I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. It's a wonderfully comfortable home, with a spectacular view. We walked everywhere. What a pleasure to be on the Vila Nova de Gaia side of the river, with its charming riverfront, great restaurants and the wine caves, watching the lights on the Porto side coming on at dusk. Ricardo is the Perfect Host, and by all means, do have Nelson chauffeur your party into the Douro Valley for the day.
