This beachfront property offers access to a terrace. Featuring free WiFi throughout the property, the non-smoking boat has a public bath.

The boat stay was a new and interesting experience for our family. We picked a rainy day for our overnight stay so the water was not calm. We were able to sleep through the waves but it wasn’t the calm waters and beautiful sunrise we hoped for. The wifi on the boat is good. Abel is a great host and had the boat clean and ready for our arrival. He had apples, cheese, croissants and fresh orange juice on board as well. He was so kind and even offered to host us at his home if we were not comfortable to stay on the boat. Abel is very good at communicating and responds promptly.

Located in Vila Nova de Gaia, just 3 km from Port Wine Cellars, Veleiro D'Ouro offers accommodation with free WiFi. The Gaia Cable Car is within 3.4 km of the boat.

The boat consists of 1 separate bedroom, a seating area, and a living room. A TV is offered.

The experience exceeded my expectations in every way, including the location. It's fantastic because there's free parking near the boats, and the host, Nuno, is very polite and welcoming, explaining everything to us. The boat is larger than I expected, and we fit perfectly fine also on the back of it we had dinner and breakfast there and enjoy the motion of the water.

This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. Ferreira Borges Market is 3.4 km away and Estadio do Dragao is 3.4 km from the boat.

Our stay on a floating house was nothing short of wonderful. It was a truly unique and fascinating experience to wake up every day in the marina, surrounded by the captivating presence of ships right from the comfort of our "home". Everything we needed for a comfortable and enjoyable time was provided, with well-appointed amenities that ensured a pleasant stay throughout. We would like to extend a special thanks to Eduardo, who played a crucial role in making our vacation incredibly smooth. He was always available and went above and beyond to address any inquiries we had. We highly recommend this extraordinary experience to everyone, as it offers a refreshing and one-of-a-kind way to enjoy Porto. We are already looking forward to returning and reliving this unique adventure once again.

    My stay at Diamantedouro was a great experience. The boat is amazing, cozy, confortable and has everything you need. Anselmo e Marta are excellent hosts, always available with friendliness and cordiality. Hardly recommend

    Very clean and romantic. The spa is really good. Restaurants are great and there’s a long walk to Porto through the river, alternatively you can book a boat taxi

    Very good apartment, nice spaces and good zone to stay. There's a lot of good restaurants near, wine tastings, the Douro river boat tours... I mean, you have almost everything pretty close. Also a self-service-laundry store.

    From the moment we arrived, our hosts made us feel so welcome and at home. They went way above and beyond to help make our stay excellent! The location is perfect at well. very safe, very clean, very quiet. We also went out of their boat on the river. Excellent bonus trip. The hosts gave us excellent suggestions and also made reservations for us. I know we will be back to stay here again. I think it would be hard to find any place in Porto that would be better.

    The boat is gorgeous with the surrounding area being the marina, the river mouth and the Atlantic ocean (10 mins walk from the boat). Everything was as expected or better - and the hosts, Marta and Anselmo were the best hosts we have ever met. Friendly, enthusiastoc, always there at the ready to answer all our questions.

    We have traveled many places with different adventures and accommodations, sleeping in wagons out west in Zion, log cabins in grand canyon, camping by beach in cape cod, but havd never slept in a sailboat until now. I would not say it was the most comfortable way, but it was a wonderful experience. Loving traditional Portuguese breakfast and sailing around river made up the difference. I would recommend this stay for follow travelers and alike. Thank You Tomaz for your hostility!

    The apartment is perfectly situated in Gaia with an outlook across the river to the Porto side .. we enjoyed being able to look at the constant changing scenery of the boats passing by and the Porto side changing from sunrise to the evening .. the bridge for crossing is a 2 minute walk .. I would stay here again
