We had a wonderful stay at Vila Nova de Gaia. We used the shuttle service to take us to the house. Bernardo's mama showed us different beautiful places and gave us tips where to eat, drink and what to do. Suzanne was very kind. The house wasn't big, but definitly big enough for 2. It was clean, cozy with a very beautiful terras. It was 10 minutes to walk to the beach and 2 minutes to the bus. In a half hour you are in Porto! The place by it self was serene. We would recommend it to everybody!
