Bernado is a great host! He let us checked in early and he responded fast to our messages. I like the fact that it is a gated home and has exclusive parking space. The room has great amenities and we cooked our dinners over there. The stores are few minutes drive and HAS the best seafood selection!!!! Dining out is not expensive at all in Porto but if you like to eat and cook esp. seafoods, I recommend to purchase food in the store and have a cook out. Unfortunately, when we stayed in Porto for two days, it was raining and cold. We could've done a barbecue and stay outside and drink. I am sure sunny days are way better in Vila de Nova de Gaia. Bernardo has surfing materials that you can rent as well (for reasonable prices). This is a place for you if you are a beach lover, like to surf, unwind and experience the amazing Porto!
PS. Bernardo will recommend you to the restaurants that he personally likes, and you should try it because we did and enjoyed it very much esp. restaurant S. Valentim.
