This is a small but beautiful apartment right next to the Douro river on the southern Gaia side with lovely views over to Porto. It is well equipped for self catering and has a comfortable double bed. It is a delight to wake up and watch the dawn happen at this time of the year (early to mid January) and the sunshine start to move across the buildings over the river. This apartment would really suit keen walkers and runners because there is a wooden walkway outside that overhangs the river and you can quickly follow it out to the fishing village at Afurada and go further out to follow the coast. Walking the other way you reach the Port wine warehouse area near the Luis I Bridge in about 10 minutes. The apartment is based in a converted warehouse and is a fascinating and quiet location. It is very clean and warm and Sofia gave us a great welcome along with some very tasty port wine! It was a great base for a week of exploring Gaia and Porto on foot. Thank you for having us!
