Rural Tourism House, COURTYARD HOUSE

Great place, very homely atmosphere with Joaquim being a perfect host. Close to the beach, could hear the ocean at night which was lovely. Accommodation had everything that we needed for our stay, well equipped kitchen and barbecue outside. Very quiet area but close to seafront cafes and restaurants. Short ride to centre of Porto and Afurada fishing village serving delicious seafood. Would definitely recommend, we have enjoyed every minute of being there. Excellent stay!!!!

Just perfect for my stay. With a warm welcome from Joaquim, i took a moment to take in the tranquil setting in a beautiful garden and the perfect apartment with everything I could possibly need. The location is 10/10, a few minutes to the beach and restaurants and a short taxi ride to fabulous Porto. Joaquim is so kind and helpful and i couldn't recommend a stay here highly enough. If it's available snap it up!

We enjoyed our time here. The place was very clean and the property was lovely. The host was very welcoming and he made us feel at home. We would highly recommend this place to stay. It is about a 20 min Uber ride from the historical area of Porto.

Joaquim is a very gracious host. He is very friendly and knowledgable about the area. His property is beautiful and very peaceful. We hightly recommend that you stay here.

We were greeted warmly by Joaquim. He explained everything in our apartment and around the property. We’ve stayed in many properties and Joaquim was the best ever introduction. The property had everything we needed and all was very clean and in good condition. The property was in a great location and was ideally placed for visiting Porto and Douro valley, Aveiro and Braga. We had a wonderful time.

This quaint property is very close to the ocean and all that Villa Gaia offers. The owner lives onsite and was easy to contact via app. We enjoyed our stay and will visit again when in the area.

What an amazing little couples retreat, had a fabulous time in the pool and private garden. Own entrance in and out of property. Beautiful surroundings and lots to do. Clean, tidy and well presented property, will definitely be back. Local amenities good and bus straight to Porto City, good travel connections via metro.

We were lucky to find such a wonderful property and owner. The beach is only a couple blocks away, as are multiple restaurants and a grocery store. The host knew all about the area and the history, and was very helpful. We'll be back.

We enjoyed the time very much. Joaquim ist a very nice host and helpful with everything. The small flat has everything you need and is very clean and cozy. Outdoor area is beautiful with a small pool, BBQ and a hammock. The beach is close (5 min walk) but it was a little bit too cold and windy. We would definitely come back. Thank you Joaquim, also for your tips and recommendations.

We have spent 4 days in this beautiful location. Joaquim and his wife have been the perfect host - they have been asking for help everyday. They were very kind and gently and they have really given us the feeling being at home. The location is seperated from the main house. It is not very big but you've got everything you need :) Every morning we enjoyed our breakfast outside in the beautiful garden. The location is directly on to beach. It takes 40 minutes by bus to the city centre and it is a lovely 1,5 hours walk along the river. Absolutely recommendable for a trip to Porto!! :)
