This is a lovely relaxing and private place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of central Porto, but close to the People’s Park, Matosinhos beach and shopping, dining area, and the wonderful Jardim de Serralves park, house and contemporary art gallery. The hosts are wonderful, accommodating and helpful. The cottage is clean, comfortable and peaceful - a perfect haven. Visiting the city is easy by bus, and the beach is a 15 to 20 minutes stroll. Beautiful food to be had at O Lusitano at Matosinhos and great coffee and pastries just up the road at Alfa cafe. We loved this place.
