We just spent 5 days in Porto, and our home base was Elisa's beautiful ocean house. When you arrive, the magnificent Atlantic ocean greets you first! Once you enter the house, you feel right at home. This is a 3-bedroom home with a well-equipped kitchen, dining room, and living room with a wood burning stove that kept us warm and cozy at night. We walked along the ocean, went to the local grocery store (there is a great butcher next to it, too), and enjoyed two meals at a bakery/restaurant a few blocks from the house.
Unfortunately, we were there during the cooler winter days, so we couldn't enjoy the nice terrace facing the ocean.
Easy trip to Porto's downtown and good location to go on day trips to surrounding regions.
We were very lucky to have found Elisa's place and highly recommend it, especially for a large family or group. We would like to visit again one day in the summer.
