Sehr nettes, kleines Feriendomizil unweit der Marina von Porto in einem netten, alten Stadtteil mit vielen Lokalen. Die Unterkunft ist sauber und der Kontakt war sehr freundlich und offen. Einzig allein das doch recht kleine Bad wäre zu erwähnen, was für uns Normmenschen kein Problem darstellte, aber sehr große bzw. korpulente Menschen es vermutlich als zu eng empfinden würden. Ein Nahverkehrsanschluss (Bus) ist nur 10 min entfernt, obwohl man auch einfach ein Stunde zu Fuß am Douro entspannt in die Stadt gehen kann. Eine Badestelle am Fluss ist keine 10 min weg, der Strand am Atlantik nur 30 min zu Fuß oder ratzfatz mit dem E-Scooter oder Fahrrad, die jederzeit im Stadteil zur mittlerweilen üblichen Schnellmietung zu finden sind. Insgesamt hat es gehörig dazu beigetragen, dass wir unsere Zeit in Porto sehr genossen haben. Danke.

Schöne Wohnung mit guter Lage

Die Wohnung ist schön und liebevoll eingerichtet. Das Bad ist ziemlich klein. Das obere Schlafzimmer liegt unter dem Dach und ist für große Personen eher nicht geeignet. Das Haus liegt direkt an einer Straße und es ist dadurch recht laut wenn die Autos vorbei fahren. Nach Porto sind es ca 3 km zu Fuß, man kann die Strecke auch mit dem Auto fahren und sehr günstig parken.

Super schöne kleine Ferienwohnung. Nah am Strand und Fischerdorf.

Vila Gaia Nova ist ein schöner Stadtteil von Porto. Liegt direkt am Fluß. Ferienwohnung ist nahe der schönen Badestrände. Das historische Zentrum liegt in der Nähe. Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel sind in ausreichender Form vorhanden. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten im Dorf und im Supermarkt in der Nähe. Sehr nette Hauswirtin hat uns mit vielen Informationen versorgt. Ausstattung der Wohnung ist sehr gut. Wir haben uns sehr erholt. Kommen gerne wieder. Vielen Dank für alle Infos.

Estadia muito aprazível e tranquila

Apartamento muito bem equipado e elegante, lugar tranquilo e calmo, para quem gostar de pesca aconselho, perto de restaurantes onde o prato forte é o peixe. Gostei imenso do lugar, pena ter sido pouco tempo.
