On the outskirts of the historic areas, the garden house is a glass box in the plot and a lush, exotic tropical garden where Jorge lives also.
The furniture and building of a high spec finish. It is very quiet and a safe area there but compact and the tiny shower and loo up some steps. Jorge left some gorgeous fruit and Port for our welcome pack. He recommended some great value restaurants, bakery and suggestions where to visit on our trips. Very close to the Metro and about 1/2 hr walk from the Douro River.
If you plan to self cater and want for milk for your coffees etc then the small local super markets open at 9 and close early. Wi-Fi is unsecured.
