Perfect location and a wonderful host. Miguel was incredibly helpful on arrival, pointing out some great local places to eat and drink, and even showed us into the town, stopping by a wonderful lookout to enjoy the view over the river on the way. He really went above and beyond - and the bottle of Port opened to welcome us was a particularly lovely touch.
As for the apartment itself, you could not get a better view! In a quiet location right on the riverfront, you can lie in bed and watch the boats travel down the Duoro and see across to the wineries in Vila Nova de Gaia!
The amenities and appliances are new and modern - all set in a gorgeous traditional apartment with exposed walls and wrought iron balcony.
We have been dreaming of being back there ever since we left!
