Wonderful stay
Clara was a wonderful host. She allowed us to drop our bags early, so we could head out exploring. Parking was easy, directly across from the unit. We loved having an evening drink sitting in the open windows from the top floor with a view of Gaia and Porto. Clara also provided lots of information about tours and restaurants which was very helpful. The only thing I did not understand so adding this information for others. It is a 10 minute walk to the historic center of Gaia -- it takes longer to get across the bridge into old Porto (but still walkable). Had I spent more time looking at the map, I would have realized that in advance, so it was my own mistake.

Incredible hospitality
Clara's stone house is beautifully decorated in her wonderful whimsical style and had everything we needed for a fantastic 3 days. But most important Clara went out of her way to share her knowledge of the area, book a table for us at the Fada restaurant, meet us in person with cake and Port and in a warm and hospitable way make sure our needs were met.

Awesome location for exploring Douro River valley
Clara and her family’s historic home was beautiful decorated, and immaculately kept. We were greeted with fresh baked cake and port and a personal tour of our accommodations. The view from the third floor window was amazing. Clara was great at offering tips for our stay and she provided a house Manuel with plenty of options . The kitchen was well appointed. The bathroom and living space had a heater to use during cool evenings while we were there.

Perfect host cozy home!
Although we weren’t home enough to enjoy this cute home, Clara was probably the nicest host we ever had. From baking a welcome cake to checking in on us and giving us recommendations she was so kind!

Warm welcome
Before we arrived in Porto Clara had contacted us with suggestions for restaurants and things to see and do. When we arrived Clara was there to meet us and show us around her lovely house. She had baked us a delicious apple cake, such a welcome treat. During our stay Clara was very helpful with ideas and we ate at an amazing restaurant, just around the corner. we never would have found with out Clara. WE had a wonderful stay in Porto.

Clara was very lovely! She met us at the home with an apple cake and port. The home was lovely and very clean with beautiful views. It is not in downtown Porto which was nice, and there were plenty of restaurants nearby.

Our hillside cottage
We loved Clara’s house, we were here for almost a month and it quickly became our hillside cottage. It’s quiet at night and while close to transportation and the tourist attractions of Gaia, it was removed enough to offer respite and relaxation. I was working remotely from here and enjoyed the top floor with its roof window open so I could smell the air and hear the gulls. Clara was an excellent host and maintained communication through the whole stay. She also surprised us with some home made treats! The hill is steep and the house has multiple stairs and uneven floor levels, so I only recommend it if you have no mobility issues. The AC was really nice to come home to after hot days wandering the streets of Porto and Gaia. The main bed is comfortable, the others were a little stiff but not overly uncomfortable. The bathroom in the primary bedroom was a nice convenience but exceptionally small. Once we worked out the quirks of this old house we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Exemplary lodging home from an exemplary host
Property is in a rustic establishment with modern amenities. Classic stone walls, fantastic features with beautiful light fixtures and great bedding and bathrooms. Host Clara and her family were most accommodating and helpful in the weeks leading up to the stay to ensure a comprehensively enjoyable stay in the Porto area. Free public parking spot was easily obtainable on the same street. The second floor had a sunroof window that could be opened and for which Porto Harbour could be enjoyed. Would definitely stay here again (if it were available) when visiting again.
