Gaia Residence

Overview

Fancy a bit of independence but still want those swanky hotel vibes? Gaia Residence is your spot. This 4-star aparthotel in Vila Nova de Gaia gives you the best of both worlds, perfect for those who like to do their own thing but still appreciate a good indoor pool, a swanky sauna, and a delish tipple at the bar.

Location

Nestled in Vila Nova de Gaia, you're practically neighbours with some epic port wine cellars – hello, jollies! You're just a 3-minute drive from Lavandeira Municipal Park for a laidback stroll or 5 minutes from the iconic Dom Luis I Bridge, linking you straight to Porto. The Duoro River is a mere 2.7km away, and Porto Airport (OPO) is about a 20-minute drive, making arrivals a breeze.

Rooms

Get ready to live your best boujee aparthotel life in one of the 108 air-conditioned rooms, each rocking its own kitchenette with a fridge and stovetop – perfect for whipping up a midnight snack or a proper brekkie. You'll also find a 25-inch flat-screen TV for catching up on your fave shows, plus complimentary Wi-Fi to keep you connected and posting those holiday snaps.

Food & Drink

When hunger strikes, you've got options! There's a cracking restaurant on-site ready to serve up some delish grub, or if you're after something a bit lighter, hit up the snack bar/deli. And for that essential holiday tipple, the bar/lounge is ready and waiting to quench your thirst. Don't forget to grab a buffet breakfast daily to fuel up for your adventures (for a small fee, of course!).

Sports & Entertainment

Fancy a bit of R&R after all that exploring? Dive into the refreshing indoor pool, melt your stress away in the sauna, or hit the fitness centre to keep those holiday gains in check. If you're feeling extra fancy, treat yourself to a massage or body treatment for some proper pampering. And for those with kiddos, babysitting services are available (for a surcharge) so you can enjoy some grown-up time – result!
