A Slice of Serenity Near Porto!

We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful property just outside of Porto. The setting was incredibly peaceful and tranquil — the kind of place that immediately makes you slow down and breathe a little deeper.The house itself was perfect for us, and the kids had the absolute best time exploring and playing. Everything was comfortable and thoughtfully prepared, and you can tell how much care goes into keeping the home in such great shape.But what truly made our stay extra special was Carina. She was an absolute angel — so kind, generous, and attentive. Her warmth really made us feel at home, and we’re so grateful for everything she did.Thank you for sharing such a special place with us. We’ll always remember this trip.

Exceptional outside Porto

Exceptional property, location, and host. The property was both beautiful and practical. The location for us was a perfect balance, close enough to Porto to be able to pop in and out but just far enough away to feel a slower pace and connect with the lifestyle. It provided easy access to Porto but also an excellent home base to explore the different areas of the north, including the Duro Valley. And I cannot say enough about the host, Sebatião. His warmth and generosity really made the stay beyond great. He shared so much local knowledge we felt like we had an insider key to experience the best of each day. We are already planning a way to get back to this exceptional place!

WOW, WOW, WOW

We spent a week at Chantal’s wonderful ’’ resort’’. This is not your ordinary VRBO rental, Chantal (and family) are professionals at running a rental home. The kitchen if fully equipped with all you need, nothing has been forgotten. Nespresso machine, Nescafe machine, raclette machine. The bathrooms are stocked like a hotel room, we feel more like we are in a resort instead of a private rental. This huge house is even nicer than the pictures on VRBO, we toured the house with Chantal and I think we said WOW 20 times. This is a gated house so your car or whatever you are driving is completely safe. If you are looking for a relaxed place not too far from Porto and the Douro valley you can stop looking, this is the place. We were there for a motorcycle riding week and the area did not disappoint. Chantal gave us many, many recommendations for restaurants, road trip adventures and places to visit. Merci Chantal.

Beach paradise

This location is literally steps off the beach! The sunsets were beautiful! Its a block from a market with fresh fruits and vegetables along with beachside restaurants just a few steps away down the beach boardwalk. The boardwalk in front of the room goes miles in both directions - actually don’t know how far because we never made it to the end on either side! Would highly recommend !

Nice apartment

We moved from another place on short notice, and they were very accommodating. We visited Porto, Aviero, braga Arouca, 516 bridge and Gaia. It is located in a little town and is on a private street where we could park right in front. It was walking distance to restaurants and various things. Not a lot of businesses in the town but we purposely wanted a quiet place. The apartment was on the first floor, which is one up from the ground, and what was the equivalent of a house. Enjoyed our visit very much.
