Impractical house

Upon arrival was surprised to see there is a cash deposit required make sure to read all the small print. Be ready to arrive after 5pm to a house that has NO basic necessities such as toilet paper, napkins, salt, pepper, dish soap, or even trash bags! You must drive to the nearest store to purchase all basic necessities. Entrance of home is difficult to get to. The entrance of the house is located in the back, you have to walk uphill on GRAVEL (driving on gravel not allowed). You have to drag your luggage thru the gravel into the home. The house is cold, you cannot adjust temperature as only the owner has access to this. No extra blankets, no extra towels, no extra sheets. Only one per person for your ENTIRE stay. Bathrooms are open floor plan with showers completely open in the bedroom without any privacy. Beds on the floor as shown in pics. I advise you to zoom in pictures and see all the unnecessary steps and bed boards the same color tone which makes depth perception difficult and prone to injuries.Electrical power very low, Electricity goes out with a hair dryer. We were left without power about 2 hours in the cold of December in the mountains 40 degrees F. No electricity means no water as well in Portugal. Bbq pit not allowed to be used in the winter.Dangerous house for children and elders, unnecessary steps everywhere in the same color tone.

Porto was beautiful & the property was spacious enough for a large group - like ours - & overall, we enjoyed our stay. Albeit, we were a little disappointed with a few things; considering the size and total cost of the rental, there were no basics when we arrived late in the evening - inc. handwash, cleaning products, laundry detergent, spare toilet paper, no items in the first-aid kit, salt/pepper/oil, etc. We appreciate it’s a rental, and never expected it to be stocked entirely, but having to purchase many of these items additionally for a 7-night stay - when some of them are needed in order to use features within the villa - was frustrating. The designated bins are also a significant distance from the property. Think the above is worth bearing in mind when considering a stay, but we’d still recommend the location. Thank you!

Great villa

We had a fantastic holiday at this modern well equipped villa in a very quiet location., exactly what we needed. Not too far from Porto. Although we were a small group of 5, there is lots of space for a large group. Well equipped, we did not lack anything. Sofia is a great host, responsive to queries. Secure and private but not remote.
