Diogo is truly an amazing host! He is such a warm and welcoming person it was always nice to have a chat with him. While being always there for you and also texting back within minutes, he also respects your privacy.
The place Diogo created is just stunning and the sourroundings exceeded our expectations! Relaxing in the sun amidst beautiful trees and so many lovely flowers while listening to the river and the birds was perfect. When it got too cold outside, the fireplace inside created a cosy atmosphere while watching the sun set. There were also lots of animals around (cats, new born kittens, dogs) which was a great bonus for us. But do not worry if you are not too fond of animals, Diogo's dogs are inside his fenced garden/mostly in his house and the cats do not bother you, they only approach you if you are patient and actively trying to get near to them.
The location of the glasshouse is also great! If you rent/have a car it only takes you about 20 minutes to get to the nearby cities and beaches (Vila do conde, Povoa de varzim) and to the airport. It also does not take long to go to Porto (about 40 minutes) and there is also a beautiful national park about an hour away.
All in all we had a great time at Diogo's glasshouse and can highly recommend a stay! Also, definitely try the kayaking, it is so much fun and beginner friendly since the river is very calm.
