This house is unique as it brings you extremely close to the city but allows you the feeling of being in the countryside. It is situated halfway between the city of Porto and Gaia's stunning beaches. It is near all major shopping malls, supermarkets, and local shops. It also offers a large outdoor living space with a large newly built barbecue. Enjoy spilling out into the kitchen terrace, overlooking a marvellous Portuguese Eucalyptus wood. The house also offers safe and free parking.
The municipality of Vila Nova de Gaia has just released a new tax (city tax), which charges €2,5 per person, per night. It applies to guests with an age equal or above 16, and for a maximum of 7 nights.
The comfortable, uncluttered living room has a real wood fireplace (not needed in the summer but very cosy at other times of the year). It also contains a grand piano and a stunning bookcase.
The barbecue area, with a large pizza oven, is a spacious, private and welcoming outdoor living space, and it can be used all year round. Enjoy barbecuing fresh fish from a local market, eating a freshly baked pizza or even a traditional Sunday roast!
I have a beautiful lemon tree, and you are welcome to use lemons for seasoning fish and salads or for making refreshing drinks!
This lovely house is ideal for a large family or two, three, four (or even five!) couples travelling together.

Due to the quiet nature of my residential area, my home isn't ideal for parties. I must keep noise and loud music to a minimum after 10:30 PM.

My name is Artur, I am from Porto and I am a concert pianist. At the moment I live and work in Manchester, England, which is a great place to pursue a music career.
Apart from performing and teaching, I love reading, travelling, and spending quality time with family and friends.
I like meeting new people and hearing about their cultures as well as their personal experiences.
I am a very easygoing guy. I love to cook and have a good conversation over a glass of wine.
