Maria’s house is beautiful, very spacious and comfortable and has everything you need in the kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms. The views from the windows are delightful.
You can walk to the beach in a few minutes, we enjoyed an evening walk along the boardwalk to one of the local cafes or a meal in nearby restaurants.
We took the train into Porto, only a few stops and easy once you work out that one of the ticket machines has an English translation.
Some of our group used the lido, which is right on the sea front, but you need to get there early.
Maria arranged taxis to and from the airport for us which was a great help, I do hope we can go back again.
