Holiday rentals with breakfast in Guimaraes

This was a dream vacation - we had just moved to Portugal and spent 2 weeks getting setup. We wanted a quiet week as a family to rest before school started. This place was perfect: perched on a mountainside in the middle of vines, the space was quiet, peaceful and beautifully designed and appointed. Paulo, the husband, is an architect who refurbishes vintage designer furniture. Teyna, the wife, is an amazing chef. Her breakfasts (included) we delicious and the dinners they offer in their adjoining restaurant and well crafted and tasty. Their place is pet friendly - we brought our dog, and they have a dog, two cats and two birds. We did outings to Porto, nearby Roman ruins, historic villages and swam in the rivers running through them. It was delightful.

Nuno’s place exceeded our expectations. It has a beautiful balcony with a view over the Douro river. The pool area is peaceful and breakfast provided was an added bonus. Nuno was very helpful and provided us with great recommendations for wine tasting and spots to visit. The apartment is spacious, clean and has a small kitchen which we were able to use to cook in the evenings.

The absolute Comfiest bed in the most serene surroundings. A must needed respite after a multi-day festival. The church bells and the mewling cows brought peace and joy to my soul.

Probably the nicest Airbnb I’ve ever stayed at and I’ve stayed at lots. The views are incredible, the warm and friendly hosts that are about the nicest people you could hope to meet, the comfortable unique house, it was all magical.

Dajas Douro Valley was perhaps more beautiful than the photos! It was the perfect place to relax between adventures in Lisbon and Porto. We especially loved spending time by the pool by day and cozying up with a bottle of wine by the fire pit by night. Alexandra and Tatiana were very welcoming. A few tips for future guests: The property is nestled in the hillside which means it is at least 20 minutes from towns/restaurants. We rented a car which was helpful for exploring nearby areas, but be prepared for many narrow, steep and winding roads! We found that Waze gave better directions (less rustic) than Google maps. We also wished we had stopped at a grocery store to stock up on some food for our villa before arriving. I also recommend booking reservations at local wineries as we didn’t have much luck just showing up (midweek at least). My husband and I would absolutely stay here again!

We were a group of 9 guests. Check-in and check-out were very comfortable. The house has plenty of amenities and indoor and outdoor pool. Having breakfast every morning has been great. It was also very varied and very rich. A highly recommended house for large groups.

Spectacular , will be back !!!

I loved staying in Vila Coura, I would definitely stay again. Célia was charming, very helpful. We were able to check in at the appropriate time, explained everything to us about the space, the breakfasts, etc., it was super available to meet any of our requests anytime. The room was very comfortable, clean and cute. We had firewood to light the fireplace and we had a super pleasant atmosphere. The water is very hot too and the bed is super comfortable. I highly recommend!

Wonderful host, great location, and outstanding, quiet accommodations.

You'll get more than you see. Very quiet and in beautiful area. The host is humble and tidy. Excellent. At least 6 stars.

We thank Aderito for all his advice. We had a pleasant stay. We highly recommend it.

This was a perfect location to enjoy Porto. Right on the river with a view of the bridge. The apartment was wonderful, clean, well appointed and decorated. We would stay here again!

Clean, roomy and comfortable apartment. Great patio. Very good communication. Paula was at the apartment on our arrival to introduce the apartment. A nice port and cookies were provided gratis, which was appreciated. Breakfast provided every morning was tasty and convenient. Highly recommend.

Alexandra’s place was wonderful in the middle of everything. Alexandra is a wonderful host ready with all kind of help and a kitchen full of goodies. Would stay again in a minute.

Heaven on earth! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing home. We will never forget it. Or you. Or the dogs!!! Happy Christmas!!

Jean and Luz are the perfect airbnb hosts. The communication was prompt, they met us when checking in and gave us a house tour and instructions. The house itself was tastefully decorated. The location is perfect, 5 mins walkable to city center with lots of restaurants around. We had a very comfortable and relaxing stay and would definitely recommend their place to anyone who is looking for a stay in Porto!

While visiting Portugal for a wedding, we enjoyed our stay very much. Very welcoming, impeccable cleanliness, very helpful host. We had a great stay.

We were overnight stays And this one was nice Angélique is an extremely available, welcoming and warm host. And the homes it offers are comfortable and functional She even set up a kitchen for everyone to eat and drop things off In short, we would recommend this property!

Thank you Marta for being our host. It was a pleasure!

Really enjoyed the hostel and would stay again. It was focused around the surfing in the morning which was great, Marco is a great teacher and you get plenty of time on the waves. Raquel is a lovely host and the food is excellent, there's a bit of a lack of local things to do and places to eat within walking distance but the nearest city isn't too far if you want to explore in the afternoons/evenings. Would totally reccomend the hostel to anyone wanting to learn how to surf, many thanks : )

Our stay at Quinta Dos Carqueijais was a perfect 10/10! We chose the Villa das Oliveiras, which offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the surroundings. It truly feels like you're immersed in the forest with beautiful views of the lake. The entire property is seamlessly integrated with nature, creating an idyllic setting for complete disconnection. The accommodation itself is stunning, perfectly equipped, and incredibly comfortable—far better than what you might expect from the photos. The breakfast is plentiful, with great attention to detail. Additionally, we had the chance to enjoy the spa facilities, which include a jacuzzi, sauna, massages, and a heated indoor pool, all at a very competitive rate. Quinta Dos Carqueijais is the perfect place to unwind for a weekend getaway or to celebrate a special occasion near the Peneda-Gerês National Park

Loved everything about this place. Inês was a wonderful host, she was friendly and welcoming, ensuring our stay was comfortable from start to finish. The property is a beautiful oasis, perfect for a countryside retreat. I couldn’t recommend this place more (If I could give 6 stars, I would!)

There are very few places that can live up to the moniker of a truly special location. It take a rare blend of a thoughtful beautiful space, impeccable service, and genuine/ super friendly hosts. My only regret about writing this review is that I am sure once people discover this gem I will find it very difficult to find an available opening again as it is sure to be in high demand. Enrico and his entire family are the perfect hosts, the included simple breakfast of fresh bread, yogurt, fruit and assorted cheese is such a nice treat to wake up to every morning and partake in their amazing Dining Room. I can't recommend highly enough trying their tasting dinner in the evening, as Enrico apparently is a 1 start rated Michelin Chef and the food is amazing. Even if you don't book a room to stay in you should go to the restaurant one evening if you are in Porto. My room was spotless, very comfortable and beautifully laid out. Super Comfortable Bed as well. This place is special.

I had such a lovely stay with them! They are absolutely super friendly and the location is just superb. Next time I would come back there!
