Great value for money : in a safe area of the historic district, about 10 minutes walk to the river and about the same to the Cathedral. The owners - Sophia and Ernesto - are charming and helpful. The apartments are comfortable and stylish and the 'Dardo' apartment (that we stayed in) has a lovely balcony. Be sure to visit the Cafe Bolomonte Pizza next door for a nightcap on your way back home from an evening out, the friendly owners and locals will make you welcome. If you want to economise from the riverside restaurants, the 'O Caravela da Ribiera' cafe in Rua Mouzinho da Silveiro does a great Prato del Dia menu. The only drawbacks to these apartments are that you might need to walk up quite a few flights of stairs and sometimes you might hear the footsteps of any occupants of apartments above you. more
