What a fantastic Airbnb experience. Alexandra and her family are a true credit to Airbnb!
Four of us (English) stayed in this house in August - we were met for check-in despite arriving really late and found the house had everything we needed, with lovely touches like homemade cakes on arrival.
We didn't hire a car and were a tad worried about getting about, but it wasn't a problem at all. We were able to get an Uber from the airport to the house and were very lucky to meet Paulo, who was able to pick us up from the house and take us into Porto whenever we needed at a good rate (his contact details are in the guest book in the house if you need them!) There is a supermarket directly opposite the house which has almost everything you could need, including a tiny cafe/bakery with great cakes! If you need more specific items, there is another supermarket in walking distance as well as a Lidl and a Continente a short car drive away.
We enjoyed many evening meals at the house as the kitchen had everything we needed and there is even a great BBQ area outside and plenty of outdoor seating, you can sit somewhere different every night!
The pool is fantastic! There's beach towels at the house too which is ideal for losing some extra weight in your suitcase! Loads of really comfy sun loungers and lots of parasols and the grounds are huge, meaning you can wander around (or have a bike ride) to go and see the different animals!
There are two train stations nearby Oleiros and Paredes, which can take you straight into Porto from a couple of Euros! Alexandra's family was very kind in recommending great places to eat/drink in the city.
We visiting the Amarante Water Park which was great and only 30 minutes away - get there early to avoid the big queues!
I couldn't recommend this place enough - it's simply paradise.
