A perfect stay and the kindest hosts

We were a group of 7 women celebrating a 40th birthday. Natacha was the kindest host and even helped us arrange a grocery delivery ahead of our arrival. The accommodation is spacious and has all the things you might need for a great stay including hairdryers, bath robes, beach towels etc. It is very well equipped. We used the pool which was clean and surrounded by grass. We went into and out of Porto using Ubers which were cheap and readily available. We enjoyed a walk along the boardwalk at the beach and we wish we could have stayed for longer!

Our stay at Natachas apartment was extraordinary. Natacha was exceptional host, taking care of every detail, including grocery pre-stocking, which added a special touch to our experience.The apartment itself is exactly as shown - incredibly spacious, impeccably designed, combining style and comfort effortlessly. The living room alone spans 70 sqm, offering generous space to relax and unwind. The large windows bathe the space in natural light, wonderful ocean views, gorgeous sunsets creates an atmosphere of freedom and ease. Every corner is thoughtfully curated, with exquisite touches that make us feel pampered from the moment you step inside.The kids’ bedrooms were a particular highlight—each space was not only beautifully decorated but also filled with toys and games, making it an enchanting experience for our little ones.The views from the apartment are breathtaking. Whether it was the sea, the sunset over the sea or the morning light on the private bedroom balcony, we were surrounded by natural beauty.With a beautiful pool and easy access to miles of beaches, it was the perfect haven to return to after a day of exploring. Plus, with a 24-hour doorkeeper ensuring security and convenience, we felt completely at ease throughout our stay.This place offers the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and an unbeatable location. We highly recommend it!

Amazing Penthouse!

We recently had the pleasure of staying in this stunning penthouse and it exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the hosts were beyond accommodating and gracious. They thoughtfully arranged an amazing in-unit massage for us, and greeted us with a bottle of wine, water, and snacks—such a lovely touch. They even arranged a late checkout and kindly offered to store our luggage until we needed to leave for the train, which made our departure so much smoother.The penthouse itself is truly exceptional. The balcony, adorned with beautiful succulents, provided the perfect spot to unwind and watch breathtaking sunsets. Inside, the living room was spacious and incredibly comfortable, ideal for relaxing after a day of exploring. The kitchen was fully stocked with every appliance, dish, glass, and pan you could possibly need, making meal preparation effortless.Both the bedrooms and bathrooms were gorgeous and spotlessly clean, adding to the overall luxurious feel. The pool area was equally beautiful and meticulously maintained. Despite the lack of air conditioning, the penthouse stayed comfortably cool throughout our week-long stay, even with temperatures in the 80s.All in all, this was an unforgettable stay. I would happily return and recommend this penthouse to anyone looking for a beautiful, well-appointed, and thoughtfully managed rental. A true gem!

Great for families.

Perfect place for a family stay. Multiple bedrooms and bathrooms enable quick preparation for all the sights of Porto or the beautiful beach. Fully equipped and comfortable. Wonderful host. Ubers and taxis inexpensive and quick. Very thoughtful accommodations for children. More than you could ask for.

WOW!! A 5 star apartment, spotless!

We absolutely loved our stay in this stunning, luxurious, very spacious apartment, so comfortable and well equipped. I cannot speak highly enough of the apartment and our hosts. We enjoyed the views from the balconies. The sea views from the balcony/living areas are amazing, watching the sunset at evening was a real treat! We really enjoyed the squash court, and workout room. Thanks for the use of the bikes and workout room. The location of the apartment is just meters away from miles of beautiful coastline with a boardwalk with sandy beaches perfect for children and adults. The beach was so close and the bike/walking trails were also a hit. The restaurants nearby are OK but you can easily get to other areas and there is a supermarket around 1.5km away. We loved the fact that the apartment was not in a built-up touristy area. To visit Porto city, just a short taxi / Uber ride away. Easy access to the train station and airport. Definitely want to come back and explore it more. Natacha was premium host and so kind and friendly. This is a 5 star apartment in a gorgeous location and I hope to come back again someday.

Esplêndido e espaçoso apartamento, exatamente como descrito. Tudo imaculadamente limpo e a roupa de cama de excelente qualidade. Os utensílios de cozinha eram de alta qualidade, mas aproveitamos os restaurantes locais. A localização ótima, a 1 min caminhada da praia e a 10/15 min de carro do Porto. Adoráveis passeios ao redor do apartamento. Wifi de alta velocidade e garagem foram um grande bônus. Com certeza eu vou voltar.

Great spacious apartment, idyllic location

Really deluxe apartment with everything you need in a great location. Location is perfect right near the beach and just 10 min drive from Porto. Commodities are amazing. The sea is very close and some services like pastries very near... and there are plenty of bars by the beach. I highly recommend Natacha and his apartment.
