Gaia Residence - A mix of Holiday Goers But More Business-Like
Travelled on 06/2026
We stayed for week at the Gaia Residence in Villa Nova. The room and bedding were comfortable but would have been complete if there were free private tv channels offered for the price and stars that we paid for. Villa Nova is quite isolated from and away from the hustle and bustle of Porto. The tram station is a good 10- minute walk from the hotel but we didn't mind as we landed at Villa Nova Devesas train station w...

Beyond expectations
Travelled on 05/2026

Lovely rooms
Travelled on 04/2026

The reception is modern and clean. When we went to our rooms, they were very large and the beds were comfortable. However, they are also worn and tired. The windows were dirty and had a stain all across so you couldnt se...

Mixed experience at Gaia Residence
Travelled on 04/2026
We arrived and were not sure if this was the Gaia residence as theres no signage for this - only Holiday Inn signage.
As soon as we checked in we were treated like second class citizens, different lift around the back were paint is chipped off the walls. We had to pay to go in the pool (their website Nor easyJet website which we booked from did not give this info). Room is clean and comfortable, but its supposed...
