This is the third time that I have stayed with Elis and her wonderfully warm and open hearted family. I have made this decision because it feels like she has welcomed me into her family. The friendliness and genuine human connection that she creates with her guests and their needs is absolutely palpable. If you want your space, it will definitely be respected. If you want to engage in a discussion about life in Porto or Brazil, you can definitely have such a discussion. If you need some flexibility, she is willing to accommodate as much as she can. The room smells so nice and all the amenities are available. Breakfast really feels like a buffet in that it is pleintiful and diverse.
So kind, so open, a family feel, a great location and most importantly the human connection is what I truly value about Elis and her family.
