Romantic Studio at the Wine Cellars

Reviews

• Reviewer: Dmitry

  Comments: The apartment that is located on the south bank and very close to the river and the famous bridge but located in some small street so it is quieter. It was comfortable and clean. Gisela was kind and gave me some advice about the city.

• Reviewer: Francesca

  Comments: Gisela has been an amazing host and her flat is incredibly cute. It is in an old building that has belonged to her family for a long time, and it has been renovated very well and with taste. The room is cosy but it has everything you would need for a few days stay. We arrived at 2 am because our flight was late and Gisela waited for us to welcome us.. She has been really professional and extremely kind, making us feel at home and being there for us all the time. The flat is on the south bank of the river, where the port wineries are, but really close to the city centre. Plus it's a very nice walk to do in the morning and it takes about 8-10 mins max. I would definitely come here again and I loved my stay, thanks Gisela!

  Comments: Gisela's place is wonderful and newly renovated so everything is very clean. Although I didn't meet Gi myself, she was very friendly and helpful in our messages. Her lovely cousin Joana met me at the place and was really kind and helpful. The room itself had almost everything I needed for my stay with lots of additional treats such as sample of local wine! The area is right next to the river front of Vila Nova de Gaia and all the sights but is in a quiet side street so you get the convenience of a quiet nights sleep and easy access to beautiful views. I had no issues and would thoroughly recommend :)

  Comments: The appartment is located in the great place. It is near the vine cellars on the opposite site of Ribeira. Very comfortable and modern studio!

• Reviewer: Geraldine

  Comments: First of all, Gisela is the loveliest and most interesting person! Checking in was a breeze, the directions given for the trip from the airport were simple to follow and accurate and she was waiting for us when we got there. Gisela gave us the best recommendations for places to eat in Porto! The studio itself is exactly as shown in the pictures. It was very clean, new and everything was in working order. The bed was very comfortable. We note that our unit was on the 2nd floor and the steps were a bit uneven but manageable. The windows let in alot of light (which I loved). The shower had sufficient volume and power and everything worked and was in good condition. Would highly recommend this place for 2 persons on a short break! The area is very close to the river and but is just off to one side and very quiet!

  Comments: Bonito apartamento bien situado. A 5min de la Rivera de oporto por el imponente puente Luis I, Pero muy tranquilo. Aunque es pequeño, tiene todo lo necesario para una escapada de varios días. Anfitriona atenta y muy simpática, fue flexible en horarios de entrada y salida.

• Reviewer: Julia

  Comments: Very nice stay. We checked in late without any Problems. Gisela was very kind and helpful. The flat was small but very clean and had everything you need. The flat is near of many wine cellars and near to the river. Nevertheless it was very quiet in the street so we could sleep well. All in all a lovely shelter for two people.

• Reviewer: Alexey

  Comments: Great place to stay at Porto. Formally, it's not exactly Porto, but that's even better since you'll always have a beautiful view to Porto and be close to portwine cellars! It is really good located too: not so far away from the historical centre of the Porto and pretty quiet and cozy at the same time. Gisela was very helpful and made a great introduction to the city! We'll definitely recommend this place!

• Reviewer: Agathi

  Comments: Gisela is the greatest host ever! She took her time showing me around and gave me a few very useful tips. Following her advice I saw Porto the way locals do. Highly recommended!

• Reviewer: Joseph

  Comments: Que dire sur notre expérience chez Gisela si ce n'est que tout était parfait. Elle nous a chaleureusement accueilli le premier jour, avec une multitude de bons plans pour visiter au mieux Porto. Elle est d'une grande gentillesse et toujours là en cas de problème ou si l'on souhaite plus d'informations au cours du séjour. Pour ce qui est de l'appartement, il est parfait pour un weekend prolongé à deux. Très propre et très bien situé, le quartier est très agréable, à deux minutes à peine des rives du Douro et de la vue splendide sur le coeur de Porto. Bref je vous conseille de foncer chez Gisela pour une belle expérience dans cette charmante ville.

