Located in a very cozy and energetic location. Sun, ocean, nature. Walking distance to supermarket with fresh fish and some nice restaurants. Uber or bus are good to reach Porto city, you can also walk there along the ocean (2 hrs walk or 30 min cycle). Simple house, had everything I needed, and I could always ask Suzana and Bernardo if I needed something else. Amazing people, who care, the place that attracts community of interesting people from all Europe. And the dogs are really sweet.
I was having breakfasts on a sunny terrace and dinners under the sky full of stars, enjoyed the home cooking once again, shared lovely chats with Susanna, played with the dog, enjoyed the ocean, took the surfing classes. Susanna even cooked for me a traditional Portuguese soup, once she found out I wanted to try it. Actually I liked Gaya city not less then Porto (which was the initial goal). Definitely come back.
If you are looking for surf - Bernardo is already a reason to come to this place. A great teacher. Clear instructing, calm, entrusting and knowing what he does. It was my first time surfing and i got to stand on the board within first hour. Highly recommended.
If you are looking for enjoying simple things and nature - this place is a gem.
If you look for a funky hotel experience in a pulsating city life or a place to party - probably have a look at Porto downtown.
