For the price António giving us, we enjoyed a five star hotel experience! We could find everything we want. Gaia + Douro River + boathouse making the journey more authentic. Glad we made this choice!
Also, the community of where the boat live in is also very convenient. There are receptionist to help us print the boarding pass. There are high quality restaurants just next to us, providing us iced lattes and morning croissant to enjoy on the deck.
The bonus of living in this boat is we could walk to a bird-watching natural resort and the gorgeous beach in 20 mins. This is the touristic information António kindly provide us, but still big surprise for us when we eventually set off and see it.
