Granja Guesthouse is a magical place and Aline and Igor are just wonderful hosts.
The guesthouse is a ground floor of a amazing villa with a beautiful garden. This dreamy place is perfectly located just by the beach so to have your morning coffee with a ocean view. The garden is full of flowers and plants and it's taken care of daily by the gardner. To make things even more awesome - it has a big swimming pool in the middle where you can enjoy its perfectly clean, warm water all day or all night (still looking at the ocean,which is just behind the fence). What is more - in the garden you are being asisted by the most lovely Aqua and Luma - two beautiful doggo girls who will show you around, play with you and great you everytime you great them. The place is just a perfect escape spot for everyone who want to get away from the city, crowds or just anything. Peacful, dreamy, incerdible. Aline and Igor are really helpful and make sure you have everything you need. You can use big and fully equipped kitchen and dining room.
Granja guesthouse's interior is full of stylish antique furniture, which also creates a peacfull 'get-a-way' mood. The villa's perfect location doeas not end on the ocean view garden with swimming pool. It takes only a minute to walk to the Granja City Train station, where you can commute easily to Porto and other destinantions ( 15min. ride, 1,80euro to Porto every 30minutes, you really couldn't ask for more). There's a store just 5minutes away where you find your daily products and a big selection of local wines (which are delicious!).
The beach itself (located just literaly 5meters away from the garden!) is also wonderful. Long, various, oceanic, peacfull, in some places deserted.
There's a great wooden running track on the dunes - so ocean view morning runs? Checked!
About 300m away (still on the beach) you will find a pizzeria restaurant St. Martin with good, fresh coffee and delicious pizza.
To sum up: Dreamy, magical, get-away, escape place. For those living in noisy cities - Incredible location. Alina and Igor are awesome. Aqua and Luma will be very much missed.
Defintaley will come back asap.
