I highly recommend Paulo's house! It was just as described - right over the Duoro river with amazing views from every bedroom window! The patio is perfect for enjoying the view and the private location. It was perfect for our group of 9, but there was PLENTY of room for many more. Perfectly located for walking to restaurants in Gaia or across the bridge in Porto. Paulo was an amazing host - great communication, lots of little extras in the house that were so nice, great advice on local restaraunts and things to do - really couldn't have asked for anything else!
