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.

It was a very cozy and comfortable boat. Very different experience. It was unfortunate that it was raining, so we couldn't sit outside on the porch. We had a very warm and courteous greeting from Marta that made us feel at home..

Boasting river views, Oporto Douro Floating House features accommodation with free bikes and a patio, around 1.6 km from Campanha Train Station. 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.

This stay on the boat was a delight. Our kids indicated it was one of the highlights of our trip. Very quiet (no other neighbors, just empty boats) made for a peaceful stay in the middle of the city. The host was excellent and very attentive and explained everything. Parking was secure. Breakfast was excellent.

    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.

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.
