Ruca is a terrific host and her garden house is an amazing place to visit. From the moment we arrived in Granja, Ruca provided a warm welcome. She was very considerate and helpful, assisting us with our plans and sharing with us some of her family's port. What a treat! The house is very well located along a beautiful stretch of beach. It's very large and comfortable, easily accommodating our group of 6. We enjoyed fires in the living room, strolls through the garden and walks along the beach. Just a short train ride away, we explored Porto and found Ruca's place the perfect home to return to. It was indeed a highlight of our visit to Portugal. And it was a special privilege to meet Ruca.
