We have just arrived back from a truly wonderful stay in Porto. The house was absolutely brilliant; an eclectic mix of period and modern with a pretty courtyard garden to catch the sun ! Beds were very comfortable and rooms were spacious. It was a really great base for exploring the whole city and also the river area; just a few minutes walk from the metro with a direct line to & from the airport. There were supermarkets, fruit stalls, a chemist , a cash-dispenser and restaurants all within a few minutes walk from the house.
The hosts were extremely helpful and friendly, welcoming us and explaining the best ways of seeing all that Porto has to offer, from Port Lodges to restaurants, sights of interest to River cruises, electric-bike hire, train trips etc, etc. [We had a fabulous day out to Guimares on the train ] Taylors port lodge runs an excellent tour & tasting, a boat ride along the Duoro was great.
Thank you so much Sara and Phillip for welcoming us and making our stay so memorable [also for the port wine and natas ....yum.yum!] We shall definitely recommend it to our friends !
