What a wonderful hideaway!
The property itself is gorgeous, the accommodations unique, private walled in area right near gorgeous beaches and wonderful restaurants. Our host was very responsive, friendly, and generous. We cooked some at the house, but ate out a lot. We enjoyed the swimming pool at various times during every day, and just chilling out on our little veranda. I hope everyone gets to enjoy the sunset Canine Chorale and the beautiful sunsets.

A beautiful property
An immaculately clean and highly comfortable property. We were made very welcome by Joaquim. The property is a short walk from beach, cafes and some excellent restaurants. It is also well placed for visiting Porto by taxi. We didn’t need to use our car at all for the 6 nights we were there. Stunning views of sunsets from the beach. We really enjoyed our visit and will very likely return.

Best ever
We have used VRBO & HomeAway for years and always been happy with our choices…this stay was over the top the best stay ever! No desire went unfilled by this owner.
Everything about this stay was PERFECT. The owner, Joaquin & Rosalina are a fantastic couple and took every opportunity to be sure we were pleased.
We can safely say this was our BEST VRBO experience ever.

Paradise in Porto
Loved this place! The host, Joaquim, is incredibly helpful, friendly and accommodating. We loved the grounds and the location. Peaceful, secluded, yet smack dab in the heart and soul of a beach community. The house is equipped with EVERYTHING you might need. Thank you, Juaquim!

Recreation near the city
We stayed with Joaquim for two weeks, who gave us a warm welcome and provided us with advice and tips the whole time. The apartment is very clean and well equipped. There was his own port wine and oil to try. It was very important to Joaquim that we feel comfortable and relaxed and he did a good job. Thank you very much for your hospitality.

Hôte exemplaire et exceptionnel
Joaquim et son épouse nous ont accueilli en grande. Ils se sont assurés que tout nous convenait et ont même ajouté un lit d’appoint à la dernière minute pour répondre à nos besoins. Cette maison se situe dans un environnement champêtre avec poules, coq, cheval, potager et jardin fleuri. Joaquim explique tous les détails de la maison et des endroits à visiter autour. Ils sont des hôtes chaleureux et amicaux. Je recommande sans aucune hésitation.

Muy buena ubicación
Excelente lugar para disfrutar de la zona de Oporto, al lado de la playa y muy tranquilo. La casa tiene de todo lo necesario y estaba perfectamente limpia. Joaquim nos recibió y atendió muy amablemente durante toda la estancia, y ¡qué decir de la piscina! ¡Los niños la disfrutaron un montón! Sin duda, lo recomendamos.
