Welcome to my studio!

This area provides a perfect base for exploring Porto’s historic and vibrant wine district. Just steps away, you’ll find the famous Port Wine Cellars that line Gaia’s riverbank. Numerous cellars like Graham’s, Taylor’s, and Sandeman offer tours and tastings, providing an authentic insight into the production of Portugal’s renowned port wines.

A short walk brings you to the Cais de Gaia riverfront promenade, a lively area with scenic views across the Douro River toward Porto’s historic Ribeira district. Along the promenade, there are numerous restaurants, bars, and cafes where you can sample Portuguese cuisine with breathtaking views of Porto’s skyline and the iconic Dom Luís I Bridge.

For shopping enthusiasts, the El Corte Inglés department store is nearby, featuring an array of stores, a gourmet supermarket, and several dining options. Nature lovers can enjoy Jardim do Morro, a beautifully landscaped park that overlooks the river and offers some of the best panoramic views in the area, which are particularly stunning at sunset.

Adventure seekers can experience a ride on the Teleférico de Gaia, a cable car that connects the riverfront to Jardim do Morro, offering unique aerial views of the city and river. Vila Nova de Gaia also has a great connection to Porto’s city centre via the metro and is just a short ride away from top attractions like Clérigos Tower and Livraria Lello.

Eric A.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Pros: good place overall, clean apartment, comfortable bed, well equiped kitchen, the heating works well (during winter let it at 28-30 so it heats the entire apartment). Quiet day and night. Internet works great. 2 minute walk to the riverfront, 8-10 minutes to Porto by foot by crossing the bridge. Some places to eat nearby, a few convenience stores too (they close a bit early though). Would stay again.Cons: no laundrymat nearby, the lock was very tricky to close, took a bit to get it right. Very hilly area, so hard if you're carrying lots of luggage (great views nearby though!). General Torres station is somewhat close but you need to walk up many stairs and then up a hill, it's not very pedestrian friendly.
