In an ideal world you would wish every accomodation, everywhere, would be like the apartment at Casa do Golgota, where we stayed 7 days, last week.
Entering the terrace in front of this recently restaured and beautifully decorated house; you'll be overwhelmed by the atmosphere and magnificent view over the city and the Douro river; you can even see the ocean.
The apartments are stylish, comfortable, "gezellig" and there's everything you could ask for, even for a longer stay, like we did.
Wifi, dish washer, washing machine and dryer, you name it; it's there. Everything inside is to a high standard and tasteful.

But most of all it's the Host: Marcos, who makes the stay special.
He clearly loves receiving his guests, he loves his house and city, he is knowledgeable, and not only about wine. He will be very helpfull when asked where to go, what to visit, where to eat, or about the history of Porto. We had to leave early for our flight back home: Marcos arranged a taxi waiting for us at the bottom of the stairs. This is how hospitallity can be; obrigado Marcos.

Being just a 15 minute walk outside the city centre, you'll be amazed how tranquil it is up there on Rua do Golgota. We slept very well in comfortable beds.

And while you're there : ask Marcos if you can buy one of his sparkling wines: it equals the quality of the appartment easily.
What better way to end a day strolling through Porto, than sitting on the terrace in front of the casa, watching the river flow with a superb glass of Marcos's delicious champagne style wine.
We'll be back; that's for sure !
