Waterfront holiday rentals in Gondomar

We had an excellent time staying at Le Blanche! Everything was exactly as described. Bed and couch were very comfy, the view was magical, and it was in an easily accessible location. We enjoyed the novelty of the futuristic design and we are glad we stayed there!

Our stay was wonderful! Pedro was incredibly helpful and attentive throughout. Even though we happened to be there during a nationwide power outage, both he and the neighbors were kind and supportive, which made a big difference. Pedro arranged for us to be picked up from the airport and later taken to the bus station by a private driver, Bruno, who was not only a great driver but also very kind and professional. Pedro stayed in touch throughout our stay and was always available whenever we needed anything. The only downside of our stay was the shower—it didn’t have a handheld showerhead, and it was mounted quite high, so it was difficult to avoid getting your hair wet even if you didn’t want to. Thank you for everything!

Second segment of the trip, since we extended for two more days and this alone speaks a world. My wife and I will be back!! Thank you very much to Maria and José

We had a fantastic stay! The unit is extremely well located, just a few minutes from a bunch of port wine cellars & a very short walk to the other side of the river and main attractions. The view was outstanding!! I would highly recommend this unit for a stay in Porto.

Thanks, Cristina for hosting us in your beautiful apartment. Wished we could stay longer.

Amazing stay. Over than our expectation. Clean and quite with amazing sea view. Will recommend to our friends.

This AirB&B is perfectly located, as you can see from the pictures it overlooks the Douro River and the square below. The unit feels very homey when you walk in and having the elevator was an added bonus. The streets in Portugal are steep in places and generally cobblestone, so keep that in mind when picking your shoe and luggage choices. The main bedroom has two single beds that can be pushed together, right outside that room is a small loveseat that has a pullout bed, and the couch in the living room has a pullout as well. We visited during Easter holiday weekend, so we quickly found out that sleeping in the living room was not advisable as there isn't much sound barrier from the square, esp. since one widow doesn't have glass - just wooden shutters. Luckily, we only stayed two nights, so we made it work. Overall, the unit was great and we'd definitely stay there again.

Great stay, location was perfect for what we wanted. 1.5 hour walk along the river to Porto. Bus and Tram also easily accessible. Views to the sea and only a 3 minute stroll to the beach.

Thanks for Bruno He made us comfortable right away. Great places to visit the very quiet house. Thank you for everything

I picked this place initially for the location and the photos looked wonderful as well. Then I made sure to read some of the reviews and that is what sealed the deal for me on booking this place! Every review was raving about Cristina and how great her and Joaquin are. The home looked just like the pictures, it was so beautiful and peaceful there. Cristina and Joaquin were great at giving us help with finding wonderful local places to eat and with directions to different places. I have never had such a wonderful experience with the hosts as I did with Cristina, she really made me feel like we were family. Such a great place to stay, when I make it back to Porto, this is where I’ll be staying!!

After you go through the door at street level you walk up a flight of exterior stairs to the front door. The two main bedrooms, kitchen, dining room and bathrooms are on this level then up open stairs to sitting area and additional beds. The apartment is beautifully designed and decorated and beds are very comfortable. It’s very quiet at night. One small store with some food about five minutes away. Clara is very friendly and helpful.

One of our all time favorite places. Epic location and super responsive host! Cant wait to come back!

A very quiet, rustic and rural setting. Sooooooo peaceful. Fantastic place to escape the city, get some rest and reconnect with nature. The outdoor, wood-heated bath was great, although it did seem a little decadent for just one person. Ideal for a couple. There is a river and Diogo (who is very friendly and very helpful) said he has a canoe. Although it was still quite cool in the mornings (early April), there is a wood-burner and an AC unit that also heats. The driveway is do-able but more for adventurous drivers. The village (Macieira da Maia) is very authentic and it is only about 10-15 min to the beach. Vila do Conde has a beautiful old-town. Many great beaches along the coast. Braga is only about 40 min, Oporto, about 20-30 min by car.

Bad weather didn't disturb my calm stay at Aguda's beach. Close to restaurants and the train station (Porto 20min), Aguda is a perfect spot for a rest, with the place right in front of the beach with fully functional facilities (including washing machine). Elisa was very reactive and attentive, which was greatly appreciated.

José was spectacular, the house has a very nice clean space.

Great experience. Well-stocked house, and comfortable. Conveniently located in front of the beach. Very helpful host and attentive to needs.

We had a wonderful week in Felipes apartment. As host, Filipe was the most helpful we have ever had. Local tips, helpfulness and service - and a nice sence of humour. The apartment were big, and the terrasse is a wonder with it's stunning view. We have already booked our next stay at Filipes; actually we did, whilst we were sitting i the apartment:-)

The flat was superb, beautifully appointed and right in the middle of the historic part of the city. We could not have asked for a better location. Thank you!!

We have never experienced such a well-maintained, clean and well-equipped apartment. It corresponds 100% to the photos. There is a large underground parking lot. The landlord Manuel took care of things proactively and asked several times if everything was okay. The location is right on the main beach of Esmoriz, separated only by the waterfront road. However, it should be noted that at the end of August, a fair takes place right in front of the house with corresponding volume in the afternoon and evening.

The location was SPECTACULAR! Right by the train station, a great bar outside your front door, amazing food everywhere.. could not have asked for a better location. The home was clean, cozy and super stylish! Couldn’t have asked for better!!

Very nice apartment, as described and shown in photos. Antonio is very welcoming and accommodating the view from the apartment is just amazing Antonio's touches like coffee, dishwasher pods and laundry are a very nice addition. i recommend this listing

A magnificent apartment in the modern house, with super nice decor. Very stylishly decorated with Portuguese charm! Everything top and clean! Best location, 1 minute to beach, kiosk, bakery and several restaurants with cheap but great food, where even police officers go out for dinner during their break! To the train station 10 minutes, to Porto about 35 minutes. To Lidl also only about 10 minutes. "Quiet" location but in the middle of the locals, the fishermen provide the rest of the authentic flair! We will be back!

This apartment is spectacular!! It has the feel of a luxury San Francisco penthouse apartment. We could listen to the waves at night. Multiple restaurants are within a 2 block area! While It's not technically IN Porto, it's a very inexpensive Uber ride away...and we saw a lot of the city that way without having to walk! The platform bed setup as one solid bed was a bit challenging for an older couple, but overall, the apartment made it worth the challenge! We'd definitely stay there again!

The apartment is on the 15th floor, overlooking Porto and the Sea (in the background). The rooms, the kitchen and the equipment as they appear in the photographs, even something better. The apartment includes one parking space in the building garage. What we liked most has been that the avenue where the apartment is located is directed directly towards the center of Porto passing through the can of Don Luís I, only the view from the bridge is already worth this walk.
