The stay in Vila nova de Gaia was fantastic. The Pool is great and clean, the farm is sweet and you have a lot of privacy there. The beach isn't far away, eventhough you have to walk a bit along the rocks till you get to the sand beach.
We loved it there very much and will hopefully come back someday. Paula is very nice, she even picked us up in Porto with the car and gave us advises about Porto. Especially June is a very good time to go there, because sao Joao and sao Pedro are the Holidays at the end of June and it's a big celebration over many days. Except that the Place is very calm and peaceful. I can just tell you to get there!!
