Casas Da Formiga - Riverview Terrace and Pool

Great house with an incredible view at the top, and close to the tram for a quick access of Porto center The house was very clean and the hosts are lovely

Everything was great except the wifi

It was spacious. There was plenty of hot water and it was well heated. The bedrooms were comfortable with en suite facilities. Access to the metro and local shops was easy.

Neither of the inside seating areas could accommodate six people very comfortably. The kitchen was poorly stocked: we bought (and left) a corkscrew; there was a bare 6 cups/mugs; there wasn't a saucepan big enough to cook enough pasta for six people. The sink didn't have a functioning plug and there was one sponge (which had been cut in half) and a single tea towel. No cleaning products were available and we had ants running up the kitchen work tops (in February). WiFi was poor, really only worked on second and third floors. There was a cat poo on the veranda when we arrived, and although we were promised it would be cleared up, it was still there when we left. Luckily the weather wasn't great and so we weren't able to sit outside anyway.

Great views from top deck close to train station off street parking

Lovely looking place on the inside. En-suites in all bedrooms. Good size and nice view from the terrace.

Quite run down, a few of the taps come apart in your hand. Not a very well equipped kitchen, we ate toast off napkins. Didn’t mention that the garage was open and the people from next door could literally walk into the house, which they almost did at one point scaring the life out of my sister in law. Rented the other apartment to a young group who were very nice but partied as you’d expect and we had small children to think about. Not suitable for kids either, stairs everywhere. Didn’t remind us about city tax either so we spent all our cash on the last day and have to sort it out now we’re home. Didn’t let us know where to leave the keys when we left so had to guess.
