts. The property was more than expected. the house is in walking distance to the beach with off street parking for beginners. The owner left his own olive oil and port wine both were delicious. There is a private pool if the beach is chilly you can swim her. It was great to have the space in this wonderful house.
Our host Joaquim was very nice and accommodating. The house and grounds were immaculate. It was wonderful to have access to onsite laundry. It is about a three minute walk to the beach and boardwalk. We rented a car so access was very easy into Porto. There is a local bus stop right next to the property. We would absolutely stay at this location again.
We had a wonderful stay here. The location is great, just a short walk from the ocean boardwalk. It was by far the best equipped kitchen and laundry of all of the places we stayed. The host was excellent and responded very quickly to any questions we had. The pool and property is lively and great for a day of rest between adventures
Joaquim was an informative and pleasant host. He greeted us with a plethora of local information and advice, as well as some lovely port wine that he had produced. The property had everything we needed.
A charming host, who helped us get situated and recommended restaurants in this property that is an oasis, within the city of Gaia was nothing short of a delight! Walking along the sea on the Promenade was great fun. And you are just a short Uber away from historic Porto.
Our host Joaquin has carved out a wonderful oasis in the middle of a city. The grounds are full of beautiful flowering plants and shrubs, as well as an impressive vegetable garden. There are sweeping lawns and giant pots full of carefully tended flowers.
Comfortable, quality furniture and homemade port wine were fine touches. All the thoughtful amenities certainly made the apartment feel like home.
Joaquin provided a personal welcome tour, pointed out restaurants and shopping areas. He also helped confirm our upcoming tour, obtained complicated meeting point details.
This apartment was perfect for quiet relaxation while providing close access to beautiful beaches and a long, well-constructed walkway along the shore. We experienced fine dining as well as an outdoor breakfast bordering the beach.
We will make this a definite stop whenever we are in the area again.
The property is located in Vila de Gaia, across the river from Porto. It is close to the Atlantic and lots of cafe's, shops and good restaurants. The home is private, quiet and beautiful.
Our stay was great and Joaquin was a pleasure to meet and talk to. He was very attentive and kind and made our stay comfortable. It is also worth mentioning that he makes his own Port wine, it was a nice jesture and it is honestly the best we have ever had! We would definitely recommend staying there and would not hesitate to return in the future!
