“Amazing :-)”

Reviewed 7 Nov 2016

We´ve had an unforgettable stay in River House. The neighbourhood is quiet, secure and lovely. Despite of being 5 km away from Porto, from Afurada you have a boat frequently tcrossing the Duero, and it´s worth to walk by the river to the downtown. If you have a car, it´s definetly a great option! The River house is BEAUTIFUL. Every detail makes you feel at home...or better than at home ;-) Jorge Simoes, a great host. Nothing more than thanks so much for making our stay so comfortable!
