We had some wonderful time here, although we stayed just for two nights. Such a nice view of the Douro river to start with. The accommodation is very clean, tidy, nicely decorated and have everything one may need, including a washing machine, a dryer, a dishwasher, etc. We used none of them so maybe we should come back for a longer stay :)

Others have written this too, yes true that the accommodation is not in Porto, but Vila Novo de Gaia, but this gives you a good change of viewing Porto from the other side of the river ! It takes about a 25 min walk to reach the bridge, we enjoyed the walk. You could visit the porto wineries that are located on this side of the river on your way to Porto.

We had some very good advise about where to go and which restaurant to eat from our hosts and were kind enough to book for the taxi transfers.
