Beautiful Home from Home

Fantastic comfortable apartment with everything you need for a short or long stay. Good location, one straight road down to the riverside with it's selection of bars and restaurants - this means a walk uphill to get back although you can always get a cheap Uber if the hill is too much for you. Comfortable bed, plenty of wardrobe space, great air con, walk in shower, well appointed kitchen and all the appliances and extras you could need to truly make this feel like home for as long as you stay. An app means easy access to the building and the apartment and Bruno is available for any questions. We would definitely return and recommend it to friends and family looking for somewhere to stay in Porto/Gaia.

Fabulous

The property was exactly as listed. The building is old but very tastefully decorated. We had absolutely everything we could need for our 6-night stay. Bruno was excellent to deal with and answered any questions promptly. The property is in Gaia, which I hadn’t realized initially but we were so happy we ended up in a quiet part of the area that was still close to all amenities. Have the ability to enjoy the backyard space was great. Opening the garden doors in the morning hearing the birds sing was one of my favourite parts.

The apartment was located in a beautiful part of town. The front balcony has an incredible view of the city. The back yard / courtyard was very peaceful and a great place relax after exploring the city. The Lidl grocery store was just around the corner and very convenient. Highly recommended

Porto 2024

We had a wonderful stay at Bruno’s Wine House. The apartment had plenty of room for us to spread out our belongings. We were able to catch the metro and tour Porto very easily. Vila Nova de Gaia is an interesting town, with all of the port wine houses located close to our accommodation. It was extremely helpful that Bruno had a washer/dryer available for us, since we had been travelling for over one week before we arrived at his property and finding a laundromat is difficult.

Good spot

The apartment was clean and as expected. Air conditioners present, but because that area of Gaia is quite humid, it felt damp at times. Street Parking only. Pay street parking nearby, free a couple of blocks away. Hilly area, like most of Portugal, but wecouldeasily walk north to Porto.

Best for last

This was our last stop on our vacation and Bruno's place was the nicest of the 5 places we stayed over our 2 week vacation. Great communication with Bruno. We were able to get access a few hours early and he also allowed us to keep our luggage in the apartment for a few hours after check out. Located across the river from downtown Porto but it's just a quick15- 20 minute walk to river and tons of shops and restaurants. Also close to metro station if you want to take the train. Would definitely stay here again if we come back to Porto.

Lovely and fully equipped apartment

Bruno's Wine House was perfect for our stay in Gaia. After getting used to the steep hills of Gaia and Porto, we really appreciated the location of Bruno's. Beautiful views, lots of room, a well-equipped kitchen and plenty of light. The only drawback is that the living room couch was not the most comfortable (a bit too firm), but since most of our time was spent exploring, it wasn't a major drawback. I highly recommend a stay here for anyone looking for the comforts of home away from home.

Not great location

The apartment more or less matched the online listing, but the layout made it quite claustrophobic, even for two people. Pots, pans, cooking utensils barely useable. High-tech oven-stovetop-microwave but couldn't figure out how to use them. Bruno was more than helpful when called on, but the property itself backs onto a busy street with 4-hour parking, useless for overnight. Misjudged how difficult it would be to navigate by car.

Gorgeous Apartment, Fabulous Host!

We loved Bruno’s Wine House so much! It’s the most beautiful apartment on the street! It was so comfortable, with a fantastic layout and beautiful details. We all wanted to move in. Bruno was an amazing host. He was so communicative and checked in on us to ensure we were happy. If you want to stay somewhere quieter, but close walking distance to the river and Porto, this is the place for you. I highly recommend. Bruno has thought of everything!

Great experience at Bruno’s Wine House

We thoroughly enjoyed Vila Nova da Gaia and Porto on our visit. Bruno was a very good communicator before, during and after our stay. We left an important item behind and Bruno (and his Mother) went above and beyond to help us get back to pick it up. We travelled to Braga City to meet Bruno’s Mother and followed his advice on visiting areas in Braga Centro. An amazing hidden gem. So much to see and do there. We visited the beautiful Braga Cathedral and the surrounding area near ithe cathedral t is a beautiful pedestrian shopping and dining zone. Thank you very much Bruno. You were a great host and we appreciate all the help you provided. Teresa BC, Canada

Schöner Kurzurlaub

Wir waren zu zweit und sind 5 Tage in Porto gewesen. Das Appartement befindet sich in einem Altbau, ist zweckmäßig/modern eingerichtet und hat uns für die Zeit ein schönes Zuhause gegeben. Die Kommunikation mit Bruno war immer unkompliziert und freundlich. Es sind einige Höhenmeter zu bewältigen, um von der Altstadt zurück ins Appartement zu kommen. Mit der Zeit haben wir "Flachländer" uns daran gewöhnt. :-) Noch ein Tipp: Am günstigsten kommt man mit UBER z.B. vom Airport zur Unterkunft. Taxi = 50€, UBER = 20€ Fazit: Wir kommen wieder!
