This property has been restored and extended to a high standard providing 9 rooms. We stayed in Room 9 on second floor with a small room with extra bed over looking the 'garden' and its small pool. You need to memorise a code to access the property, but have a secure key to the individual rooms. There are three floors but no lift. Ask for room 1 if you want the ground floor. Run very efficiently, and somewhat remotely by it's owner, Ivo, we had no difficulty arriving after 1900 when 'Reception' ie himself has gone. He gave helpful advice and booked a tour for us as the weather was very windy and wet. He has links that are sent to you to check in and check out remotely. I was a bit doubtful about all this initially , but everything worked very smoothly. The two ladies, who came to prepare breakfast, and tidy the rooms each morning, were very helpful and caring, and booked my taxi to the airport on my morning departure. If you want an excellent breakfast, in a pied a terre, located on a tram route near good restaurants and with relatively easy access to the city centre by tram in about 40 minutes, this is the ideal place for you. If you want room service and a bar, look elsewhere. We can't wait to return.

It's not really a complaint, but I like tomatoes for breakfast. I bought my own in the Mercado in the centre of town. They were stored in the pantry and sliced up for me to enjoy. Bring your own bananas if you are an addict.

Everything was great from day one. We did online check-in and got the code for entering the House. Breakfast is included in the price - there is everything you need including coffee machine you can use all day long. (I even asked for plant based milk and got one right away. They left it in the fridge so I could use it for the rest of our stay.) Room was very nice and clean as well as the whole house. We were here for a week and really felt like home. The garden with a pool is very nice for chilling during the day or evening. There are bikes (and e-bikes) you can use which is great option for reaching Porto. You can also use surf boards and suits anytime!

It is quite loud during the night because of the tram passing by. We didn't mind it but bring some ear plugs just it case you need one.

**Staff makes all the good :). Thank you for your openess and kindness! **We didn't use, but there were warm pool, sport activities incl. bikes, swimming costumes for surfing, surfing things etc. We will definitely use it during the summer :). **Breakfast - good, just enough for the morning.

**Couldn't figure out about the air conditioner at night and when I needed it there were no personal. Maybe some extra instructions would help for persons who will need it :).

Gorgeous hotel, very clean and extremely friendly staff who gladly helped us out with everything. We were able to borrow surf boards and bikes at no cost and there was always coffee and cakes available by the pool. It was quite a small hotel so it felt very homely, the pool was often empty so we mostly had it to ourselves, it kind of felt like a spa! Close to the beach, grocery store (Lidl) and metro stop. Amazing, I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to stay in Matosinhos!

The only thing I missed was hot items for breakfast (ie scrambled eggs, sausage etc) but it hardly affected the breakfast overall since there were so many other things to eat.

Great hospitality and accommodations nestled in a small city by the sea and a beach that goes for miles. The hotel has bikes you can use to ride down the ocean boardwalk. Ivo was very helpful in helping us experience everything including the restaurants that serve fresh seafood and local specialties. The hotel is only 15 minutes out of Porto by tram that comes directly in front of the hotel. It's perfect!. We loved it!.

I was especially enamored with the friendly and motivated service. The owner puts a lot of effort into this hotel and cares for the guest's well-being. The facility was great for small children (~2 years). It is relatively quiet (besides the occasional metro train) and there is a lot of open space to play. The heated swimming pool is especially great!

The hotel is quite new (early 2023), so some furniture was still missing. The guest rooms will receive additional shelves soon. On our third day the garden furniture arrived and was speedily set up. So the experience is already great and still improving.

Easy to find, great parking nearby..either the multi storey or on road parking. Great location and a short walk to restaurants, the beach, bars etc. We had a warm welcome and help to carry our luggage upstairs. The room was bright and modern with a lovely small balcony. Bed was very comfortable. Small outdoor heated pool and relaxing area- sadly we did not stay long enough to use the facilities. Breakfast was plentiful and very fresh. Choice of bread/cakes/cheese/hams. Free coffee or tea at all times.

A fridge or mini bar would have been useful in the room.

The location was perfect. A short walk from the beach and even closer to the metro stop to get to Porto. The staff went above and beyond and breakfast was great. The room was comfortable with great beds The hotel was spectacular. With a lovely space with a pool out back. They have equipment for the beach that you can borrow. You can even arrange a message.

I'm struggling to think of anything.

Ideally located for the beach, local seafood restaurants, and easy access into central Porto via metro or bus. Real home from home vibe, just the right size to meet other guests, and massage services available to book at the house. Big thanks to Fátima, Ivo, and Júlia for a lovely stay!

The bedrooms were beautiful & the food provided at breakfast were lovely, fresh & tasty. Great location too. Members of the Ocean Porto team were very helpful & polite. We'd definitely stay again Totally recommend the bike trip around Porto, great way to see the city & learn about it's history & the roof terrace bar in Porto
