We had a wonderful week staying in this apartment! It's very clean and spacious, and has incredible views of the ocean. It's conveniently located and easy to travel into Porto city centre and the countryside beyond. The beach is directly opposite so is perfect for families with children and for evening walks. There are two medium size bikes in the garage which were an added bonus. Marcos was helpful and responded to our messages promptly. We highly recommend staying here!

Stay in Gaia

It was a good location and wonderful apartment. Only issues are water leak from the bidet and the heater does no work in either of the bedrooms. Had to heat the apartment with the living room heater. Aside from that, loves the experience.

Great stay in Vila Nova da Gaia

We had a wonderful stay in the beachside apartment. It was very clean, spacious and well equipped. We were three adults and it was very comfortable for all of us. During our stay of two weeks we had our bed linens and towels exchanged once which was a nice perk. The beds were comfortable. We had a car and the inside parking was handy with close proximity to the elevator. We were about a ten minute drive to the Gaia side of the Douro. Some of the furniture is showing its age and the bathroom sinks/vanities could use a bit of an update. Overall, it was a great stay.

We were met at the apartment and shown the property and provided with information we would require for our stay. The apartment is in a fantastic location right across from the beach. It is large and airy, plenty of room for two couples, each having out their bathroom. Having the air conditioning was brilliant, though we did not always need this as the sun did not come around until the evening, therefore keeping the living area and kitchen at a pleasant temperature all day, especially if we had the balcony doors open when we were there. The kitchen had all the facilities you would require, plenty of pots/pans etc. There was a cleaning cupboard with items we could use too. The main balcony was a great spot to watch the sunsets , and it was fabulous having a balcony attached to the bedroom. We could see the sea from our room when we woke in the morning. The area is quiet in the evenings but full of locals going about their daily lives during the day. A lovely place to be. Uber into Porto or Vila Nova De Gaia was easy and cheap. I would definitely recommend this apartment. I would however suggest that if visitors are staying for a number of days, that providing them all with more than one towel each would be much better as we did occasionally not have a dry towel when we wanted to shower as it hadn’t dried or been out of the machine long enough. We did look to see if there were extras but could not find any,however I am sure that had we messaged Marco he would have arranged this

Lovely holiday near Porto

This flat was exactly as described and a really lovely place to stay, clean and with a gorgeous view of the sea and the sunsets. Marcos is a good host too. You can easily catch a bus into Porto from the bus stop opposite the Casa Branca restaurant which Marcos recommended and was well worth a visit, delicious fish meals in particular. We would thoroughly recommend this flat for a holiday near Porto.

Gorgeous unit with fantastic view and everything you need

This property was well taken care of and has a great view and is right across from the beach and a wonderful walking path. It’s well stocked and has everything you need. There is an excellent restaurant right below and coffee shops all along the walking path right across the street. We enjoyed waking up each morning and walking along the boardwalk miles in each direction.

A fantastic time in Porto and Northern Portugal!

My wife and I stayed at this Porto apartment from May 6 to May 13, 2018. We had a fantastic time exploring Porto and Northern Portugal during the day. Returning to this very beautiful and comfortable apartment every evening to watch the sun set on the Atlantic. Marcos was a very gracious host treating us with the utmost respect and leaving nothing to worry about. Our deepest appreciation to Marcos for a wonderful time. It was our first experience with VRBO and it won't be our last!

Beautiful, comfortable aparment with outstanding sea views.

The apartment is very conveniently positioned on the sea front with lovely views of the ocean. There are some lovely bars and restaurants within walking distance and the beach is a two minute walk across the road. Porto is within easy reach by bus and we managed very well using the regular bus service. Taxis are plentiful and good value for money and we were delighted at not having to hire a car. Marcos was incredibly helpful and a man of his word. He is the most easy person to deal with and it would be great if all property managers were as reliable as he! The apartment is well appointed and we found the beds really comfortable. It was great to have the use of deck chairs and a beach umbrella. Thank you Marcos for making our stay so memorable and we very much hope to return.

Peaceful Lavadores within easy reach of a vibrant and bustling Porto

After I booked this accommodation I wondered on looking again at its location on the map whether I had made an error in choosing an apartment which was not in central Porto. But I need not have worried because when we arrived I realised that I had made the best choice. The apartment was new, spacious and comfortable with fantastic views of the Atlantic Ocean both from the lounge and even whilst laying in bed watching the amazing sky turn first pink then blue in the early morning sunrise. The block was so quiet, situated in a peaceful and secure environment overlooking the sea. There is a lovely cafe bar below for that glass of Vinho Verdi either on the way out for the evening or on return for a nightcap. We used the local buses to reach Porto and Taxis a couple of times to return when we were tired after much sightseeing. They cost no more than €8 per trip and Uber was particularly good for delivering us home from a restaurant after the arrival of an Atlantic storm one evening. In Porto one of our best finds was the food market called Bom Succeso. Not as big as the Time Out Market in Lisbon but less crowded and we found Portuguese Sparkling wine at only €2 a glass! Another was a lovely little wine bar called “Wee Porto” where we sat outside in the sunshine and enjoyed a plate of Portuguese cheese and some aged Tawny Port. Marcos met us on arrival and gave us useful information about the apartment facilities, good restaurants and their menus. Altogether a very enjoyable stay. Portugal never fails when it comes to giving an opportunity to meet and speak with friendly locals and to enjoy such wonderful sights and local cuisine.
