The accommodation is very nice, located in a very nice spot and very well cared for. It is a bit challenging to get there by car as the roads are narrow and steep, but it is well worth the effort.Twenty-five minutes by car puts you in the centre of Porto where there is ample parking. The city is very beautiful and needs several days to explore.The hostess is very nice. She does not speak very good English so if you do not speak Portuguese, it is a bit difficult to communicate. The care is otherwise fine.

Amazing place cłosę to Porto!

We spent 2 amazing weeks at this place near Porto. Everything was as described. Fresh bread was delivered every morning, and the train station, just 5 minutes from the house, took us straight to Porto City Centre. The area is quiet and green. Alexandra responded quickly to all our questions and provided detailed guidance on local attractions and restaurants. Highly recommend!

Lovely villa

The villa was lovely, it had everything you could need, with a shop 7 mins walk away. Everything else you would need a car, we got Ubers everywhere which would be around 26-28 euros one way to Porto. We decided to do this rather than drive. The swimming pool was lovely and the beds were comfy. Everything worked, also had a coffee machine which we used daily. we would recommend this place.

Lovely property

The property was very big and clean with everything you could need. The kitchen was very well stocked with plenty of pans etc. and the beds were comfy. The pool area was amazing and the pool was very clean despite it not being covered, although it was a bit chilly! The gardens were lovely and well maintained, as the whole property was. More sun loungers would have been good for the size of the property. The basement was a great space for snooker, table football etc but the bedroom wasn't ideal as it was small and musty. The roads to the property were narrow and steep but it seems a lot of the roads were like that around the general area. Overall we had a great stay.

Our stay

We enjoyed our stay had a few problems but the house itself is in a nice quiet location. We found that the rooms down stairs did have a bit of a smell, didnt really enjoy the cameras on us all the time and could see them moving every now and again so defo being watched. Drive was really tight which wasnt listed. Alarm was a bit of a nightmare sensors everywhere. Barbecue was very dirty had to clean it before using it. Not enough towels or beds to be honest for 8 which I paid for.

Accueil très appréciable par les propriétaires et très réactifs si besoin. Une belle surprise chaque matin au portail : livraison de petits pains, très appréciable.

Super séjour dans cette agréable maison. La maison est super et bien adaptée avec des enfants. Les infrastructures sont top. Les propriétaires sont adorables et nous ont beaucoup aidé.

Séjour agréable

Séjour familial très agréable. Belle maison au calme, avec un beau verger. Proche de Porto. Tous les matins du pain frais est accroché au portail. Maison pour 6 ou 8 personnes cependant il n’y a que 2 transats et les fauteuils du salon de jardin étaient cassés. Il faudrait peut être orienter différemment l’arrosage automatique la table et les chaises du jardin étaient trempés le matin. Merci pour l’accueil sympathique des propriétaires.

Fantastic villa, but not 15min from Porto

We loved our stay here. The villa is spacious and cool with the most amazing sunny pool and well maintained garden. Inside the layout is a little quirky with two kitchens and one bedroom in the basement, but it worked fine for us and our teenage daughters. We didn't use the TV, but enjoyed the games room in the evenings and the hot tub. The cameras are a little invasive, but were not a huge concern for us. The alarm and having to close all the shutters every time you leave is a bit of a pain though! We loved the the fresh rolls delivered daily by Alexandra, a nice touch. The access lanes are VERY narrow, but we had no issue once we realised the best route. We took the train once to Porto (long trip) and drove most days along the A4. To get into Porto / Foz / Gaia etc. is 30-40min depending on the time of day. Parades is a nice town with a good range of shops and restaurants, but not much else going on in the smaller villages nearby.

Everything was perfect: the house for 2 family (pool, warm jacuzzi, bedrooms, bbq, 2 kitchen, game room), the host, the place (in a tiny village close to Porto). I recommend this place.

Porto

Très belle semaine a la Casa da Fonte. Maison luxueuse très bien équipée: Climatisation, piscine, bbq, machine espresso, babyfoot, etc. La maison est proche de la gare de Cete donc il est facile de se rendre à Porto et dans les environs en train. Attention, l'acces est difficile (en pente et étroit) et le GPS indique plusieurs chemins d'acces dont certains non pratiquables. On s'habitue vite mais la journée de l'arrivée avec une voiture de location cela peut surprendre.

Vacances familiales

Villa parfaitement adaptée à des vacances en famille, 4 adultes et 2 ados. La maison est très propre, spacieuse , la piscine est parfaitement entretenue. Porto se situe à environ 20 minutes. Nous avons visité la région, parc de Geres, Braga, Guimaroes. Aqua Park Amarantes. Situation idéale ! Mais il faut une voiture pour se déplacer. André est très réactif, accueillant, toujours disponible pour nous conseiller ! La livraison du pain chaque matin était très appréciée + changement des draps et linge de toilette pendant le séjour (2 semaines). Vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés !

Lovely relaxing family holiday in a great house

This is the best property we ever stayed in. It has everything, lovely secure private gardens, an amazing pool and playroom which my teenage children really enjoyed. The house has all mod-cons and plenty of space. We really enjoyed the beauty of the location and found it an excellent location to explore Porto and the Doura valley, with easy access to the nearby motorway. However, a car is a necessity. I would highly recommend this property and would not hesitate to book again when visiting Porto.
