Oporto Apartment in front of the Douro River in UNESCO Area
In Front of Wine Port House
Sleeps 4/5 (2 Bedrooms)
|
|
This apartment is located on the waterside in the UNESCO World Heritage area. This is a quiet apartment, very romantic and with great views (waterfront). Across the Douro River are the famous Port Wine 'Caves'. Oporto is famous for its Port. Visit one of Oporto's most traditional establishments, for a tour and tasting. Oporto is so picturesque with the old wine boats plying the river in front of you, and traditional port lodges behind, the medieval old-town clinging to the opposite bank and the skyline punctured by the Cathedral and numerous churches.

Apartment with lovely view. Colchester Essex England Review May 2, 2008 Date of Stay: April 2008
My husband and I stayed in this apartment for a week in April. It was just perfect. It was very clean and well equipped. The view was just fantastic. It was lovely to sit and watch the boats going up and down the river. Good restaurants were just a stone's throw away. Public transport was easy to reach - the funicular and buses up to the city were about 5 minutes walk away. The owner was very helpful and gave us his mobile no. in case we had any problems. The description and photos were very accurate. In fact we thought the photos of the inside of the apartment didn't do it justice as it was more spacious than we had considered. We will definitely be recommending this apartment to relatives or friends wishing to visit Porto. All in all we had a lovely holiday.
