We had a wonderful stay here during July. The house is beautiful and very well equipped with plenty of quirky rooms and details, and the gardens are stunning! We were even able to pick fresh plums from the trees which were delicious. The pool is a brilliant size and very welcome in the summer heat. Helena was a brilliant host and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and help us out with any queries.
The village has all the key amenities you’d need, with a supermarket and bakery just a short 5-10min walk away (quicker on the way there as it’s uphill on the way back!).
It was about a 30 min taxi to get to all the main sights of Porto and Gaia, which was made easy by using the Uber and Bolt apps. As a group of six we travelled in seven seater taxis at a cost of about €30 per journey, which worked out cheaper than the cost of renting a car for the three days we went into Porto. It’s also very easy (30 min drive) to get to and from the airport.
Would definitely recommend staying in this beautiful home!
