This is an extraordinary property. It looks great in the photos. Wait until you walk up the driveway. It feels like a rock star’s private oasis. Tasteful, secluded and beautifully finished throughout but also just 10m from the airport, 15m from glorious beaches and 20m from Porto central. Francisco and Isabel are perfect hosts that settle you in and then offer as much or as little help that you need. You’ll wake to warm bread delivered every morning and struggle to pull yourself away from the property to experience the delights of Portugal. Head to the coast or Porto for best ‘local’ restaurants - look up Salitre, Pedro Alta and Fornalha for classy seafood, enormous sharing shellfish platters and delicious pizzas/steaks respectively. If golden silence is your thing, ambient noise is the sole compromise here. You’ll hear some aircraft, so road noise and village life. Really though, you won’t care. This place is bloody awesome.
