Absolutely lovely space. view from every room. Well equipped for long stay in the Canidelo area. Walkable to Porto 8km, inexpensive bolt or uber. Loads of grocery stores and restaurants within 5km. Out of the city hustles, but in touching distance with miles of walkable ocean walks and views. 5Star accommodation that has a little wear and tear. stayed for 6 weeks and loved it….tourist restaurants and lots of Local fare. cafe de fonte away from ocean (800m) has a true local vibe and blue collar local welcome with regional foods.

Difficult to understand that being in your words “an absolutely lovely space of 5 stars”, you gave it only 4 stars. Are you joking?! Please correct it!

We had an amazing time at this beautiful apartment. The place is spacious, spotless, and tastefully decorated – everything you need to feel right at home. The highlight, without a doubt, is the breathtaking sea view – it truly doesn't get better than this!The location is fantastic: peaceful, yet close to everything you need. Whether you want to relax or explore, it’s the perfect base.Our host was incredibly kind, welcoming, and communicative throughout our stay, which made everything so easy and enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

Great apartment with amazing views

We had a great time staying in this large and well equipped apartment with direct views over the ocean. There is a great coastline walkway which takes you into Porto to the north and stretches along the coast to the south with plenty of cafes and restaurants. The apartment has three large bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen and a great projector in the living area. Lift access and plenty of parking. A great location to explore this region.

Gorgeous apartment. Spectacular view.

We have had a wonderful 2 week stay. Apartment is great size. Brilliant location with some of the best restaurants in walking distance. Short drive to the river Douro with a huge choice of restaurants and port cellars. Apartment is also a great location for Porto and other lovely places to visit. We cannot fault this apartment at all. If we are being picky the screen/projecter is good but due to the wonderful view and sun shining through the windows you can’t always see the picture and we didn’t want to close the shutters! Buy like I say this would not deter us from booking again. Great communication from Marcos and he even met us there on arrival. Thank you.

Lovely apartment

We had a wonderful stay at Marcos’s place. It’s very spacious, there were 6 of us, and so clean. The views are unreal, we even spotted dolphins from the balcony. Location wise it’s great. Easy to get to the city by Uber and you can walk if you fancy it, stopping for lunch in the fishing village on the way if you like! Fab beach bars over the road and below the building. And a great restaurant called Brasão Salgueiros a short walk away, best to book ahead. Marcos was very helpful, check in was smooth and easy. We had a small issue with the shower head holder breaking (no big deal as there is another shower anyway) but it was fixed within a day. There is a small supermarket a few minutes walk away and lidl about 25 mins walk if you need more. Thanks for making the whole process so easy Marcos!

Enjoyable.

Upon arrival Marcos met us for our one week stay , and he walked us through the condo. We realized there was only 1 deck chair for 4 people, apparently they were on order. Never arrived. Once we were unpacked, we realized the basics were lacking somewhat. The bath towels were very worn, holes in one hand towel. No kitchen towels , dish cloths. The cleaner had missed this, they arrived next day. One kitchen garbage bag, one roll paper towel, no hand soap, laundry soap or shampoo. So beware that you will be expected to buy your own if staying longer than a few days. The tv was finnicky to operate and required us to phone as there wasn't a manual. Marcos was very prompt with phone calls, and responded quickly with any requests. The location, size of condo, parking, and overall experenice was great. We would return. Thx Marcos for having us.

Living in Luxury!

We had a wonderful time in this luxury apartment. The views of the ocean from every room were magical. We loved the promenade that hugs the coastline and took many walks a day. The kitchen is well stocked and you even have a beautiful view of the ocean while you create your feasts. One special touch that I really appreciated was all the beautiful candles throughout the apartment. It was very spacious and I had plenty of room to do my daily yoga routine. Due to CV19, we didn't explore the restaurants or Porto but from afar it all looks amazing! We can't wait to return to this area once the world resumes it's new normal. And we would 100% love to stay in this luxury apartment again!!!!

Nice stay on ocean during our vacation in Porto

Our group of two couples enjoyed our 3 night stay here in February. The apartment is spacious with a great view of the ocean. We enjoyed happy hour on the terrace watching the waves roll in from the ocean. On our trip to Porto, we chose to stay here, rather than the city center. It was a 15-20 minute Uber ride into the city center for about 8 euros (faster and cheaper from Gaia). There is a supermarket (Continente bom dia) a pleasant 20-minute walk south along the ocean boardwalk where bought groceries for suppers and happy hours. We were personally given our keys at check-in with detailed instructions on how to live in the apartment.

Nice apartment in front of the ocean

The apartment of Marcos is nice, spacious and perfectly located in front of the ocean. We have chosen it because of the location and it completely met our expectations. You may see nice ocean waves just sitting in the apartment and even hear sound of waves that is great. At the same time the apartment is quiet (we have not heard any noise). It provides comfortable temperature in the winter because of air-conditioning and contains all necessary kitchen and other accessories. Furthermore, there is a convenient parking that is important if you come by car. The communication with Marcos was also very nice, thus, we highly recommend the apartment!
