Joao is the perfect host. We arrived before Christmas and Joao was able to provide our family with a warm loving and environment that made our holiday celebration feel right at home. The patio is amazing and even though it rained nearly everyday, we still had the most amazing time. You are about 5 minutes by car to the rio douro or 15-20 min by walking. The building is unique and has a combination of commercial space and residential (on all floors). Perfect space for our family of 3. Boas festas!!
