Great accommodation with a wonderful sunset view !!

Lovely place, lovely quiet area, and a very helpful host. Great place to stay if you want a mix of beach time but also quick and easy access to the city to explore what Porto has to offer. Such a beautiful city. Really loved the seafood in the Afurada area of Vila Nova de Gaia too :)

Amazing place to stay on a visit to Porto

Everything about Hugo’s apartment was first class it had amazing views, well equipped and very spacious!! All three bedrooms were a good size, one with en suite the second with a bathroom next door and the third perfect for kids. The living room and dining area are spacious and comfortable.. We will definitely recommend the area and Hugo’s apartment to our friends

Lovely apartment with view

Lovely spacious apartment with balcony views over the sea. Great location away from busy Porto but near enough to do the sites. Plenty of places to eat within walking distance along the beautiful coastline. Recommend Cremosi for ice cream, cake & crepes after watching the sunset on the beach! Excellent helpful host. Highly recommended

Porto for Grandpa...

Was looking for a 3 BR/2BA on the beach in Porto. Having never been looked on the map and said that looks like a nice surf break. We'll stay there. It was everything you could ask for and more.

Holiday with my daughter in Porto

We spent 5 nights in Porto for a holiday. The Gaia area is definitely a great location to stay with not only the beach, amazing sunsets but also lots and lots of great restaurants. We went into Porto Centro for a day and were so glad to have picked the beach side area as it was very relaxing. The board walk along the water front was fantastic for daytime and evening strolls. Really recommend a holiday to Portugal and so happy we stayed where we did.

Everything hoped for and more!

When you book to stay somewhere you hope that it will be what you expect when you arrive. To say that this apartment exceeded our expectations would be an understatement and for that we will always be grateful. The layout, the view and the quality of the furnishings were all excellent. However, what topped it off was being met by the owner (Hugo) and made to feel so welcome. It was also good to have a face to a name and that he, obviously, cared about who was going to stay in his property. All of the above, along with the location, made this a very special and enjoyable holiday. We look forward to returning soon! Thank you, Hugo!

This is the plade to stay in Porto!

Hugo was very professional and customer friendly towards the weekend of our stay with correct emails, good information and pleasant communication. The appartment is beautifull, very clean and spacious. Everything you need is present, good double bathrooms, good bed's, lovely couches, perfect balcony and good Multi-media. Even the candles are in place when you come in. Location is perfect with everything within 5-10 minutes drive, porto centre, good restaurants, beachclubs, disco/bar, supermarkets etc. But the best is their service...they are full-time available in case anything happens and help you where they can. My wife got a painfull ear infection during the weekend. Marcos (Hugo's father) arranged anti-biotics, painkillers and vitamince c for us within half an hour and didn't want anything for it. Conclusion: The Best place in Porto with the best service available. Thank You Hugo and escpecially Marcos for the weekend. Untill next time! All the best, Kind regards Marco & Maroescha

Dear Marco, Thank you for your kind words and I hope your wife is doing better. Will be glad to see you back in Porto again in the future. All the best, Hugo

A hidden gem in Vila Nova de Gaia

We, a family, stayed in this comfortable apartment for 10 nights over New Year. It was our first visit to Porto and we couldn't have been happier with our choice of lodging. The apartment is gorgeously decorated and it feels like a home from home. The pictures looked great but in person, wow! The apartment is spectacular, super clean, modern and fancy. We really enjoyed out stay, linen, towels, kitchen stuff, all was provided. The apartment location is very good, near by the beach and a short walk to restaurants and some local market in a laid back area. Even though we didn't cook like we thought we might do once or twice, it was great to have a clean, modern kitchen area for making breakfast and dinners. We appreciated the quietness in the building as well. We enjoyed our stay very much and would be happy to come back. Regarding the owner, Hugo was fast acting answering all our doubts in a timely manner. But the best of all was be supported by his mother Mrs Isabel, a dedicated support person and also very kind. Highly recommend it and Mrs Isabel was a great help with recommending restaurants etc too. Our best recommendations! We will most surely return.

Wir waren eine Gruppe von drei Erwachsenen, zum vierten Mal in der Wohnung in Vila Nova de Gaia am Meer. Die Buchung, der Empfang vom Vermieter, die Wohnung, die Lage, der Aufenthalt, das Land, die Kultur wieder alles bestens. Wir lieben es sehr und freuen uns jetzt schon auf den nächsten Aufenthalt.
