Schöne Wohnung mit guter Lage
Die Wohnung ist schön und liebevoll eingerichtet. Das Bad ist ziemlich klein. Das obere Schlafzimmer liegt unter dem Dach und ist für große Personen eher nicht geeignet. Das Haus liegt direkt an einer Straße und es ist dadurch recht laut wenn die Autos vorbei fahren. Nach Porto sind es ca 3 km zu Fuß, man kann die Strecke auch mit dem Auto fahren und sehr günstig parken.

Super schöne kleine Ferienwohnung. Nah am Strand und Fischerdorf.
Vila Gaia Nova ist ein schöner Stadtteil von Porto. Liegt direkt am Fluß. Ferienwohnung ist nahe der schönen Badestrände. Das historische Zentrum liegt in der Nähe. Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel sind in ausreichender Form vorhanden. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten im Dorf und im Supermarkt in der Nähe. Sehr nette Hauswirtin hat uns mit vielen Informationen versorgt. Ausstattung der Wohnung ist sehr gut. Wir haben uns sehr erholt. Kommen gerne wieder. Vielen Dank für alle Infos.

Estadia muito aprazível e tranquila
Apartamento muito bem equipado e elegante, lugar tranquilo e calmo, para quem gostar de pesca aconselho, perto de restaurantes onde o prato forte é o peixe. Gostei imenso do lugar, pena ter sido pouco tempo.
