Holiday at Canidelo, Vila Nova de Gaia

The apartment is excellent offering first-class accommodation for up to four people. It is spacious, well-appointed (especially the kitchen) and has a great balcony overlooking the sands and waves of the Atlantic! The area is peaceful with a great beach and boardwalk and plenty of cafes and restaurants. There's a good bus service into Porto (25 mins). Would highly recommend.

We were here for 7 weeks. Lovely place on the beach with fantastic views and a beautiful deck. Many restaurants nearby. Helpful to have a car to get around Gaia. Ubers to Porto were between 6-11 and took about 20 minutes on average. Continente market about a mile away. The only downside was the fireplace is unusable.

Amazing apartment

The apartment was very clean and well equipped with all modern facilities and the manager was very attentive. We were very impressed by the view from the balcony which was stunning and you could sit and relax and watch the sun set. We also enjoyed the 2 bikes that came with the apartment and we rode to Porto and along the beach bike tracks. We can't wait to return on day and spend longer enjoying this wonderful location in Portugal.

Beautiful views

As soon as you step into this condo the beautiful water views awaits you. This condo is very well appointed and just outside of Porto. Took an Uber several times into Porto. 2 bedrooms and bathrooms make this place perfect for 2 couples. Marco was very helpful and ready to answer any questions.
