About this property
Porto Natura House - a piece of nature w/ direct train Porto
The House is an original slate house of more than 300 years, totally restored and inserted in the middle of nature, to offer you a peaceful stay in the gates of the wonderful city of Porto. Within 5 minutes walking distance, you can take the train and get to the historic center in 20 minutes. Otherwise, if you have a car, you will be there in about 15 minutes.
The Shale house has the capacity to accommodate 6 people, as it has two double bedrooms with private bathroom and a mezzanine with a double sofa bed.
Only one of the rooms is available in the bookings for two people. The room has been selected during the booking process. If you want to use both rooms, it is necessary to pay an additional fee.
On the ground floor there is the kitchen (equipped with fridge, microwave, oven, stove and the basic kitchen utensils), a living space, a bathroom and one of the double bedrooms with private bathroom. On the first floor there is the other double bedroom with private bathroom and the mezzanine. The shale house maintains the freshness during the summer and, for the coldest days, there is a wood burning stove to keep you warm.
Outside the house there are green spaces and a huge terrace where you can take sun baths, have a nice barbecue and, on the warmest days, refresh yourself in a typical tank. For sports lovers, there is also a wooden pavilion that you can access to practice gymnastic or yoga.
If you are coming by car or any other vehicle, you can park it safely within the property.
The Shale House is situated in a quiet and safe residential area and you can enjoy the countryside from the countryside with a relaxing ecological walk, alongside the "Paleozoic Route" (Sítio Rede Natura 2000). In the neighborhood you can find pharmacy, supermarkets, coffees, restaurants and public transports that go directly to Porto center (train and bus stations are situated at 5min walking distance). If you are coming by car, the house is located at 2km from the highway exit, with access to the different regions of the country.
Shale House is situated within a triangle constituted by three admirable places - Douro, Porto and Guimarães - World Heritage. It's an ideal starting point for those who would like to visit, besides Porto, the cities of Viana do Castelo, Braga, Guimaraes, Coimbra and Aveiro.
During your stay you may count with our help to give you all the advices and indications taking into account your personal preferences and interests. We provide you maps, public transports schedules, interesting points info., Etc.
