It is a beautiful neighborhood in Vila Nova de Gaia, near Arrábida Shopping. A giant mall with various shops, restaurants, and a supermarket. From here, you can visit the stunning Mosteiro da Serra do Pilar. The views from outside the monastery will take your breath away. Next door to the sanctuary is the palm-shaded Jardim do Morro. The gardens are a pleasant spot to take a seat and enjoy the views out over the river and Porto, which make this worth a visit, particularly at sunset when the river turns to gold. If you go down the narrow and picturesque streets of Gaia, you'll reach the riverside, where it's possible to find the famous Port Wine Cellars. It's also a great spot to have dinner, enjoy a glass of port wine, and shop. An alternative to reach the riverside is to take the Teleferico de Gaia (Gaia's Cable Car). The property is easily accessible by public transport and car. The nearest bus stop, Alex. Herculano is just a 2-minute walk. Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport is a 29-minute drive from the property. This property is a self-check-in property, and you will be requested to verify your identity before checking into the property. Check-in can be done from 3 PM, pending availability and confirmation. Once a reservation is confirmed, guests are requested to complete a guest registration form following the legal obligations stipulated by local authorities in Portugal.
