Lordelo do Ouro holiday lettings

This is one of the best apartments we have rented for our holiday. Everything needed is provided for a self catering holiday. Also, lovely welcome gift of Port Wine, cakes and fruit. Although a parking space is provided, there is ample public transport options very close by so car is not required. Located in a quiet, residential neighbourhood with choices of supermarket within walking distance along with small local shops. An added bonus, is sitting watching the sunset on the balcony. The whole esperience was enhanced by Sandra the hostess who was very welcoming, informative and always available if required. We will definitely return.

Great little apartment, with a wonderful master bedroom complete with balcony, period features, and high ceilings. Situated in a shaded, typical Portuguese side street with plenty of character. The location is great - the Jardim do Passeio Alegre is a the bottom of the street, where there are two crazy golf courses, music, a café, and market stalls of food and crafts. My kids also spent a lot of time in the old-fashioned pursuit(!) of climbing trees. Foz has three shingle beaches, which are fine for sunbathing or paddling, but if you want a sandy beach, Matosinhos is only 3km up the coast. Its €2 on the 500 bus, or €4-5 in an Uber. We went there every other day. One day we hired bikes from Dourobike and cycled up there along the coast (cycle route the whole way). Then we cycled round the majestic Parque da Cidade. In Foz there are plenty of restaurants and grocery stores. The walk along the esplanade at the bottom of the Jardim do Passeio Alegre is glorious. For a trip into Porto centre, take the 500 bus (the other way), the vintage no. 1 tram (€3.50), or an Uber (€9-11). Ariana was a great host, answering my questions and giving good tips. The apartment had everything we needed (although an extra frying plan would be good), including a coffee machine. The second bedroom was a little dark, due to the natural light coming through the door from the next room, but it's only used for sleeping anyway. The master room has a day bed and a large rug, so we chilled in there or the lounge. Wifi was good. All in all, a great stay.
