“A relaxing stay in a surprisingly lovely city”
We chose this houseboat because it had a jacuzzi, and I was hoping to spend a lot of time in it with a glass of wine and a cheeseboard. The boat itself is very comfortable and relaxing, and a 5‑minute walk takes you to a decent grocery store. Vigo is a lovely city to explore, and the Questo scavenger hunt is a good way to get a feel for the area. When it gets hot, the jacuzzi is fantastic—perfect size for two, and there’s nothing like sitting in a hot tub on a cold morning before the sun rises, staring at the stars. On the downside, parking is about a 7‑minute walk from the boat and costs roughly EUR20 per day. We were told the jacuzzi would take “a couple of hours” to heat, but it actually took 24, even though 12 was warm enough, so we didn’t get as much time in it as we wanted. The boat doesn’t have a kettle; it has a Bosch Tassimo that needed descaling, so we could never get it to work, and no coffee tablets were supplied. Luckily there’s a microwave, so we could heat water. There’s only one flimsy plastic knife on board, which I couldn’t use to cut cheese, and just one bath towel for three guests.