• Reviewer: Xavier

  Comments: Magnifique appartement, très romantique. Idéal pour un petit séjour en amoureux. L'appartement est proche de tout, et très bien situé. L'hôte est accueillante et attentionnée.

• Reviewer: Dan

  Comments: Gisela was so helpful, and although I didn't actually get to meet her she was always on hand if we needed anything at all. Her place is in a wonderful setting, within easy walking distance of everything you'd want to see in Porto. Really clean flat, and Gisela was also able to help out with my early check-in and request to leave my bags at hers for the morning we checked out. Absolutely perfect place to stay for a weekend in Porto, thanks very much!

• Reviewer: Megan

  Comments: Perfect little studio if you want to visit the port wineries. They're all within easy walking distance. The studio is very well taken care of and has a kitchenette if you wanted to stay in and cook. Everything was very clean and adorable. We would definitely stay here again.

• Reviewer: Maarit

  Comments: Kaunis ja siisti asunto hyvällä sijainnilla kaikkien portviinikellareiden lähellä. Pienestä keittiöstä löytyi kaikki tarpeellinen aamiaisen syömiseen ja Wi-Fi toimi erinomaisesti. Lähellä rannassa paljon ravintoloita ja sillan yli pääsee kätevästi toiselle puolelle Portoa. Suosittelen lämpimästi!

• Reviewer: Dorottya

  Comments: Gisela's place is perfect. Nice, comfortable, clean, well-equipped, we loved it. The location is also good, close to the riverside with lots of restaurants, cafes.

  Comments: Great location and quiet neighborhood. The studio is ideal for couples who want to visit the city for 2-3 days. Gi was very nice and helpful from the start.

• Reviewer: Laura

  Comments: Posto assolutamente raccomandato, una permanenza meravigliosa! L'alloggio è veramente curato in ogni dettaglio e la pulizia è eccellente. È fornito di un angolo cottura per chi volesse prepararsi qualcosa da mangiare a casa. Quando si arriva tutto è preparato per farti sentire a casa, nulla è lasciato al caso! Comodissimo per visitare le cantine, e comunque molto comodo anche per visitare il centro storico. Gisel offre ottimi consigli su cosa visitare e dove andare a mangiare, è la Host ideale!

• Reviewer: Dmitry

  Comments: Great, quite apt right in cellars. Recommend.

• Reviewer: Linas

  Comments: Perfect location, cozy apartment, friendly and helpful owner. Superb!

• Reviewer: Eweeelina

  Comments: We had a perfect time at Gisela's place. Apartament is big enough for 2. Very cosy and sweet. We even get a welcome drink;) we recommend this place for couples for a romantic stay. Good location, next to restaurants and wineries but not in the noisy city center.

• Reviewer: Geoff

  Comments: We had a great stay at Gi's apartment. The building has been recently renovated with modern fittings and appliances. It's just a short walk to the Port wineries and the bridge over to the city, and there are several nice restaurants nearby. Recommended!

• Reviewer: Ronan

  Comments: A lovely clean and beautifully decorated studio among the port cellars. A couple of minutes walk from all the action in front of Cruz and Sandeman, the cable car and the river taxi, yet nice and quiet at night. Gi made us feel very welcome and catered for our early arrival.

• Reviewer: Hoa

  Comments: Gisela was very forthcoming and warm-hearted during the whole organization. She has a great repertoire of tips and advices of what to do, and was flexible regarding the check-in. The apartment is comfy and corresponds exactly to the pictures. And its location is perfect! Thank you very much Gisela!

• Reviewer: Aniko

  Comments: This flat is even more charming than the town of Porto! I went with my husband for a quick weekend visit. We could literally live in history, because the walls of the flat (and the stairs leading to the door) were actually several hundred years old, which were matched with excellent taste for the rest of the décor. Every detail was stylish and sweet - I loved the way the wifi password was "published" :) The flat is well-equipped, you can really find everything that is needed for a comfortable stay. It's a pity we couldn't meet Gisela in person, but maybe next time! :)

• Reviewer: Sally

  Comments: Gi’s place is perfect... location is very special, yet cozy and quiet for a visit to historic Porto. Communication was also piece of cake and very quick response in case of any need... lots of thoughtful touches in the flat to make you feel at home. Thanks again! I highly recommend staying here. Great value on all points.

