Oasis in the Heart of the City
Our host Joaquin has carved out a wonderful oasis in the middle of a city. The grounds are full of beautiful flowering plants and shrubs, as well as an impressive vegetable garden. There are sweeping lawns and giant pots full of carefully tended flowers. Comfortable, quality furniture and homemade port wine were fine touches. All the thoughtful amenities certainly made the apartment feel like home. Joaquin provided a personal welcome tour, pointed out restaurants and shopping areas. He also helped confirm our upcoming tour, obtained complicated meeting point details. This apartment was perfect for quiet relaxation while providing close access to beautiful beaches and a long, well-constructed walkway along the shore. We experienced fine dining as well as an outdoor breakfast bordering the beach. We will make this a definite stop whenever we are in the area again.

Wonderful location by the Atlantic!
The property is located in Vila de Gaia, across the river from Porto. It is close to the Atlantic and lots of cafe's, shops and good restaurants. The home is private, quiet and beautiful. Our stay was great and Joaquin was a pleasure to meet and talk to. He was very attentive and kind and made our stay comfortable. It is also worth mentioning that he makes his own Port wine, it was a nice jesture and it is honestly the best we have ever had! We would definitely recommend staying there and would not hesitate to return in the future!

Great little bungalow
Joaquim and his wife welcomed us into their home with a detailed introduction to the bungalow, showing us how everything worked. I was amazed to see they’d put out a bottle of their own homemade port and had taken the time to mark up a map of Porto with recommendations. One of our children is disabled and we asked for a mattress to be put on the floor - Joaquim and his wife were unfazed by this and quickly arranged everything so that it was perfect. The house is very clean and the kitchen well-supplied. The pool is also really lovely - the photos don’t quite do it justice. All in all the place is a great find - near the beach, a cab ride from the city, and with.caring and solicitous owners.

Great Cottage In Gaia Close To The Beach
Joaquim is a very friendly and accessible host. On arrival he met us at the gate, and showed us around the cottage and the property. He also provided us with a map of the area and indicated useful and interesting places to visit. The cottage is one of two adjoining units. They share a very nice pool that is surrounded by a hedge for privacy. The cottage is beautiful and clean. The bed is very comfortable and has high quality linen. The property itself has a large vegetable garden as well as a chicken coop which gives it a rural feel, even though it is surrounded by flats and houses. Access to the property is from a busy street so be mindful when exiting and entering through the large metal gate. The ocean is a short walk away. There are miles of sandy beaches on the Gaia side with walkways and bicycle paths. Really beautiful. Lots of beach bars, restaurants and a supermarket close by. We shopped at the supermarket and prepared many of our meals at home. You can walk along the river to Porto, or take an Uber to get there. We also used the bus, as well as the Metro in Porto. Many cool things to do and see in Porto. We enjoyed the Fado show, the six bridges boat ride, Sea Life and of course the beautiful buildings and architecture. People are friendly and the food is great!

What a wonderful hideaway!
The property itself is gorgeous, the accommodations unique, private walled in area right near gorgeous beaches and wonderful restaurants. Our host was very responsive, friendly, and generous. We cooked some at the house, but ate out a lot. We enjoyed the swimming pool at various times during every day, and just chilling out on our little veranda. I hope everyone gets to enjoy the sunset Canine Chorale and the beautiful sunsets.

A beautiful property
An immaculately clean and highly comfortable property. We were made very welcome by Joaquim. The property is a short walk from beach, cafes and some excellent restaurants. It is also well placed for visiting Porto by taxi. We didn’t need to use our car at all for the 6 nights we were there. Stunning views of sunsets from the beach. We really enjoyed our visit and will very likely return.

We have used VRBO & HomeAway for years and always been happy with our choices…this stay was over the top the best stay ever! No desire went unfilled by this owner. Everything about this stay was PERFECT. The owner, Joaquin & Rosalina are a fantastic couple and took every opportunity to be sure we were pleased. We can safely say this was our BEST VRBO experience ever.

Recreation near the city
We stayed with Joaquim for two weeks, who gave us a warm welcome and provided us with advice and tips the whole time. The apartment is very clean and well equipped. There was his own port wine and oil to try. It was very important to Joaquim that we feel comfortable and relaxed and he did a good job. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

Hôte exemplaire et exceptionnel
Joaquim et son épouse nous ont accueilli en grande. Ils se sont assurés que tout nous convenait et ont même ajouté un lit d’appoint à la dernière minute pour répondre à nos besoins. Cette maison se situe dans un environnement champêtre avec poules, coq, cheval, potager et jardin fleuri. Joaquim explique tous les détails de la maison et des endroits à visiter autour. Ils sont des hôtes chaleureux et amicaux. Je recommande sans aucune hésitation.

Everything was like described and Joaquim was a very friendly and helpful host. We had our bikes with us, so it was a 20 min ride along the coast and the Douro to the city center of Porto. We can fully recommend this house and plan to come back one day.

En egen oas bara ett stenkast från stranden. Joaquim och hans hustru sköter fastigheten exemplariskt. När vi bodde där pågick bygget av den nya poolen vilket medförde en del oväsen. Poolen bör nu vara färdigställd vilket är en tillgång för nya besökare.

Séjour sympathique
Nous avons séjourné une semaine dans cette mignonne petite maison. L'accueil de Joaquim a été très agréable. La maison permet facilement d'accéder à la mer, à Porto ou pour visiter la région. Quelques arbres permettrait de limiter la vue sur les immeubles voisins et d'atténuer le bruit de la villes. A part ce détail nous recommandons.
