Excellent Stay in Viana do Castelo, PT

We stayed 2 weeks in Luisa and Jose's apartment. This was by far the best equipped/furnished apartment we have stayed in. Absolutely everything was there that one could possibly ask for. Luisa and Jose are extremely nice and helpful and easy to communicate with. They met us in front of the apartment and Jose was so kind to carry our bags up to the 2nd floor (back down and the end). Since we were on an extended trip we had 2 large suitcases. The apartment was all we hoped for and the wine, chocolate and nuts they had waiting for us were much appreciated. The apartment is in an excellent location right in the old town, a short walk to everything. If you just want to stay in town a car is not needed since groceries and butcher shops are practically next door. We did many day trips from there and very much enjoyed that area of northern Portugal.

Little Gem

Emily’s Apartment, was perfect for our seven day stay in Viana do Castelo. Luisa and José met us upon our arrival and directed to our parking space. They also aquatinted us to the apartment. The bottle of wine and chocolates were much appreciated. The apartment is very clean and well appointed with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Most anything you want to see or do is a short walk once you step outside the door. I highly recommend this little gem to anyone staying in Viana do Castelo.

Great!

My wife and I stayed at Jose and Luisa's flat for four nights and really enjoyed it. The flat has a nice, central location in Viana do Castelo. It's a great place for a couple or a couple with a child to stay. The flat is immaculate and it's quiet at night. The living room and each bedroom have individual heating/cooling equipment and we used the heating equipment in February for the rooms we occupied. We used the kitchen to make our own breakfast and dinner, and it was easy since the flat has a full complement of quality cooking pans, plates, and utensils. The appliances are all Bosch and Siemens - really nice equipment. There is no parking really in the town center, so you'd be saving yourself a lot of hassle by using Jose and Luisa's parking space across the street. The additional price was very reasonable, and the parking space was really large. Viana is a great base from which to explore the Minho area of Portugal. Finally, Jose and Luisa met us at the flat to let us in, give us the keys, and give us an orientation of the flat and how things worked. This was really helpful and we appreciated the time they spent with us (including walking us through the parking). Finally, they left us fruit and some wonderful Pasteles de Nata desserts as a welcome gift. We really appreciated this. We recommend this flat - it's a great choice. Thanks, Jose & Luisa for letting us stay at your flat. Scott & Han

Brilliant apartment in Viana

Situated perfectly in the town centre with easy access to restaurants, sites of interest, the beaches as well as local shops and amenities - the train station with good links to Porto and Vigo is less than a ten minute walk. The apartment was generously equipped with everything we could possibly have needed and also has a lovely little balcony upon which we spent several pleasant evenings. Communication was superb from Jose and nothing was too much trouble. The place genuinely felt like a home away from home. Viana itself is a hidden treasure and if you wish to have a relaxing break in a beautiful, laid back town with plenty to keep you occupied and a number of very good and reasonably priced restaurants it is highly recommended. We certainly intend to return and will be very happy to stay in Jose’s apartment on our next visit.

Comfortable, immaculate. Super equipped and perfect location_Cómodo.Super limpio,muy equipada

Thank you Luisa and José for your patience due to our late flight and the welcome pack. We have stayed in many places and Emily's apartment is by far one the best equipped. We didn't miss a thing, there was even toiletries. The apartment is very modern and comfortable especially the beds with cotton bed linen. The parking lot was just a cross the street and open 24 hrsalso the supermarket only a 10min walk. . Viana is a pretty town and everything is only a stroll away. Highly recommend these hosts and their beautiful property. Altamente recomendable este piso por su comodidad, equipación(hasta cosas de aseo), limpieza y localización. Sus camas son muy cómodos y sábanas de algodón. No faltaba detalle especialmente en la cocina. El parking en frente abierto las 24horas y el supermercado a 10mins de pie. Luisa y José no podrían ser más amables y hospitalarios. Muchas gracias por todo

Perfect Apartment in a Perfect Location

Emily's Apartment was everything we needed and Luisa & Jose were the perfect hosts who couldn't do enough to help us, from the welcome to sorting out a parking permit. Apartment was impeccably clean and of the highest quality with all mod cons. Viana is not just a great base for exploring this unspoilt part of Portugal but a beautiful city with fantastic restaurants and bars. Planning to return soon. Martin & Nina - Winchester, England
