Roses Village Bed And Breakfast

A great bed and breakfast with big and clean rooms at the perfect location to explore Porto and the surrounding area. The hosts are very friendly and can give you a ton of information about the neighbourhood, such as which restaurants you should go to ( and which ones you should avoid ) The location is pretty much perfect: it's just outside porto ( 15 minutes by train, very convenient ), and a 2 minutes walk to the sea. The only "downside" ( and the reason why such a great B&B is still very much affordable ) is the fact that it's placed right next to a train-station. So there is some noise, but you get used to it pretty quick and the convenience of having a train-station at your doorstep, and being able to get to the city centre of Porto very quickly, is well worth it.

My wife and I booked in for ten nights with our two children, aged 7 and 4 and were really unsure as what to expect...on arrival we were so delighted firstly with the accomadation: OMG the Noble room is amazing! Also our hosts, Carolina and Paulo met us with a glass of port on the poolside!!! and the welcome was being welcomed home rather than to accomadation! From the very first day Carolina was great she offered us other rooms as she said that the Noble room could be noisy with trains and to be honest yes there were trains but nothing that would affect your sleep! So we stayed in the room as it was so amazing...... The house is amazing we had other guests in the house for two nights from US: what a great time we all had together it all felt like a family....the area that the guests have is large, romantic and atmospheric with lots of seating areas and of course the POOL(salt water great for the skin and children)..thank God for that it helped exhaust the kids. The hosts could not have been better as i said it was like visiting family....Carolina added a feeling of being looked after with her coffee strong in the mornings outside and we would wile away the morning talking and chatting...the obvious link was our Irish heritage....Paulo was such an amazing font of local knowledge and information. The piece de resistance was both escorted us into porto for St Johns celebrations and we had an amazing time with them, and their son, Renato...Of course there was Franciscia,Carolina has rased an amazing girl who got up when we came home at 1:30am from st johns celebrations because our kids wanted to see her and also to watch them put up paper lanterns....thanks for such a special memory guys Location is great the Cafe does the most amazing pasteries near the firestation...Mr Rabbits does great portuguese chicken which is next door...also the rain station is 1 min from the house and brings u direct to Porto to San Benito station....it is an amazing city...my wife preferred it to Venice...the beach is beautiful but seas were rough but still fab walks..the church at mirimar is etheral...go to Elas Bar near the aquarium which is worth the visit with the children. There is a nice beach bar on the way to Mirimar which is lovely as are all the bars/cafes at Mirimar.... Carolina and her family made this trip for us a total dream...any reluctance we had dissipated on sight of her home and her welcome and her kindness. Roses Village is a very special place that feeds your soul and mind...we will be back for the laughs, coffees, chats and glasses of port!! XXXX

This familyhouse -with a ancien soul- is a great place to stay when you want to explore the northern region of Portugal. You can easily visit cities like Guimaraes, Porto and Braga by train. The rooms are very comfortable, big, clean. The authentic breakfast is served with a great smile for a reasonable price.. You can eat very good in the nearest restaurants for a small price. You can discover the area by walking, hiking, swimming or running or you can just lay down, relax and enjoy the beautiful environment.. You wouldn't regret it!
