Holiday at Canidelo, Vila Nova de Gaia

The apartment is excellent offering first-class accommodation for up to four people. It is spacious, well-appointed (especially the kitchen) and has a great balcony overlooking the sands and waves of the Atlantic! The area is peaceful with a great beach and boardwalk and plenty of cafes and restaurants. There's a good bus service into Porto (25 mins). Would highly recommend.

We were here for 7 weeks. Lovely place on the beach with fantastic views and a beautiful deck. Many restaurants nearby. Helpful to have a car to get around Gaia. Ubers to Porto were between 6-11 and took about 20 minutes on average. Continente market about a mile away. The only downside was the fireplace is unusable.

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.

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.

Schöne, geräumige Wohnung in toller Lage

Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt in Porto. Der Kontakt mit dem Vermieter war sehr freundlich und unkompliziert. Wir wurden bei Ankunft nett begrüßt und bekamen einige nützliche Tipps für unseren Aufenthalt. Das Apartment ist sehr geräumig, schön und komfortabel eingerichtet. Das Frühstücken auf dem Balkon mit wunderschönem Ausblick haben wir sehr genossen. Es sehr gute Restaurants in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft. Wir können das Apartment wärmstens empfehlen. Perfekt mit Auto, für das in der Tiefgarage ein abgeschlossener Stellplatz zur Verfügung steht und mit dem das Zentrum bequem in 15 Minuten erreichbar ist.

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!