• Reviewer: Sílvia

  Comments: Apartamento excelente, muito aconchegante, com estilo e muito bem localizado, certamente será a nossa escolha na próxima ida ao Porto.

• Reviewer: Danielle

  Comments: We loved our stay here! Gisela was the most amazing host, welcoming us in person with great tips and a lovely local gift on arrival. The location was close to the wine cellars and waking distance to the rest of the city. The studio felt brand new, it was warm, and extremely clean and tidy and made us feel at home. We would definitley stay here again, highly recommend!

• Reviewer: Eva

  Comments: The studio is perfect, located amongst the famous wine cellars. Everything was super clean, we had everything we needed and we were looking forward to coming back home after the whole day walking around and exploring Porto! :) Absolutely loved it and would recommend!

• Reviewer: Edgardo

  Comments: Todo fue excelente, muy buena limpieza, decoración y atención de Gi, lo único difícil fue el acceso en auto a la zona pero valió la pena y volveríamos a ir.

• Reviewer: Sergio

  Comments: Apartamento con todas las cosas necesarias para hospedarse, desde pequeños botes de gel, crema corporal, toallas... si vas solo con ropa, ya tienes todo lo necesario! Muy cerca del puente de Luis I y de las bodegas, si volvemos a Oporto, cogeré ese apartamento en Vila Nova. Gracias Gi!

• Reviewer: Matthew

  Comments: Lovely, clean studio in a quiet part of town but very close to main Porto area (15 min walk over the bridge). Located around the wine cellars, there are good value restaurants, bars and tapas places nearby

• Reviewer: Sascha

  Comments: Excellent location, very clean. I will come back again.

• Reviewer: Margaux

  Comments: Gisela's appartement is clean and warm. It is located in a trendy area where you can find amazing place to brunch like the 7groaster and the mercado. It is 15min walking from the historic centre. Amazing stay !

• Reviewer: Gergely

  Comments: Gisela’s place is fantastic, right in the middle of Porto. The place was very clean and nice furnitured. The river with amazing restaurants was just 3min by foot. A beautiful comfortable spot to rest with a quality not offten seen. I would highly recomend it!

• Reviewer: Martine

  Comments: Appartement ravissant, d'une grande propreté et surtout extrêmement bien situé: proximité de tout sans les inconvénients (rue calme). Bars, commerces, Douro et centre ville sont à 2 pas. La propriétaire est charmante, très accueillante et s'est rendue très disponible. Petit point à améliorer, l'absence de mobilier de rangement dans la chambre (commode et/ou penderie). Par ailleurs, dans ce petit immeuble de 3 niveaux, l'isolation est médiocre: nous entendions les voisins du dessus (pas, voix, aspirateur,...) et ceux du dessous ont dû nous entendre.

• Reviewer: Florence

  Comments: Le logement de Gisela était très propre, joliment décoré avec l’essentiel (petite cuisine...etc) et bien placé pour une visite de Porto :proche des caves à visiter et à moins de 10 minutes du quartier de la Ribeira par une balade très agréable (super vue!) Gisela était disponible par message et très réactive :)

• Reviewer: Angélique

  Comments: We spend 2 nights in Porto et Gisela's place is just great for a romantic week-end. The flat is really clean and the bed is very confortable. Thank you to Gisela for her good advices. I recommende this place.

• Reviewer: Luna

  Comments: The location is absolutely ideal close to the river Doura with Port Cellars and lovely restaurants close by. We found the studio spotlessly clean and checking in was easy Staircase was quite steep and floor noise from above studio quite disturbing. Other than that quite a lovely cozy place to stay .

• Reviewer: Ricarda

  Comments: Nice little studio apartment right by the river. It was within walking distance to restaurants, cafes and the Wine Cellars. Even though the studio is tiny, it’s cozy and clean and equipped with everything you need. Gisela is a great host. We had the possibility to check in whenever we wanted to. She also responded really quick to any questions we had. I can warmly recommend this place if you are looking for a romantic little studio in the heart of city.

