Loved our week at Casa da Foz. Weather better than expected. Great location, house in an old area of Foz with lots of character (bit scary if driving a car because of the very narrow, steep streets) but felt very safe and local people out in the streets all very friendly. Only a 5 - 10 min walk away from either Douro riverside or the sea. Good public transport link into city centre, Had a 2 year old child and Sonia had left a nice selection of suitable toys. Because of the toddler we were not out late at night and it was nice to have somewhere comfy and homely to relax in the evenings. Nice touch to leave a phone with direct contact in case we needed advice/help and Sonia and Ricardo's daughter, Mariana helped us out a couple of times, Couple of excellent food shops close by, had to keep trying the cakes and pastries!! First time in Portugal but we will be back.
