Manuel was a great and friendly host. Every 2 days he came and cleaned the pool and also left us some breakfast and fruit, always checking up on us and making sure everything was okay. The house is in a quiet,little village with not much to do but the quality of the villa and the closeness to porto (20 minute taxi) makes up for that. There is a small bar at the top of the road which I highly recommend visiting as the food is among some of the best I have had as well as the locals being really really friendly. Would highly recommend this villa, all 8 of us loved every minute!