• Reviewer: Felipe

  Comments: Perfect place, location and atmosphere. I recommend this apartment 100%

• Reviewer: Martin

  Comments: Very beautiful and centric appartment. Easy acced due to self check-in. I enjoyed my stay, thank you very much.

• Reviewer: Allan

  Comments: A fantastically located apartment if you want to visit the port cellars. Lots of dining options available, including establishments right by the water. The apartment and area of Gaia does require some physical self-sufficiency. Stairs can be steep for some and you will need to do some walking to get to the actual town of Porto. Photos accurately depicted this clean and obviously recently renovated space. Gisela is a super host and responded to questions almost instantaneously. I would highly recommend this space if your goal is to be in the Gaia area and visiting the port houses.

• Reviewer: Elena

  Comments: L'appartamento ci è piaciuto tantissimo, arredato con cura e pulito. L'alloggio si trova a due passi dalla riva sud del fiume, dalla quale si gode della bellissima vista della città sull'altra sponda. Si raggiunge comodamente il centro a piedi. A 10 minuti di distanza si parcheggia l'auto comodamente e gratuitamente.

• Reviewer: Rita

  Comments: Out of the busy town but close enough to walk in and enjoy all the amenities. Cool at night and convenient for wine tasting.

• Reviewer: Carole

• Reviewer: Miguel

  Comments: A pesar de no haber coincidido con Gisela, su trato a través de la App fue muy bueno. Siempre atenta y muy amable. La casa está localizada casi en pleno centro. Y el interior del apartamento está cuidado al detalle. No puedo poner ninguna pega. Todo excepcional.

• Reviewer: Karima

  Comments: Le petit studio était idéalement situé pour visiter Porto à pieds. Seulement à 3min du pont Dom Luis. Très bien décoré, avec pleins de petites attentions de la part de Gisela, nous vous recommandons ce logement pour un petit séjour à Porto. Le seul défaut est qu’on entend pas mal les voisins du dessus tout comme ceux d’en dessous doivent nous entendre (parquet). Merci a Gisela pour sa réactivité

• Reviewer: India

  Comments: Super séjour dans un joli cocon. Idéalement placé, je recommande!

• Reviewer: Karolina

  Comments: Perfect base for exploring Porto, Gisela is very accommodating and her flat is lovely. Can recommend to anyone, especially if you want to be close to Port caves. Hope to be back there soon!

• Reviewer: Angelina

  Comments: Ein kleines aber tolles Zimmer mit allem was man braucht. Zentral gelegen, direkt bei der Brücke Ponte Luis. Wir haben den kurzen Aufenthalt genossen. Gisela antwortet schnell und gibt Tipps und ist sehr hilfsbereit. Alles in allem sehen zu empfehlen.

• Reviewer: Nicole Yu-Fan

  Comments: Perfect location for wine tasting and easy self check-in.

• Reviewer: Jeong

  Comments: 숙소는 아주 깨끗하고, 위치도 너무 좋아 저녁 돌아오는 길 또한 나에게 행복한 시간을 갖게하였다. 혼자라면 그리 좁지 않지만, 부부 등 2인이 묵기엔 다소 좁은 공간이라고 생각한다. 우린 부부이므로 가격대비 나쁘지 않았고, 호스트 답변도 즉시즉시 이루어져 큰 애로 사항은 없었다. 숙소 문 잠금이 안에서도 열쇠를 사용한다는 게 의아했고 , 좀 불편했다. 윗 층의 소음이 약간 있었으나 감당할 정도여서, 3일 지내는 데 큰 문제없이 지낼 수 있었다.

• Reviewer: Richard

• Reviewer: Kathryn

  Comments: I would definitely recommend this location, as this side you have an amazing view of Porto over the Douro, and very easy and quick to cross over the bridge anyway. There are a few cafe's and food shops for small purchases very close, and very near all the Port houses for tours/tasting. Very clean and comfortable, all you need for a base for a city break, thanks again!
