Super location, away from the crowds
Great little apartment, with a wonderful master bedroom complete with balcony, period features, and high ceilings. Situated in a shaded, typical Portuguese side street with plenty of character. The location is great - the Jardim do Passeio Alegre is a the bottom of the street, where there are two crazy golf courses, music, a café, and market stalls of food and crafts. My kids also spent a lot of time in the old-fashioned pursuit(!) of climbing trees. Foz has three shingle beaches, which are fine for sunbathing or paddling, but if you want a sandy beach, Matosinhos is only 3km up the coast. Its €2 on the 500 bus, or €4-5 in an Uber. We went there every other day. One day we hired bikes from Dourobike and cycled up there along the coast (cycle route the whole way). Then we cycled round the majestic Parque da Cidade. In Foz there are plenty of restaurants and grocery stores. The walk along the esplanade at the bottom of the Jardim do Passeio Alegre is glorious. For a trip into Porto centre, take the 500 bus (the other way), the vintage no. 1 tram (€3.50), or an Uber (€9-11). Ariana was a great host, answering my questions and giving good tips. The apartment had everything we needed (although an extra frying plan would be good), including a coffee machine. The second bedroom was a little dark, due to the natural light coming through the door from the next room, but it's only used for sleeping anyway. The master room has a day bed and a large rug, so we chilled in there or the lounge. Wifi was good. All in all, a great stay.

Beautiful apartment, beautiful location
We love the apartment and it’s location. The restaurants in the area are wonderful and you have that nice mix of not being in Porto but yet just a short hop in a taxi and you are there.

About the host

Hosted by Ariana Magalhaes

Host profile image
I found early in my life that travelling and meeting new cultures is one of the best things one can do! During my travels around the world, I was able to see some of the most beautiful places on Earth, to learn fascinating angles of their history, and to taste amazing exotic foods. But in the end, it was always the human aspect of travelling that touched me the most. A simple welcoming smile, in the middle of nowhere, can bring the warmth and the cosiness of one's home. Human bonding overtakes any language barriers, and it is ultimately the single most rewarding life experience.
Hosting, in particular, is a subtle art that requires a heartful attitude and putting love in all the details. I feel privileged to be hosting you in my hometown, and I do hope that you can appreciate the charm and tranquility of my apartments.
Enjoy your stay in Porto!

Why they chose this property

With a fabulous locale and stunning décor, the best of Porto's lifestyle is fully represented in this vacation jewel.
I look forward to hosting you in my dear hometown!

This apartment was tailored to make your stay in Porto an unforgettable one...

Take a romantic stroll in the 19th century Passeio Alegre park. Visit an exhibition at the Museum of Serralves and explore its wonderful gardens...
