Our lovely apartment it's not a luxury space but it's very comfortable with a great charming and wonderful stories

Not balcony outside out , but the living-room with 2 windows , itself it's a balcony seeing the boats go up , come down ,see birds marines ...

This can to be your private home base while experiencing the beauty and cultural vibrancy of Porto . You will have a memorable stay in this apartment.

Oporto is famous for its Porto wine . Visit one of Oporto's most traditional establishments, for a tour and tasting. Oporto is so picturesque: with the old wine boats plying the river in front of you, and traditional port lodges behind, the medieval old-town clinging to the opposite bank and the skyline punctured by the Cathedral and numerous churches .

10 minutes the fabulous bookshop Livraria Lello , the totally unique spectacle of an amazing interior architecture . the Harry Potter’s library in Hogwarts. In fact, J.K Rowling lived in Porto teaching English in the early 1990´s .

The UNESCO protected old-town, a veritable tangle of 14th century lanes tumbles to the river and a beautifully restored waterfront. Tiny antiquated shops are everywhere, and, straddling the river itself, are six stunningly intricate bridges, one of which was designed by Gustav Eiffel.

Tiny antiquated shops are everywhere. Straddling the river itself are six stunningly intricate bridges, one of which was designed by Gustav Eiffel. Take the Eiffel designed bridge (D. Luis bridge) across the Douro to Gaia (5 minutes walk) and visit the Port Houses of Ferreira, Sandemans, Croft and Barros amongst others where you can take a guided trip and sample the delights of Portugal's oldest export.

Take a day trip to Douro Valley inland and see a country that hasn't changed that much for hundreds of years - trips leave 8:00 AM and return in the evening with lunch provided.

Take trip inland up Douro River and see a country that hasn't changed that much for hundreds of years. (The river cruises do not run from 31 October until March. However, trips between the bridges are available all year round). The boats leave at 8:00 am and return in the evening with lunch provided.
Be at one with nature in the green vineyards during the Spring and the Summer. See the wine harvest from the beginning of September until the middle of October.

Fun in family: Visit SEA LIFE. Swim or surf in the ocean or visit our park with 80 hectares. Here you can run, jog, play soccer, cycle or have a picnic where the countryside meets the sea. You can jog for 12 km from our flat to Parque da Cidade, following the river and the sea, each step offering a changing landscape at one with nature – an impressionist painters dream

Exactly what I was looking for
To sit with an amazing view with a glass of port, listening to the sounds of the street, looking at port houses was amazing. It is an older place but has everything needed, including stairs for exercise. It was exactly as described and nothing can beat the view.

Apartment in Porto
This was a great place to stay. The location was perfect - easy walking distance to anywhere in the old town, and lots of restaurants nearby. Fernando and Olga were great hosts - connecting with us ahead of our stay, making sure we had all the information we needed. A “welcome” bottle of wine and a snack was a nice surprise. The apartment itself was very comfortable and spacious - beautiful views and right on the water.

A wonderful first impression of the property. Fernando welcomed us, and had wine, along with a cheese, bread & shaved ham plate. Excellent view of the Druro River, Ponte Luis 1, and some of the city. Over looking the promenade where there were many restaurants, some vendors, and enjoyed listening to live music from the comfort of the apartment. It was the perfect location for us, most things within walking distance. We loved Porto.
