3-Bedroom Apartment with Ocean Views in a Gated Community

Canidelo is today one of the most sought-after areas of Greater Porto. Set on the southern bank of the mouth of the Douro, between the river, the ocean and the Douro Estuary Local Nature Reserve, this part of Vila Nova de Gaia combines proximity to the city with a preserved natural setting like few other places. It is within this privileged context that Quinta Marques Gomes unfolds, a 27-hectare natural amphitheatre stretching from the top of the hill down to the banks of the Douro, with Residences Lote 8 occupying its highest position.

The location places all the essentials just minutes away. The beaches of Canidelo and Cabedelo, the Afurada Marina and its former fishing quarter, now transformed into one of Gaia's most attractive riverside destinations, are right next door. Crossing the Arrábida Bridge, Porto's Foz district, Boavista and the city centre are only a few minutes away. Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport is around 20 minutes by car, and direct access to the A1, A44 and VL9 ensures fast connections throughout the region and the country.

The surrounding area also offers everything family life requires: leading international schools along the Porto-Gaia axis, private hospitals, El Corte Inglés and Arrábida Shopping, golf courses, sailing clubs and a fast-growing dining scene along the riverfront, from Afurada to Cais de Gaia.

Adding to this is a decisive driver of future appreciation: the new Ruby Line (Linha Rubi) of the Porto Metro, currently under construction and scheduled for completion in 2028. This line will connect Gaia directly to Casa da Música, in Boavista, via a new bridge over the Douro, the D. Antónia Ferreira Bridge ("a Ferreirinha"), reserved exclusively for the metro, pedestrians and cyclists. The Arrábida station, one of six planned on the Gaia side, will be within easy reach of Quinta Marques Gomes, bringing the development even closer to the heart of Porto and reinforcing the appreciation potential of this entire riverfront.

Living at Residences Lote 8 therefore means being at the centre of everything without giving anything up: the serenity of a private condominium overlooking the Douro estuary, with Porto, the sea and the region's main infrastructure just minutes away, in one of the most dynamic areas for property appreciation in northern Portugal.
