Adérito is a man of great vitality and good will. He welcomed us warmly to his gracious home. He provided us with a map of Porto on which he had marked out a walking tour - taking in the places which he thought would interest us. He also recommended a couple of local restaurants. (The one next to the pink house at the bottom of the hill is hearty and good value.)

The house is really close to central Porto - and entirely free of the noise which is often the price you pay for staying in the old quarter of a European city. You can walk most places - or take the nearby bus or metro.
