This is a brilliantly located apartment right on the river with phenomenal views in all directions. At night it is a real pleasure to have all of the windows open, the lights off, and just watch the hustle and bustle on the Duoro below.
It is perfect if you are a family with teenage children or a couple of couples looking for a weekend break!
As it's down on the river, you'll need to have your walking shoes on to get into the main centre of town. There is a river ferry nearby to take you across to the Wine Lodges on Gaia. Also, walk past the main bridge and just beyond is a funicular that will save you the majority of the uphill steps.
The owner, Rui, is very responsive and will provide you with tips and advice.
Also, the apartment is 'quirky' with art installations and modern art, so if you want somewhere that's I) central, ii) brilliant views and iii) a bit different, then just go ahead and book it!
