We have just returned from a brilliant 14 day break here.
We got there early and were allowed to ‘check in’, with a warm welcome and a bottle of wine and water from Fernando.
It was a perfect base to walk a few minutes to the beach (invest in a wind break as it is very windy most days, which means you stay cooler on the beach and therefore can stay there for longer 👍), and a 15-20 minute bus ride into Porto or up to Matosinhos (it is the No 500 and goes up and down the coast road).
A supermarket 5 mins away and a lovely fruit and veg shop on the way too.
We felt we had the best of both worlds, Porto during the dayand sunbathing from 4-7pm weather permitting. If it was over cast there is more than enough to do in Porto.
All in all we loved it and would highly recommend the accommodation and Porto as a holiday destination.
