Séjour pour nouvel an

Un séjour que nous qualifieront d'inoubliable. Le logement au top. L'accueil formidable. Le quartier et ses habitants super agréable. Le père du propriétaire qui nous à accueilli à était super disponible et de bon conseil malgré la barrière de la langue. La prestation avec changement des serviettes en cours de séjour fort appréciable. Nous reviendrons très certainement.

Best place in Porto for travel with family

The house locates in great river side with tons of awesome restaurants nearby. The beds are very comfortable enough for up to 8 peoples. Host is super nice, he even provides a bottle of Port wine for your enjoyment. Communication is little bit hard with limited English, but everything was fun. Highly recommended!!

Hébergements de qualité

Accueil des plus chaleureux par José et son frère Florian qui nous ont mis à l'aise tout de suite, comme des amis. Leurs conseils sur les visites possibles, la documentation sur place nous ont été précieux. Nous avons été agréablement surpris par la maison car nous n'avons jamais vu un équipement si complet et de qualité (y compris café, ingrédients divers de 1ere nécessité sans entrer dans le détail...). Et le cadeau de bienvenue : 1 bouteille de Porto Impeccablement tenue, bravo !!!!
