Incredibly Clean, nice rooms, comfortable bed, curtain for some privacy

Sarah Germany

If you want a brilliant all-round Guest House in Matosinhos with a warm friendly welcome and gorgeous breakfasts then this will be just right for you !!! The rooms are beautifully clean, and sparkling comfy. We couldn't have wanted for anything! The service were superb and so nice to get up to in the mornings near the ocean. The Airport is so near, just 3.5 miles away from Fishtail Sea House. I have the pleasure of visiting Matosinhos/Porto again, I'll definitely think of Fishtail S. H. first! You will not be disappointed as this is a high quality Guest House yet extremely reasonably priced!! The beach is just a few blocks away and makes for a lovely walk after breakfast. I recommend a stay here without reservations.
