we had a lovely stay at Vila nova de gaia. location is amazing. especially if you enjoy having a great view. the triplex is very spacious and perfect for a family with kids as they had a high chair, portacot and, as the living was upstairs, we could enjoy a glass of wine at night without worrying if the kids were going to wake up with the noise. kitchen was fully equipped with everything you need. the apartment was 5 min by car to the market and several restaurants which was very convenient. we loved our stay and couldn't recommend it highly enough.
