Neighbourhood
Foz do Douro still feels like its own little village. Dripping down the steep hills of the city‘s waterfront all the way to the river mouth, where the Douro meets the Atlantic Ocean, the colorful houses are washed in the warmness of the light at sunset. Here you will find small quirky shops selling fishing gear, old-style grocery shops with local fresh produce and high quality gourmet products, as well as high-end unique fashion or interior design shops. You can spend hours roaming the sidewalks bordering the mouth of the Douro river, from the historic tower and former lighthouse of "São-Miguel-O-Anjo", to the gorgeous "Passeio Alegre" with its lush greenery, and "Avenida D. Carlos I", outlined by its beautiful palmtrees, all the way until the Senhora da Luz lighthouse and the first beaches of the city. This is a rather quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Public transportation is available in the form of buses and also the historic tram line, which connects "Passeio Alegre" to the old city center.

About
I'm Rosarinho Cruz, I paint and create jewellery. It’s with great joy that I invite you to discover my Atelier by the Sea, where I breathe in the ocean, see the changing blues, and am lulled by the waves as I create like there’s no tomorrow. With pieces chosen “close to my heart,” I shaped a personal haven that inspires me and brings deep peace. When I travel, I open its doors to kindred spirits, hoping this little corner awakens something special in you and brings the same joy it brings me.
Space
It’s such a joy to share this very special little corner with you, even though I’m away. This duplex is my refuge where the quiet of the sea embraces the energy of art, a place where I feel inspired and comfortable, truly at home. When I’m here, I love to sit on the velvet sofa, surrounded by pieces I’ve carefully chosen, each bringing personality and a touch of my artistic soul. The painting table is always there, a silent invitation to creativity, even when I’m not painting. The small bedroom on the ground floor is my intimate hideaway, a windowless room that invites peaceful rest, a warm and cozy space for those who appreciate silence and serenity, and it’s entirely decorated with watercolours painted by me. Up on the mezzanine, the main bedroom opens up in light and softness, with architectural lines that flow gently. The queen-size bed is the perfect invitation for deep sleep, and the traditional European crib, with neoclassical details, is a little decorative treasure that fills me with tenderness. This bedroom is open to the rest of the duplex, with no doors or full walls. I love this fluidity, this feeling of open space that connects everything harmoniously. Please note that some areas have lower ceilings, which add a cozy touch. The bathroom is vibrant and joyful, with red tiles that echo the colorful kitchen, where the sea-green chairs and blue ceramics always make me smile. The rainfall shower is a small luxury I adore, perfect for relaxing after a day by the sea. The kitchen is compact but full of life. It’s my little spot to calmly prepare meals, surrounded by the vibrant colors that inspire me so much. It’s fully equipped with everything I need to cook, making every moment there simple and pleasurable. Foz do Douro is the neighborhood where this atelier breathes. A calm, charming place where the nearby beach always makes me feel renewed. The restaurants and shops nearby are perfect for discovering the best Porto has to offer, and public transport makes exploring the city easy. A small note from me: the apartment is split over two floors connected by stairs, and reaching the building also requires climbing a few steps - for me, every step is part of the experience, an introduction to the charm of this place. I hope you feel here the same peace and inspiration that I do. Welcome and make yourself at home! — Rosarinho

Interaction
When you arrive, my wonderful partners at BnBird Homes - who take care of my place and guests while I’m away - will be there to welcome you warmly. To make sure everything goes smoothly and you can settle in without delay, could you please send me your flight number and your estimated arrival time at least 48 hours before? This little detail helps them prepare and give you the best welcome possible. Without it, they might not be able to greet you right away, so your help with this means a lot. While you’re here, they’re also just a message away if you have any questions or want some local tips to make your stay even more special. I hope you feel at home and enjoy every moment!
Other information
I want to share a few things to help you feel comfortable and know what to expect during your stay at my place: •The apartment is self-catered, and I’ll have some basic essentials waiting for you when you arrive - like toiletries for the first day and toilet paper. These are just a welcome gift, so please note we don’t provide refills during your stay. •Bed and bath linens are provided for the number of guests on your reservation. If you stay longer than 7 nights, fresh linens will be ready for you at check-in, at no extra cost. •The cleaning fee covers only the final clean after you leave. If you’d like extra cleaning or fresh linens during your stay, just let us know at least 24 hours ahead (there’s a small additional charge for that). •Portuguese law requires us to collect your passport details when you check in. •Check-out is by 11:00. Before you leave, please leave the keys on the main table. •Please take care of the keys during your stay. Don’t leave them in the lock or mailbox. If you lose them or if they get damaged, or if a technician is needed to open the door, any costs will be your responsibility. •If you’re traveling with little ones, I have a crib and baby chair available upon request (there’s a small extra fee). •For stays of 28 days or more, if monthly utility bills go over €150, the extra amount will be charged separately. If you have any questions or want to know more, just reach out. We’re here to help!
