Family stay in Porto
Great location, easy walk along the river to Porto (45mins), bakery on the corner was great and would make ham and cheese rolls to take with you (very cheap). The house is good, has everything you need (no oven, dishwasher or washing machine as stated). Very quiet neighbourhood, friendly people around and some good fish restaurants - highly recommend the one opposite bakery, had queues of customers every evening so go early

Authentic fisherman's cottage
We particularly enjoyed staying out of the city in a relatively peaceful setting. Local, fresh fish restaurants were plentiful and reasonably priced and all in easy access. City centre is easily accessible either a picturesque walk by the river or by Uber which was cheaper for us than public transport. There were 2 shops and a bakery on the door step. It was a perfect sized place for our family of 4. It would be too small for any more in my opinion. Overall an enjoyable stay and hopefully we experienced a little bit of 'old style Portuguese life'.

perfekter Standort
Die Wohnung hat eine perfekte Lage. Man ist zu Fuß in ca. 40 Minuten bei den Portweinkellern und der Brücke nach Porto. Immer entlang des Flusses. Supermarkt und Restaurants in direkter Nachbarschaft. Auch die Einheimischen gehen dort hin. Die Wohnung erstreckt sich über 2 Etagen. Wobei wir unsere Koffer unten im Esszimmmer gelassen haben. Sie waren zu schwer für die steile Treppe. Der Kontakt zur Vermieterin war sehr nett. Also alles wunderbar.

Nice place, convenient parking, breakfast close by
The keys took us a bit to figure out but once we had it sorted it was fine. The bedrooms are quite tiny, so no room for luggage but we managed fine. Great little cafe at the end of the block where we enjoyed breakfast. Easy parking close by. Would book again!

Porto Portugal
Die Unterkunft ist gut gelegen und sauber. Jedoch gab es bei uns Probleme. FeWo hat die Daten Zum Bett nicht korrekt übertragen. Es war nicht ersochtlich das es sich um 2 kleine Betten mit unter 1,40 Meter handelt und die Länge nur 1,85 Meter ist. Das war für 5 Personen echt zu wenig und die Schlafcouch war nicht gerade sehr gemütlich. Daher haben wir einen Stern abgezogen. Die Inhaber der Immobilie sind aber sehr freundlich und nett. Wir konnten dort nur 1 von 4 nächten verbringen. Wir haben 2 Nächter ertstattet bekommen, an der 3. Nacht sind wir noch dran und lassen das nicht so stehen.

Traditionelle Unterkunft
Es ist eine traditionelle, sehr schöne Wohnung! Schöner kleiner Vorort, mit kleinen Restaurants, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Strandnah. Porto ist mit dem Bus, mit einmaligem umsteigen gut zu erreichen, ca 45 Minuten. Zu Fuß ca 1ne Stunde. Habe die Zeit sehr genossen.

Charming Neighborhood
This is a lovely property in a charming neighborhood outside of “downtown” Porto. It was nice to be a bit removed from the main tourist hub, and there are free parking lots if you are traveling by car. Comfortable for our family of 4–2 adults and 2 teens. We walked into Porto which made for a fun, sight-filled day.

Great Riverside Location!
We really enjoyed our stay. The bedrooms are upstairs and the bathroom is downstairs which wasn’t the optimal arrangement, but the villa is adorable! We loved the table and chairs on the sidewalk and met several friendly passersby. Great property manager even loaned us her umbrella! Thanks for a nice stay!
