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!

Comfortable clean and well equipped

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

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.

Wonderful

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.

Historic house in the middle of modern growth

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.

Best VRBO in Europe

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.

Wonderful location by the Atlantic!

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!

A beautiful property

An immaculately clean and highly comfortable property. We were made very welcome by Joaquim. The property is a short walk from beach, cafes and some excellent restaurants. It is also well placed for visiting Porto by taxi. We didn’t need to use our car at all for the 6 nights we were there. Stunning views of sunsets from the beach. We really enjoyed our visit and will very likely return.
