    Photo Album

    View of the Dom Luis Bridge and some port lodges from one of the waterfront rooms.View of the house from the River side. It is the middle one with the black tiles. The house is a national monument: a fisherman that lived there invented a famous codfish dish with his name, cod "á Gomes de Sá". The house is about 250 years old and excavations during construction showed roman beached under the house.
    The promenade along the river in front of the house. The sun showed suddenly, after a big storm. What a beautiful always changing light, the river offers us every minute.View of Fonte Taurina Street, one of the oldest of Porto, first referenced in 1296. The While house across from us is where Henry the Navigator was born. It is a little museum where you can view some roman ruins.
    Another view of the river from a waterfront room.View of our house from Fonte Taurina Street where the entrance is.
