About this property

Floating House in a private marina 25 min from Porto

The "Floating Experience" houseboat is anchored in a marina in Povoa de Varzim, a quaint ocean-side city in the north of Portugal that is famous for its beaches, fresh food, and a culture dominated by the sea. The serenity and exclusivity of the marina in Povoa de Varzim is the perfect place to stay, and is just a 25 min drive or a short metro ride away from the vibrant lifestyle of Porto.
