We enjoyed our stay at the beautiful casa from Catarina. It is a house on the property of her parents, who are very kind and helpful to answer all your questions. The house has everything you need for a nice city trip or a longer stay and the basics are provided when you arrive. We enjoyed the nicely decorated house and the romantic porch with a nice view on the garden (including chickens, cats and a goose:))

You can reach the city center of Porto via metro or taxi within 15 minutes. Another great advice we got from Catarina and her family was to rent a car en drive along the Douro river to enjoy the vineyards in the valley and see the houses where the port whine is made.

A great recommendation for everyone who is looking for a quiet refugee near the great city of Porto.
