We came to Azurara hoping to have it as a base to travel into Porto. our Porto plans were cancelled, but that was maybe just as good. The place is close to a nice beach with great surfing (bring one of those stomach surf-thingies for your kids). I went on a day course (of which there are many!), and my son played until he was frozen blue.
There is also an adventure land not far away.
The area is calm, bordering a nature reserve that offers walking paths all the way into Porto (by car about a 30 minute highway drive, so have good shoes...).
The apartment has everything you can wish for. three comfortable beds, and a nice kitchen with most of what you need. Everything was clean and tidy when we arrived.
The shared pool is AMAZING. 25x10m, and not busy at all, which means both my wife and I got to exercise.
Someone had written about the electrical sockets below, which I found alarmist: they are old style European flat sockets without earth/ground, meaning they are just as bad as the modern US sockets. While a pretty bad socket by modern standards it is hardly a death trap for kids. All wet areas have modern sockets with earth/ground.
Domingos was available on what seemed like all hours. He was very friendly and helpful.
All in all: we were extremely happy! It is a wonderful place to have as a base for exploring the region. or to just hang out and enjoy Azurara.
