We had a lovely time, staff were extremely helpful, recommended highly. Only downside was wife slipped on the floor in the bathroom so please be careful. We went and bought a non slip mat for a few euros. Very well managed, lovely clean property, it will be lovely when the bar is finished and the bakery opens next door.

Wow what can we say! The place is immaculate the staff are lovely! Paula and the team are so friendly - they give you recommendations for everything. Pool is delightful and great for some afternoon sun! Beds are super comfy. Just wish there was a little more storage space for our cases so they weren’t always out. The place is beautiful though, they even have a cake of the day out for you to have every day. A very romantic getaway which was just what we needed. Whilst the apartment is a little bit out of the old town- it’s only 20minutes to Bolhão market and the road is so quiet at night you can’t hear anything.

If you're going to Porto, I can definitely recommend this place. Great, modern apartments in a quiet and peaceful location. If you choose a pool-view apartment, you’ll also get sunshine on the terrace for almost the entire day and guaranted no road noise It’s close enough to Porto downtown — about a 7–8 minute walk to the main shopping area. The pool area is really nice and relaxed, and you don’t have to fight with other guests over sun loungers. The apartments have everything you need to cook for yourself and more, including a large fridge with plenty of space for drinks and food. There’s also a large supermarket just a 5-minute walk away. The reception staff are so nice,super friendly and helpful, and there’s a bakery right next door where you can buy/order sandwiches and simple lunches. We’ll definitely consider staying here again if we return to Porto. An Uber back in the evening after restaurant visits or shopping was only around €4–7. The only very minor downside was the variations experienced in Wi-Fi speed, but absolute not a problem. Pictures don´t lie, it real nice apartments, and the smiling helpfull reception girls are so nice.

I never write reviews, but this is a special place. Ideal for long/er stays and fellow digital nomads. Very close to the city center and all, yet like a little world apart. Recommend booking an apartment with view to the garden. I've been positively surprised by the facilities: - internet connection top - laundry and drier room (free) - very well equipped gym - hot sauna and steam room - beautiful pool - afternoon snacks Also: They took extra measures to accommodate my mold allergy & chemical sensitivity. Which, based on countless travel experiences, is hard to do at the same time (e.g. impeccably clean, non-moldy places often use very strong cleaning chemicals plus signature scents etc.). Especially in more mold-prone areas. I felt great here. Some real perfectionists and allergy-friendly staff at work =) Thanks again!

Absolutely gorgeous apartment, with a lovely balcony overlooking the pool and the beautiful hotel next door. Our apartment was very well equipped with a comfortable living room, a fully equipped kitchen with coffeemaker and dishwasher, a very comfortable bedroom and a beautiful bathroom with a fabulous shower. On arrival a lovely lady gave us a map on which she’d marked restaurant, sights, where to get good views etc. A really nice touch. She then showed us the gym and sauna which looked great but we didn’t have time to use. She showed us around the apartment and explained how everything worked. It was a lovely welcome to our stay. Everything feels brand new and it was spotlessly clean and everything feels good quality. Location wise, for us it was perfect. It’s at the far end of the main shopping street, away from the bustling main tourist areas but easily walkable in about 20 minutes. There are a couple of small supermarkets within a ten minute walk as well as a few restaurants. We had a fabulous stay here and would definitely come back if we return to Porto.
