    Located just across the Douro River from Porto’s historic centre, Calçada da Serra places you in the heart of Vila Nova de Gaia’s most iconic neighbourhoods. Just steps away from the famous Port wine cellars, scenic riverfront promenades, and the breathtaking views from the Dom Luís I Bridge, this area is perfect for travellers looking to explore local culture, cuisine, and history, all within walking distance.

    The property is easily accessible by public transport and car.

    The nearest metro station, Jardim do Morro (line D), is just a 6-minute walk.

    Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport is approximately a 25-minute drive from the property.

    This is a self-check-in property, and you will be requested to verify your identity before enter into the property. Check-in can be done from 3 PM, pending availability and confirmation.

    Please note that this property is located directly beneath the Dom Luís I Bridge. You may hear noise from the metro/tram passing over the bridge, especially at night. Many guests find they quickly get used to it.

    Once a reservation is confirmed, guests are requested to complete a guest registration form following the legal obligations stipulated by local authorities in Portugal.

    There is a zero-tolerance policy for smoking on the property. If our team discovers evidence that this rule has been breached (e.g., smoke smell, ashes, butts, etc.), we fully reserve the right to charge a €200 smoking fee at minimum.

    Please note that for stays longer than 30 nights, a fair use policy of the utilities will apply with a limit of 80€.
    For the first days, we provide the basic amenities: samples of shower gel, shampoo, soap, toilet paper, kitchen roll, sponge, dishwashing products and a bin bag.

    Extra keys: 20€ (extra pair of keys when available, lost keys or service to open the door during your stay).
    Extra cleaning with linen: the price of a cleaning fee.

    Extra Clothing: 30€ (Towels and sheets for 2pax, i.e. when the sofa bed is not included).
