The apartment is fantastic with two terraces looking out over the ocean and the tops of the trees lining the street below. Foz is a lovely suburb with beaches, cafés and restaurants and Porto is a beautiful city. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the apartment and the location.
My husband and I stayed in this apartment for a week with our daughter and her 7 month old baby. We wanted to stay outside the city but wanted good transport links as we had decided not to hire a car. This property fitted the bill, the regular bus service took us into Porto in about 10 to 15 minutes.
We also enjoyed the seafront walks along the promenade ,and the park only about 10 minutes away.
The property was like a well cared for home, well equipped and very clean. Two balconies and two sitting rooms were also a bonus.
The owner, Alvaro and his wife couldn't have been more helpful and provided us with information about the area, shops, restaurants etc

We stayed here on a weekend girlie trip and was fantastic. The rooms are a great size. There is 2 living rooms , 2 bathrooms and 2 terraces. More than enough room for a group of 6.
It is close to the beach with easy access into Porto on the bus too. The owner is lovely and very prompt in responding.
If we go back to Porto we would definitely stay here again.

A lovely apartment a short bus trip from Porto City by the beach. The apartment is well equipped and clean and tidy. Alvaro and his wife are good hosts and always available if needed by phone. The 500 bus takes you to the centre of Porto and you can get off at Sao Bento train station to go to Aveiro Guimaraes and Braga all lovely day trips by train for less than 10€. The neighbourhood of this apartment is very quiet and friendly all local shopkeepers and restaurants locally welcomed us. We attended a Fado night at a local restaurant on the beach for 20€ that included a 3 course meal wine and entertainment excellent value. The venue was packed and we were the only English there but everyone was so friendly. The apartment made our stay especially being able to sit out on the terrace for meals.

Apartamento duplex no Porto, frente ao mar na Foz was ideal for our family of four, with two adult children. Well appointed, over two levels it was very comfortable, with expansive views to the sea. The apartment block was secure, with internal access via an internal lift.
The exclusive area of Foz is situated just outside the 'hustle and bustle' of central Porto, but with great amenities, close by. The trip into town was a very pleasant, and easily accessible bus ride away.
Alvaro, the owner was very helpful, and we would have no hesitation in recommending this apartment for those looking for something a little different.

The Apartment was clean, spacious and well equipped. We were a party of 5 extended family and all had plenty of space. We particularly enjoyed the beautiful sunset views from the patio. The local amenities are close by and the beach is just a short stroll. The number 500 bus runs regular trips into Porto which we visited 3 times during our stay (return tickets costing approx. 10euro). A few restaurants to choose from but Cepa Torta is across the road, which had lovely food at good prices and friendly staff (I will review separately).
Alvaro met us at the apartment and gave us lots of help and advise, he gave us a map with various points of interest and there are also a few information sheets in the apartment.
I would have not hesitation in recommending this apartment.
Many thanks Alvaro
