Neighborhood Overview

While going down the street from the apartment, will see unique landscapes and go through the main wine cellars. Brand new apartment with a breathtaking view over Porto. Staying in this apartment you have the chance of soaking up the atmosphere of the old Gaia's historical center, right in the heart of Port wine cellars. Strolling around the neighbourhood, often you feel the smell of wine invading your senses.

The Port Wine Cellars are a Portuguese ex-libris and document an unusual history of temperance and courage.

    Our stay in the apartment was very comfortable, it is at a perfect location for strolling around the city and the view is spectacular. We stayed there with 2 people but you can easily be there with a small group and have a comfortable stay, although the common living area is not big. The apartment was clean, well designed and everything is newly renovated (obviously with the purpose of being used by tourists). Overall we had a positive experience but we did run into some issues. We had an unpleasant check-in experience since the company that serviced his apartment was 50 min late and we had to wait outside until they arrived (luckily the weather was ok). Rui was very responsive and apologetic about the situation, was quick to contact them and they also called us directly to let us know they were on their way. Also, the TV did not work, flowers on the living room table were old (and mouldy) and a hanging picture was on the ground when we arrived. The company said they would send someone over to fix these things the next day but no one came. After we left the apartment Rui ensured me that he had broken the contract with this company and would search for another service provider. As long as these issues are fixed I would highly recommend staying in his place. If it is vacant and you are going to Porto you have hit the jackpot by booking it!!

    Wonderful location and amenities. All looks new in the apartment. From the small balcony one can feel as almost part of the landscape. The magnificent Luis I bridge is on your face. Very close to bars, restaurants and cellar for a wine tasting experience if you like. We walked everywhere from the apartment. We highly recommend this place. Ricardo & Ignez

    Rui’s place has a stunning view towards Port Luiz bridge and over Ribeira. We likes the short walk over the bridge to the busy area, but to stay in a quiter spot, also close to port houses and graet reataurants on Gaia Nova’s side. The apartment has soul, quirky colourful interiors, good coffee and meticilously clean. We loved our stay and recommendes it strongly. The recommendations for local restaurants and places to visit was also exceptional. The Adega São Nicolai fish restaurant and Matosinhos beach were awesome!

    This place was amazing! Such a gorgeous view and the apartment was cute and cozy and really had a nice Porto feel to it! Location was everything! We will definitely like to be back again! Rui was so fast to respond to us when we accidentally locked the keys inside the apartment!

    Loved staying at this most definite "room with a view". Rui's place is right on the river, spotlessly clean and bright, sunny and charming. Also very easy walkable to both sides of the bridge/city. A little tricky to get by car, but we were able to navigate it eventually. I think this was due to an unforeseen road closure, and no fault of Rui's. I'd highly recommend and would stay there again.

    El apartamento de Rui está en un sitio privilegiado. Las vistas de la ciudad son simplemente increíbles e inmejorables, el río, el puente de Eiffel se toca con las manos... Idílico. En dos minutos andando estás en la rivera, llena de restaurantes, tiendas y toda la zona turística. El dúplex está equipado con todo lo necesario para la estancia, café incluido, vajilla, menaje.... Todo. Las habitaciones tienen muchísima luz y muchas ventanas que dan al río. Al tener dos niveles se hace muy agradable. Repetiré sin duda.

    The apartment was very clean and looked just like the pictures. The check in was very easy and the host had some tips on what to see and do in Porto. The apartment is right in the city center and the view from the balcony is just spectacular. I highly recommend this apartment.

    Really GREAT VIEW and convenient location. Inside of the accommodation, it was very clean and good interior. 너무너무 멋진 뷰 덕분에 숙소 테라스에서 보낸 시간이 가장 많았던 것 같아요:) 언덕 길과 계단이 힘든 분들도 있겠지만, 숙소에 들어가는 순간 다 잊혀질 거에요 ㅎㅎ 동루이스 다리 바로 근처라서 돌아다니다가 잠시 들르기도 편했구 내부도 너무 이쁘게 잘 꾸며놔서 지내는 동안 시간가는 줄 몰랐네요;)

    Lovely property ON the river. Fantastic view of the bridge, the morning light is perfect. Check in process and communication was ideal and simple making arrival time very easy (no need to meet in person, arrive when you want/can). The apartment is renovated and new throughout. We were only two guests so there was a lot of room to spare. Neat upstairs area, but we did not actually sleep there. There’s a cool window and couch up there. Only two minor notes were hot water runs out fairly quick and although there are heaters in every room (which is nice!) it was a bit chilly. But we traveled in December so fair enough. A peaceful quiet location away from the city center and I slept great the bed was very comfy. There is a very new and clean kitchen with coffee maker stove and fridge. Quick 4 euro Uber into downtown (save your legs! Porto, like Lisbon, has a lot of hills!) and it’s a very easy walk to the riverside restaurants and shops with no need for taxi or uber. Highly recommend for 2+ guests and could see if you have 3-4 guests it’s an even more incredible value for how nice the place and views are!
