Het appartement ligt in een rustige omgeving met veel privacy aan het eind van een doodlopende weg. Weliswaar dicht bij het treinstation, maar dat heeft ons nooit gestoord. Prachtige uitzicht op de Douro en de vallei. Appartement is schoon en van alle gemakken voorzien. Wij voelden ons er thuis en op ons gemak.
