25 July 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Very nice accomodation. A bit outside of the city center, but very easy to get there via bus #39 during the weekdays. Otherwise take a taxi, which is not too expensive.

08 November 2009 Pedro would recommend this property

Liked: My mouth dropped when got to this place. I’ve to a lot a places in Portugal and this place really should get the number one spot. As a traveler for business purposes to Porto, I’m never surprised to bad habitations, specially in this region, very close to the historic center and world heritage place. But this different, it’s magical and very uplifting. Like I never left home.I’m in the business of wines, so the location is perfect. I didn’t get the car cause I had my own, but I would’ve had it if I wanted (I rented the entire house). I loved the Idea, a new gourmet stile for a budget price. I hope it stays like that.

08 November 2009 Jean would recommend this property

Liked: I would give 10 out of 10. First of all, it seems that this company is just launching and the product is fantastic. Hence, the fairly good amount of excellent reviews. From my part and that of my family, they entirely deserve it. I tell you this, and want to point out that I’m pretty demanding and rigorous about my choices and opinions. It seems that all this luxury and treatment and is being given away for free. It’s clearly worth much more though. In my opinion it is a brilliant start. A genius is probably running this place and the idea is fantastic. Provided that in the future the quality will not suffer with the success, I congratulate the master of this Idea (a very young man) and will definitely come back.

08 November 2009 Julio would recommend this property

Liked: Traveling with a group of friends. I just have to say that this property and the idea and vision are Magnificent!We adored the entire trip, the welcoming with a drink and a smile, from the airport to the house itself, the fact that we had a car for ourselves (free of charge), something that I’ve never seen at this level. The house is beautiful, the view is awesome, right in the middle of the Wineries of Porto Wine. The staff is so different from what we are used to. And, the three Porto bottles of wine that we got as gifts. Incredible, just lost for words.

04 November 2009 Stephen would recommend this property

Liked: Traveling alone. I couldn’t ask for more. I was the only guest in the house, so I had an entire big and luxurious house for myself. I though I was dreaming! Although I only had my Suite, the man who did went to pick me up at the airport (I think he is the owner too), showed me the views of the other rooms, and my chin literally dropped. The Suite is something out of this world. With a very Big plasma with loads of channels. The bathroom suite had hydro-massaging witch I found a real luxury. Ideal for me, cause I really needed a massage and a relax time. Wow! I’m really surprised with all the quality and the extreme care for details that I saw. The maid was extremely nice (although didn’t speak English), and the owner is a very smart and cultured guy. Everything was clean and neat. Towels were great, the bed was unbelievable. I would definitely come back. Amazing place, I would pay even more for it. A great and very cheap place for the quality I found.Ah, just forgetting: I was offered a bottle of Porto wine by the property. Apparently it is part of the policy of the house to gift their guests at the end of their stay. I almost felt bad for all this experience and kindness. Seemed like they did more than enough. Just incredible.

03 November 2009 Jürgen would recommend this property

Liked: Two words: Definitely amazing! This place really surprised us. The experience was phenomenal and supremely mastered by the fantastic staff, from beginning to finish. We were picked at the Airport, arrived at the property and greeted with champagne! Not joking! Champagne! It’s located on top of a hill, just by the river. The view is outrageously beautiful. Plus, the furniture and the architecture of the place is Five Star, the quality of the rooms is even better than some four or even five star hotels. The bathrooms are luxurious (and seemed that they have never been used).Everything was managed with extreme elegance and décor by the young owner, who is an extraordinary person (and very young),with a great vision.On top of this, the owner lend us a car with GPS, with no charge! This was the most unexpected surprise for us since we knew that the car was only available for people who booked two or three rooms. We could explore the night of Porto, shop, and move around freely with the car. The wineries and the vineyards are just around the corner. The whole experience was something like we could never believe if we were told. It ended in apotheosis, when we were gifted with a Porto bottle of wine at the end of our stay. It couldn’t have been better and we’re so grateful for the way we were treated. We will never forget it.

02 November 2009 Fabrice would recommend this property

Liked: This place really rocks. Everything was impeccable. The linens, the towels, everything. I was amazed when the nice young man who owns this place told my family and I that we could use the car during our stay no charge (except for gasoline of course).We couldn’t believe the view. Amazing. It took literally my breath away. The house is safe, has an alarm, Internet was superfast and free. Since we had children and our pet with us we were a little bit worried, but once I arrived there (Shuttle service available), my fear no more applied. The staff is so nice! A chief and owner and a very nice maid, who is there every day. Our main purpose was the wineries of Port wine and the place is really close. Anyway, we had a car. So, no transportation problem.I sincerily think this is a luxury place and would definitely recommend it and come back. Ideal for a family and for everybody who wants to forget about the mediocrity and cheapness of Hotels. I mean, come on! Who lends a car to it guests!I take my hat off for the courage of the young owner of this project. 10 out of ten.
