Hi All,
Just to inform you that we have decided to rent our secondary home/flat in Porto (area Foz) to people we know from now onwards. It is our home for holidays and every-time we go to see Bruno’s family we stay there. I just spent there the past 2 months 🙂 and will be back in London beginning of September.
The flat:
It is a 60m2 1 bedroom flat 1st floor, literally 2 mins from the Douro river and 5 mins from the first ocean beach.
The flat has 1 very large bedroom with kings bed, baby cot and we also if needed have a travel cot if needed under the bed packed.
The living room is large with a sofa bed and another 1 person bed. Max 5 adults sleeping in the flat which I ve done as girlfriends weekend away!
It has a nice area with a table to have dinner/breakfast/lunch.
Kitchen is separated with washing machine, fridge, hob, oven, microwave.
1 bathroom available with a toilet and bath/shower as you can see on pics.
In the bedroom we have a kind of loggia that we use to read or to work as there is a desk there. When we work from there, Bruno uses the loggia desk and I use the living room table.
The flat has a small balcony, sun for sun bedding 3 pm until dark.
For families:
Baby cot + travel cot + hogh chair + plastic bath + changing table + yoyo pram + tent and parasol for the beach + lots of toys and books + baby dishes ..: basically I have everything for Charlotte there already so I doubt you ll need something else 🙂
Other:
We supply bed sheets and towels. I also can supply beach towels, and more stuff for the beach (tent, parasol, wind-protector masks, rackets …etc )
We have music speaker, video projector with adaptor for netflix from iphone, hair dryer, board games, books and co…
Location:
It is located in the best area of Porto called Foz do Douro (google for more info on the
I would say that Foz is a wonderful neighborhood for people who are lucky enough to be able to live by the sea and with the beach within walking distance of home.
The best and most beautiful restaurants and esplanades are there. The ambience is exceptional.
Foz maintains a wonderful traditional commerce and has a market for vegetables, fresh fish, meat, traditional bread and fruit of unparalleled quality.
Foz also has a huge green park - with many trees, extensive lawn and a huge lake - where you can have a picnic, take a walk, ride a bike, exercise, sit on the grass or simply enjoy a pleasantly served meal. on one of the cozy terraces. All of this with the sea in the background.
It is a quite flat, calm, safe and very healthy area. You can do everything on foot.
It has easy transports. The airport is just 15 minutes away by taxi (15€). The tram ride to downtown is always done next to the river and the sea and takes only 15 minutes to get there.
Better is (almost) impossible 🙂
If interested:
If interested by a weekend or a week in Porto, please let me know, I ll share availability of our flat and process. We rent it outside of airbnb. Exchange of keys will be face to face in London and all info given. Price is quite cheap, we looked at market prices and make sur we give a good deal to friends so it s a win for us and for you!
(I also have lots of recommendations of things to see and do in Porto and the Douro Valley from cultural activities, historical landmarks, food, markets, beaches, cellars, shopping, parties all for weekends with friends, single or as a family!)
Et voila!
Mathilde and Bruno
