Booking and communication with Ana was very easy. The cottage itself is a lovely place with a spacious garden, and had a well stocked kitchen if you preferred to cook for yourself - although once you taste real Portuguese food you might want to leave the cooking to the locals :) We also enjoyed cooling off in the pool on the hot afternoons.
We found the the location perfect. Slightly outside of Porto Town, it has a relaxed air without the hustle and bustle of the city, but close enough to access everything you need very easily. The attractions of central Porto are close, and if you love Port and intend to spent time visiting the Port Cellars, then you basically cant get a better location. One of the biggest Port Cellars is in front of the property. The Atlantic Ocean and many beaches are 10 minutes away by car. There are bakeries, cafes and mini-markets in the areas surrounding the property, as well as a BBQ restaurant that is crowded with locals come lunchtime. And there is even a little fisherman's village about 30 mins walk/couple of minutes drive away that is full of excellent seafood restaurants. So much to do, so little time.
Ana and her family gave us our privacy, but was there when we needed some assistance or recommendations and to answer any questions. We really enjoyed our time in Porto, and would love to return to stay in the future.
Oh and for those concerned about Covid - Ana wore a mask and kept a respectful distance when talking to us. There was hand sanitizer provided in the property for us to use. We felt very safe here.
