About this property
Azulejo Riverside House & Balcony by HostWise
Summary:
Wake to river-kissed light in a blue-tiled townhouse where Nordic calm meets Portuguese soul. Perfect for families, friends or remote-work couples, the home’s star is a sunny veranda overlooking the Douro—ideal for lazy breakfasts and sunset toasts. Three cosy bedrooms for six, chic bathrooms and an inviting living area promise comfort after wander-filled days.
The Space:
Important Note About the Flooring
The property has a wooden floor structure, which is naturally flexible. Therefore, in some areas, you may feel a slight movement when walking, as if the floor is "giving way."
This is a construction feature of the building, not a defect. The flooring is safe and is regularly checked by the maintenance team.
Enter through ruby doors to patterned floors and a lounge that flows toward a turquoise-tiled kitchen, fully stocked plus dishwasher and washer. Upstairs, a queen room and two twin rooms with pull-out trundles nestle beneath exposed beams in warm maple panelling. Two hotel-style bathrooms sparkle in hexagon blues, while a handy extra WC waits downstairs. Slide open glass doors to dine alfresco as boats glide past the rooftops.
Guest Access:
All house space and amenities are included in this booking. Feel completely at home.
The Neighborhood:
Set on Rua Agostinho Albano in Afurada, the house is surrounded by fishermen’s shouts, grill-smoke sardine stalls and façades of every colour. Stroll five minutes to the river promenade, hop the ferry to Porto’s Ribeira, or cycle along flat paths to Atlantic beaches. Supermarkets, cafés and the 903 bus to the city centre sit moments away, yet nighttime brings tranquil village hush.
