It was really a pleasure to be able to live in Maria's house and enjoy the rich culture of it. It is not at all just a holiday house, it is obvious that the house has really 'lived' in the generations that it has been in her family. Maria is helpful in any way she can and even drove us to a restaurant one night, and picked us up again.

The beach is just 5 minutes away, and the railway station to Porto and Aveiro is around the corner. That makes it perfectly situated to enjoy both the sea and the sights of Porto and places around it.
I really hope to get a chance to go back.
