This cozy home is located right out of the city. It is a peaceful area, but close enough to enjoy the hustle and bustle of the city. The home is beautiful and clean. Our family of 5 stayed here comfortably. Many cafe's around the house with fabulous home made authentic foods. A couple of small markets in this area too. The bus service is far and few between so walking is a must, but enjoyable as you walk along the Douro River to downtown Gaia. Or you can take the river taxi across to Porto. The locals are so friendly and helped me learn some Portuguese!! I highly reccomend staying here.
