General overview

Welcome to our 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom spacious apartment located in Rio Tinto, a city just outside of Porto, Portugal. Porto is an internationally renowned location known for Port wine, pastel de nata, history, fado music, and authentic Portuguese cuisine and culture. Porto has access to river beaches, ocean beaches, and is one hour's drive from the famous Douro Valley, the wine region of Portugal. The apartment building only has 3 stories and 6 units total. There is a dedicated garage in the basement and the unit comes with one parking spot.

The apartment is on the first floor which, in Portugal, means there is one flight of stairs from the ground floor (with entrance) to the apartment level.

Notes

We do not wear shoes inside the house so ask the same for our guests. Frances is allergic to cats, so unfortunately we cannot house any cats or exchange to homes with cats. We have a dog who will go to a sitter during your stay. We are a non-smoking home!

Lots of families live in the area. There is also a health center located down the street from the apartment (3 min walk).

Frances

We are the Cordova's! Joe (early 30s), Frances (early 30s), and Gabriel (5) originally from the Bay Area in California, USA. We also have a fox terrier named JD! We moved to Porto, Portugal in 2022 and want to explore the world! We are not smokers, not drinkers, and love doing family-friendly things like eating, hanging at parks/playgrounds, and seeing and trying new things. Mostly focused on Europe and Asia locations as we have family to stay with in the USA.
