We had a great time at Bernardo's in Vila Nova de Gaia. It is very relaxing and peaceful and only 5 mins walk from the beach. You can hire boards & wetsuits should you wish to surf.
The beach house is very well looked after, spacious and has very comfortable beds.
A great place to setup base for travels further afield with good public transport routes to the surrounding area and the City of Porto. Easiest by car (6 mins to City) with secure place to park or local bus stop just down the road (expect 30 min journey to closest metro/train).
Bernardo's mum Suzana makes you feel really at home and can suggest some of the nicest places to eat, local hotspots and local events & nightlife worth checking out.
A great stay and would definitely visit again. Thank you
