Amazing apartment

The apartment was very clean and well equipped with all modern facilities and the manager was very attentive. We were very impressed by the view from the balcony which was stunning and you could sit and relax and watch the sun set. We also enjoyed the 2 bikes that came with the apartment and we rode to Porto and along the beach bike tracks. We can't wait to return on day and spend longer enjoying this wonderful location in Portugal.

Beautiful views

As soon as you step into this condo the beautiful water views awaits you. This condo is very well appointed and just outside of Porto. Took an Uber several times into Porto. 2 bedrooms and bathrooms make this place perfect for 2 couples. Marco was very helpful and ready to answer any questions.

Fabulous apartment by the sea

We loved this apartment from the moment we arrived. Marcos the host is extremely helpful and friendly and answeredall our questions. It really has everything, very comfortable beds, excellent luxury bathrooms and well equipped kitchen. The spacious balcony has a wonderful view over the ever changing ocean. If you can drag yourself away there's a great bakery 5 mins walk away and 10 mins takes you to the supermarket. There are several beachside restaurants nearby, Aqua was our favourite. 10 mins walk the other direction takes you to the bus stop, the 902 service runs every 30 min into Porto for trips further afield. A highlight for us however was the boardwalk which meanders along the edge of the beach and through the sand dunes for a couple of km, there's a nice wee cafe bar at the finish too. We can't wait to return!

Super schöner Aufenthalt

Das Appartment entsprach zu 100% der Beschreibung und war sehr sauber. Die Lage ist einzigartig. Nur über die Straße und schon ist man am Strand. Trotz Straße aber keine Lärmbelästigung. Alles in allem ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt, gerne wieder.

Great location and great host!

We loved our stay at this property, and really enjoyed meeting our host, Marcos. The view was spectacular from the apartment, and the place was impeccably clean! We had everything we needed at the property, and could walk to many restaurants and the grocery store. We will stay there again in the future!
