"I highly recommend this new Fado music event in a beautiful manor. The experience was very intimate, as they had just started the week before the event we attended. There were only 9 of us in a beautiful old mansion with a stunning garden. Look at this beautiful garden while we wait for the Fado music performance. Claudia was so charming, and they offered free bottled water, Porto sweet pastries, and Porto wine. There are only 14 seats, and 5 seats were empty. Since they only started a week before we went, it is very new and not well known at all. I have read that Fado events are often packed and so popular that people at the back can’t see, so I chose somewhere that wasn’t the cheapest and looked good."
