Incredible apartment! With an amazing view!
View from the apartment was incredible! Could sit in the balcony for hours! Good communication before hand! Easy to check in, and looked after our bags! Great location close to the main front, but far enough away to be quiet in the evenings! Thank you for such an amazing stay!

Good apartment style room, spacious and clean. It was close to the Duoro river. Just a note of caution, if you dont have a taxi/Uber dropping you off, it is a bit of a challenge to carry the luggage uphill on the cobblestone path.

Great place. Good location
This place (apartment 4) was excellent and throughly recommended.
It was spotless with lovely facilities and good views from the juliet balcony.
Staff and communication was first class.
Only down side with lovely old beam roofs is that you can hear people above if they have an early start!
