We were absolutely amazed by Francisco and Isabel's place. The photos look incredible and I didn't actually think the place could be this good however the house is better in real life than the photos.
The location is really good, a ten minute drive from the airport and about 30-40 minute drive into Porto. You can also drive to Braga, Guimaraes and just go around the area. Porto is easy to drive to and relatively cheap to park. There is also a metro stop about a 15 minute walk from the house which takes about 40 minutes to the centre of Porto.
The place is so fantastic that you may not want to leave it. So quiet, relaxing and huge. Really clean and with lots of little touches. It felt like we had our own private 5 star hotel. A ten minute drive from the house takes you to Vilar Do Pinheiro where you have supermarkets and a shopping centre.
We didn't find many restaurants close to the house although there is a great cafe for lunch which is close by. There is a service here where food can be delivered to the house, we found this really useful. Cheaper than a restaurant and you can have it outside in the garden with the sun shining on you, or next to the pool!
Everything you need is in the house, hair dryers in every room, en suite in every room etc. There is so much space. The pool is great and there is even a games room with darts and a pool table.
We will definitely come back. We loved the place and would recommend to anyone. We do AirBnB across the world and this is the best place we have ever stayed in.
Lastly, the hosts are great so attentive, kind and thoughtful. They respond immediately to any requests but ultimately let you have the house to yourselves. Some AirBnB's feel like staying in other people's homes but this one really feels like your own home for the holiday.
