There is a very pleasant and exclusive open green area with benches, a swimming pool, chairs, fruit trees, an orchid greenhouse, and a herb garden. During the day you can hear and observe the birds. At night, there is a charming lighting system throughout the open space.

It's over 700 square meters that invite you to relax.
Inside Casa Adriana there are two bedrooms: a private double bedroom and a double bedroom in an open mezzanine that can accommodate a child. All rooms have high-quality mattresses and sheets (Portuguese made).

The surrounding area has a genuine Portuguese spirit. The name Villa Santa Barbara comes from the name of the street where it is located and is a tribute to the patron saint of the church on the same street. The church is beautifully decorated with Portuguese tiles and is well worth a visit. In the neighborhood there are many amenities, such as: a supermarket, a fruit shop, a pastry shop, a barber shop, a bakery, a coffee shop and a butcher shop. There are also restaurants, large markets and a shopping center: Gaia Shopping, Aldi and Lidl.
The property has an excellent location between the beaches and the city of Porto. The famous Port wine cellars can be reached on foot. There is also public transport nearby: a bus (100 meters from the villa) to the center of Gaia and Porto (Av. Aliados) or to the beach; and a train station, called Gaia or Devesas. It is the main station of Vila Nova de Gaia and is just a 10-minute walk from Villa Santa Bárbara.
