Exceptional value for money, this is an incredibly beautiful and thoughtfully crafted home with gorgeous views onto the Douro river and Porto beyond. We loved watching the sun rise with a coffee on the balcony in the morning (and even sometimes from the bath!) Luis provided everything that we needed for our stay (coffee, milk, cupboard staples, etc) and even treated us to some welcoming Portuguese nibbles and wine (the pumpkin and walnut jam was a firm favourite of ours!). This home is situated a stones throw away from all of the fantastic port cellars on offer in Gaia (particularly Grahams), and is just far away from the touristy hustle and bustle to provide a calm and tranquil escape. There is a restaurant downstairs which offers great value for freshly caught seafood, and just 10 mins walk away (along the beautiful riverside) is one of the best cafes that we found on our holiday - 7g, where you can re-stock up on coffee to use in Luis' stove-top coffee maker that he provides. Thank you Luis for an unforgettable stay in your stunning home!
