I have been in Oporto many times, as I live in the mountains nearby. This area however is new to me. This location is really nice, lovely houses, restaurants, and views of the river and Porto itself at the other side of the shores. Walking to the port wine area is about 40 minutes, taxis are cheap. The house itself is an old fishermans house. If you would like to stay here in winter ask Jorge if he has put in some more heating devices! It was near freezing inside the house! Thanks for a lovely stay Jorge.
