About this property
Next to the Douro river, near the beach and the historic centers.
Near the historic center of Porto and the Port Wine Cellars, in a quiet fishing village, near the river, the sea and the beaches. One can enjoy nature and tourism while being close to Porto's main tourist and historical sites.
The house was built around 1930 and was renovated in 2013. It is a typical house in a location with a privileged view over the right bank of the Douro river and the city of Porto. Located in Afurada, a small fishing village in Vila Nova de Gaia, within walking distance of Porto's Historic Center and Porto Wine Cellars.
A short distance from Douro Marina and near the Douro Estuary Nature Reserve, located on the south bank of the river. The reserve is the place for the shelter and nesting of many birds. A perfect place for bird watchers and nature photographers. There are many restaurants, small supermarkets and bakeries in the area.
Ground floor (38 m2): Kitchen, Dining room, WC with bath and shower and storage.
Upper floor (38 m2): 2 bedrooms and living room with sofa bed.
The house is equipped with: microwave, toaster, kettle, blender, fridge, kitchenware, iron, bed linen and towels, vacuum cleaner and heaters.
