Summary: The tine nice old farmhouse welcomed us with a wonderful and naturally oriented ambient. The garden, the whole area, just beautiful and very natural Many different birds singing, beautiful plants and trees. All like a picturesque nature area. We liked it very much. The Owner welcomed us, gave us a little tour and left US independent for the rest of the stay. However, in case if questions, f.e. public train system to/from Porto, we could call or sen a WhatsApp message, to get immediate answers, sufficient guidance and help. We really liked it very much and think about to come back another time.

Summary: This is a 300-year-old farmhouse that has been converted on a very quiet spot in a middle class, safe and retirement looking (?) neighborhood. There was a bedroom and bath upstairs and a bedroom and bath plus another half bath downstairs with a kitchen that was compact but had everything you needed and a lovely outdoor space. If you're looking for modern perfection instead of character, you'll find only the best character here. There is a grocery store nearby and you can walk the train in about 5 minutes. Our host did a wonderful job checking us in, and gave us all the information we needed. She was available but not intrusive. It was just the right amount of space, very quiet at night, and we would absolutely come back here again and again.

Summary: We enjoyed our 4-night stay in this property in Valongo. Just a short drive from Porto, quiet, clean and well equipped. Its an old house but lacked for nothing. Owners were very responsive and easy to communicate with. Check in and check out was a breeze. Beds were super comfy and enough bath linens etc. Loved sitting on the slate stone patio listening to nature in the evening. I don't have any hesitation recommending to others or staying in this place again if I ever have the opportunity to revisit.

Summary: This was a lovely little farmhouse tucked away behind a gate in an area of the town. The house itself was quaint and the property had a few inviting outdoor areas to relax after a busy day navigating the streets of Porto. The owners were very attentive if we needed anything. We would definitely enjoy staying there again if we return to Portugal in the future.

Summary: Our stayexceeded all of our expectations. Flavia was wonderful to work with and the house was absolutely beautiful. There was a train station about 15 minutes walk from the house which made it very easy to get to Porto. We had a wonderful time and look forward to returning someday!

Summary: Flavia was an excellent host. She responded quickly to our inquiries. The property is lovely with a nice rustic feel. The house is not large, everything is very compact and cozy, the pictures make it look larger than it actually is. But having said that, the house has everything you need for a lovely stay.

Summary: Interesting old converted barn. Cozy place, perfect for 2 or 3. Woke up to roosters and birds singing. Only 5 min. walk to the train station which goes directly to downtown Porto, so convenient! The stairs to the good size double bed bedroom are quite steep, upstairs bath and downstairs 1/2 bath are not suited for large built guests. The washer dryer are in a laundry room next door to the host home. Flavia is very easy to communicate with, did not meet her, her mother welcomed us. Probably more suited for warmer weather to spend more time outside. We would recommend this place.
