Excellent holiday, I would highly recommend especially if you have children

Excellent holiday and excellent apartment. Everything is provided that you can think of. The apartment is extremely clean and tidy, with lots of toys for the kids to keep them occupied throughout the 7 days we were there. The location is great. Near to the beach, grocery store, park and cafes and restaurants. There's also plenty of vegetarian and vegan options in the local cafes. Porto is 1 train journey away and easy to get to. The owners are friendly and always happy to help. We had a great time, thank you

Best of the beach and Porto centre.

A beautiful, well appointed apartment in a modern complex with a shared pool. The beach is a five minute walk with lifeguards, sun lounger hire and a great choice of cafes and restaurants. Porto is a very short and inexpensive train ride away, with the station only a 5 minute walk. If you want the benefits of the beach and the city this is a fantastic choice. The apartment is well laid out, with lovely decoration and all the home comforts you will need. Perfect for couples or families with younger children. The only very minor disadvantage is no balcony to sit and enjoy the sunsets, but you can try one of the beachside restaurants - all well priced. With Porto just up the coast it is a great base to explore. Trains are frequent and inexpensive and there are lots of activities and excursions to suit all tastes. Worth a trip to a city and region steeped in history, fantastic wines and with friendly and welcoming locals. Obrigado

Tolle Wohnung

Wir hatten einen schönen Urlaub in einer tollen Wohnung. Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Vermieter. Die Wohnung ist sehr gut ausgestattet und besonders mit Kindern sehr zu empfehlen. Zum Strand sind es nur ein paar Minuten Fußweg. Zwei kleine Supermärkte, eine Bäckerei und eine Metzgerei sind auch in der Nähe. Die gepflegte Wohnanlage verfügt zudem über einen kleinen Pool. Wir können diese Wohnung absolut empfehlen!

Ein wunderschönes Apartment in direkter Nähe zum Strand

Wir hatten eine wundervolle Zeit in einem wunderschönen und liebevoll eingerichteten Appartement. Die Vermieterin ist eine fantastische Gastgeberin, die am Wohlergehen und der Zufriedenheit ihrer Gäste interessiert ist. Sie hatte super Tipps für uns und hat uns auch nachträglich mit Informationen zu von uns gestellten Fragen versorgt. Auch die voll ausgestattete Küche ließ keine Wünsche offen. Mit 200 m zum Strand ist der Standort natürlich ausgezeichnet. Dazu kommt der wirklich gute Bäcker auf der anderen Straßenseite und der kleine Supermarkt 50 m weiter. Wir waren wunschlos glücklich und planen schon unsere Rückkehr.

Un appartement plus que complet et très bien situé.

La propriétaire nous a chaleureusement accueillis avec de petites attentions et nous a laissé tout ce dont nous avions besoin (et même plus!) dans l’appartement. Cela fait une réelle différence au niveau budgétaire, mais c’est aussi idéal pour éviter le gaspillage, car si nous avions dû acheter p.ex. des condiments ou de l’huile, nous aurions forcément dû les emporter avec nous ou les jeter à la fin du séjour. Ici, il y avait absolument tout, et c’était une belle surprise! De plus, la propriétaire est sympathique, disponible et prévenante. L’endroit est qui plus est parfait, une excellente boulangerie en face, un café avec petite restauration en dessous de l’immeuble, une plage surveillée à 5min à pied... Et Porto à un quart d’heure en voiture. Top! Nous reviendrons si nous en avons l’occasion!

Location ideale en famille et propriétaires tres attentionnés.

Superbe appartement très propre et tres bien équipé. La proximité de la plage est très appréciable. La piscine est un plus pour les enfants. La gare a proximité permet de decouvrir porto et ses alentours (braga,aveiro,guimaraes,espinho) sans voiture. Je vous le recommande vivement.

Toll ausgestattete Ferienwohnung

Wir hatten mit unseren Kindern einen sehr herzlichen Empfang durch die Vermieter! Die Wohnung war super sauber und ist liebevoll eingerichtet. Die voll ausgestattete Küche ließ keine Wünsche übrig. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig. Es sind nur ca. 200m Fußweg zu einem wunderschönen Strand. Die Tiefgarage ist über einen Fahrstuhl gut zu erreichen. Zwei Cafés/Bäckereien sind gleich vorne an der Straße. Porto, die Strände und Umgebung lassen sich problemlos von dort ansteuern. Nach Porto geht auch ein Nahverkehrszug rein. Der kleine Bahnhof ist in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß zu erreichen. Herzlichen Dank an unsere Vermieter für den schönen Aufenthalt!

Comfortable, modern apartment

We enjoyed our stay outside Porto, at the beach. Owners very accommodating by meeting us and addressing our needs. Was nice to get away from bustle of city, with a short 20 minute train ride away. Small grocery nearby and a decent restaurant. Could have used a few comfortable chairs for pool area.

Fantastisch!

Da hier leider nicht sechs oder zehn Sterne vergeben können, gibt's von uns "nur" fünf! Am Besten aber würden wir nur einen Stern vergeben, damit unser Geheimtipp bei uns bliebe! Wo anfangen, wo aufhören? Unsere beiden Söhne, 3 und 6 Jahre, wollten gar nicht mehr weg, weil es so toll war. Die Wohnung bietet alles, aber wirklich auch alles, was man im Urlaub braucht - und darüber hinaus! Angefangen von der herzlichen Begrüßung, den kleinen feinen Aufmerksamkeiten zu Beginn unseres Aufenthaltes - unsere Jungs fanden sogar Geschenke vor!! - bis hin zum Nachfragen unter der Woche, ob alles in Ordnung sei... Die Lage der Wohnung ist zudem hervorragend: 250 m zum Strand, nach Porto ein paar Zugstationen, eigener Swimmingpool in der Ferienanlage, Bäcker vor der Tür und der Supermarkt nicht viel weiter... Wir sind so begeistert von der Wohnung und der Herzlichkeit von Alexandra, dass wir wiederkommen wollen! TOP und dicke Empfehlung von uns!!

A great place to be !

Our stay in this flat deserves a 5-stars comment ! We were welcomed in the best way possible, the owners had so nice details for our arrival... It was just incredible. The flat is really well decorated, and you immediately feel well. The swimming pool was also very pleasant. The flat is also very well equiped ! The beach was also nice and we could go and have nice running sessions in the morning. It was also very easy to go to Porto without having a car, because you have the Miramar rail-station quite close (less than 10 min by walk I think). You can reach Porto very easily. In front of the house there is also a very good pastelaria where you can find wonderful pasteis de nata, and also close there is a very good Churrasqueira were you can take away. We really appreciated our stay, so I highly recommend it ! :-)
