A fine spacious house in an area of outstanding beauty with an excellent views of the river and very good restaurant close by. The surrounding area is delightful and there are lovely towns close by but a car is probably essential. It is a 40min bus ride into Porto.
However, we experienced problems re heating and water during our stay. We had no hot water at all for the first 20 hrs. Sinks in the downstairs bathroom and one upstairs bathroom ran only cold water.
During our stay (first week in June) the weather was very inclement - several very wet days that were cool. We didn't have ready access to fuel for most of the time we spent there and were unable to buy any despite numerous trips to a number of supermarkets near and far. Given the weather the house was uncomfortable and cold without a fire.
We arrived around 8 pm thirsty and peckish. There was no milk, bread or coffee.We were directed to a supermarket, 20 mins walk along a main road but when we got there the supermarket was closed!
You might bear this in mind if you are arriving here in the evening.
Some clarity is needed about what is available and what is not eg fuel. Attention to the problem with the water alongside a little more hospitality could make this a fabulous place to stay.
