House in the Historic center with view the Douro river 3 bedroom 2 bathrooms

Wonderful house with the most amazing hostess. Easy walk to downtown. Great for families.

First off. Clara is a super host. She is so helpful and accommodating. The apartment is in such a great location in Vila da Gaia and its a short walk down to the river or to the port houses, but it is not in a touristy location at all. There is a stellar padaria around the corner for your morning coffee treats and daily bread. The apartment is roomy and the upper floor skylight view is idyllic and iconic. All the essentials are included and we were very comfortable. Again, Clara, thanks for everything. We loved it!

Clara is a wonderful host! She welcomed us with cake and port, gave us excellent recommendations, and was very responsive. The house was spotless and had everything we needed. The decor is beautiful. It’s an easy walk downhill to the center of town and a bakery, coffee shop, and market are around the corner. Two in our party are birders and they were birdwatching from the upstairs Juliet balcony. I hope we can return!

YesClara, it's a great host everything on time you're welcome with cake and Porta recommend to everyone only 10 minutes walk to the waterfront with great restaurants for any budget.

Our stay at Clara’s home was nothing short of exceptional, far beyond 5 stars! From the moment we arrived, she greeted us with genuine warmth, gave us a thoughtful house tour, and even surprised us with a delicious homemade cake and a bottle of port wine.Clara went above and beyond as a host throughout our stay. She arranged a fantastic walking tour for us and even helped us communicate with the guide when our Uber made us late. She also secured dinner reservations at a hidden gem of a fado restaurant that we would have never found on our own which was an unforgettable highlight of our trip.Her hospitality, attention to detail, and personal touches made us feel so welcome and cared for. We’ve stayed in many rentals, but Clara truly sets the gold standard for hosting. We would return in a heartbeat and recommend her place to anyone looking for an extraordinary stay.

Beautiful and spacious place. Great and friendly service. Hilly area.

What an excellent location for our stay in Porto. The host was extremely helpful and responsive. She made sure that we were taken care of during our trip. Not just in the beginning when she greeted us with port and cake but throughout our trip. With this being the kids first international trip, this was very helpful even if we didn't need anything at the time. We would stay here again and again if we are in the area again. Thanks for the best porto experience, cheers!

We were met with very friendly people, Clara the property owner, really helped with suggestions that made our trip so enjoyable.

What a perfect introduction to Portugal! Thank you for making your wonderful home available to us. We really appreciated the warm welcome, the apple cake and port at check in. And thank you for the many recommendations – for where to eat, what to see and where to shop were very much appreciated. The highlight was the Fado restaurant that you guided us to, which was memorable in more ways than one. As for your home, it is such a gem! The combination of old-world charm and witty and creative touches (like the lamps!) really made for a memorable experience. We have stayed at many rental apartments around the world, and this is not one that we will forget!

Clara was very kind to meet us at her home upon our arrival. Also, she treated us with her delicious homemade cake together with port. Clara has a lovely historic house with all the modern features and conveniences.

An excellent location for a stay in Porto. The host was extremely helpful and responsive. We were welcomed to her home with a fresh baked cake and some Port. We will look to stay here again for our next trip to Porto.

The property was clean and lovely! Clara the host is warm, welcoming and very helpful.

Property is great and as advertised. Host was awesome and very accomodating. I would only add that this is in Gaia and a bit of a walk to Porto. It was not a big deal for us and it’s still very nice. But, it could be something to consider for some people. We would defiantly stay here again if ever back in the area.
