Gaia is across the river from Porto; a short ride to downtown but away from the throngs of tourists. The beach and beach restaurants are a five minute walk from the house. Joaquim was a wonderful host and the accommodations felt like a five star hotel. we would definitely stay here again.
The property is a luxury accommodation on an estate property three blocks from gorgeous beaches, managed by experts. A car is helpful for visiting Porto but we had a car and used FreeNow and Uber instead because they were cheaper than Porto parking. Everything in the apartment is as advertised and more.
Great location and wonderful new home located on the 100-year-old family estate with pool. Joajuim is a wonderful very professional and proud owner of the home. He provided us with tasteful vegetables from his garden along with a 20-year-old Port that is close to his heart. We had our 2 grandsons who enjoyed the large green grass yard along with the family estate pool. If there is a negative, it is the gate getting in and out on the busy road. it takes a little extra attention. The location to the beach is 1-2 blocks with a view of the Atlantic ocean from your porch! The Sunsets are the best! Don't miss out on this one.
It is a very comfortable and beautifully maintained house. Everything is new and of high quality. The kitchen is perfectly equipped and the bathrooms very modern and nice.
There is a big and splendid garden with a lot of love to every detail.
And above all, Joaquim is a perfect host who treats his guests as family members.
We cherished the time spent there and enjoyed the proximity to the ocean & the promenade very much.
Highly recommend the house to everybody.
