Neighbourhood
The property is situated in one of the most convenient and scenic parts of Vila Nova de Gaia, just a short walk from the Douro River and Porto’s historic city centre. The area blends everyday neighbourhood charm with easy access to transportation, culture, and some of Portugal’s most famous attractions. Transport connections are excellent. General Torres Metro Station is about four minutes away on foot, connecting you directly to downtown Porto and other key destinations. The upper station of the Gaia Cable Car is also within walking distance, offering a scenic ride down to the riverfront and easy access to the bustling wine district. One of the major draws of this location is its proximity to the historic port wine cellars. Within minutes, you can walk to Sandeman, Graham’s, Ferreira, Fonseca, and several other renowned wine houses, where tours and tastings are offered daily. The area is also rich in cultural and historical landmarks. The Monastery of Serra do Pilar, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, sits nearby, offering panoramic views over Porto and the Douro. Right next to it is Jardim do Morro, a hilltop park that is especially popular at sunset, drawing both locals and tourists for its stunning views of the Luís I Bridge and the city skyline. For those interested in arts and history, the Teixeira Lopes House-Museum, which was once the home and studio of the celebrated sculptor, is just a short stroll away. Nearby, the former Corpus Christi Convent has been transformed into a cultural venue, hosting exhibitions and community events throughout the year.

Everything perfect, the host very attentive and responds super fast. Good location. The garage is just enough for a Citroen C4 Picasso, but it fits, be careful on the access ramp.
