Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Vila Nova de Gaia

A very well-equipped house in a lovely seaside village, larger than the photos make it seem. Antonio greeted us like we were old friends and was really helpful with a couple of logistical issues caused by our late arrival. Miramar is a smashing little spot with a couple of nice eateries. 20 minutes on the train from central Porto and half an hour walk down the beach to the more bustling village of Aguda.

This was a lovely Airbnb for us with 5 adults and a baby. Nick was so friendly and gave great local recommendations. The neighbourhood is a short metro into the city centre, but had nice local cafes and restaurants and was very close to groceries.

Elisa was a great host. The apartment was very nice, wonderful location right on the beach on a little busy road. Great restaurants within walking distance. We'd love to come back. Thank you Elisa!

The accommodation is ideal for families or large groups, the house is located in a pleasant environment with easy parking 15 min drive from Porto. I would highlight the kitchen that was very spacious and we had a fantastic time in the Office with its large table and large windows in the forest. The sofa area in the living room was more austere and we didn't change all of us. The only thing to take into account in the kitchen is that there is no dishwasher or washing machine. The bathrooms are all very well, one on the ground floor and 2 on the first floor, one of them en-suite, so the only one left is that there is only 1 bathroom left for the rest of the 3 bedrooms + those that are in the attic since they have no bathroom, although it has a small wash and a vanity. The best room is the one in the en-suite bathroom, the rest have bad mattresses, especially the 2 90cm mattresses. Finally, highlighting Mr. Arthur's very kind treatment, he was an excellent host, always very willing to help make our stay perfect.

The space is wonderful! Was the best airbnb I've ever stayed in. It had everything we needed, even shampoo, softener, towels for the pool! I want to return for a stay of more days and enjoy the rest of the house and I will recommend 100%! It is 20 minutes from Porto and there are ubers on site. The pool space and jacuzzi is very nice, both with the indoor pool and discovery! The temperature of the pool is wonderful! Tiago was always ready to answer any operating questions or location! Thank you for this amazing weekend!

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

I had a great stay at Daniel’s home. The sun was hitting beautifully and the space was perfect for my one night stay. It was also very close to the airport, which I needed to be at by 430 a.m. would definitely stay again for longer!

The house is located by the sea (the beach is less than a 5-minute walk away) and overlooks a garden. We had a lovely stay there and were able to easily visit the surroundings (Gaia, Aveiro, Porto). Special mention for Hugo who is very available and provides good advice.

Great vacation in this apartment. Very well located. To repeat

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

The apartment is very comfortable , perfect for those who go to rest , very close to the Exponor that is where we went .

Gorgeous very atmospheric apartment in a chic neighborhood! The living room is tastefully decorated, the house has a lot of vintage items. At the same time, absolutely everything is functional. Three fully equipped bathrooms, large volume of shower gel. Very well equipped kitchen. There is absolutely everything you need for cooking, pots, pans, all the necessary details, there is even a blender, a coffee machine and coffee capsules. The apartment is very spacious and bright. The living room and dining room overlook the avenue, literally one block from the House of Music, and all bedrooms overlook the yard, so it's comfortable and quiet to sleep. Very nice comfortable beds and pillows. Communication with Tiago was pleasant, he was very detailed and answered quickly to messages. Check in was perfect, we didn't wait a minute! Also, Tiago sent us a detailed guide with recommendations. I am grateful to Tiago for her hospitality and I am very happy that we chose his beautiful home. And I hope to come back again!

My family of 4 ( 2 adults, 2teens) stayed at the manor house for 4 nights in April. What a unique house! Beautiful building right next to the Se cathedral - right in the heart of the city. Instructions were clear and we were able to store our luggage onsite prior to official check in. The home has an outstanding view and it is light, bright and airy with outstanding period charm. The beds were comfortable, water pressure good but the WiFi was glitchy. The owner was very responsive and went above and beyond when my son forgot his cell phone in the apartment after we checked out. The owner facilitated immediate retrieval which allowed us to catch our bus on time! It was much appreciated! I would recommend staying here!

Great host and fantastic apartment in a wonderful area

The six of us have had it super at Marcos . was also very nice that we could return to the apartment for two more nights when we could not fly to the Netherlands due to power failure. We also enjoyed Porto and we went to the city and back with a bolt. It is highly recommended. Super thanks Marcos

Really lovely apartment, quaint traditional style and furnishings. Brilliant location in a vibrant city, easy to walk to all the major sights and countless restaurants & cafes in between. There was a nearby outdoor concert on one of the nights and that part of own got quite lively, and the place isn't particularly soundproof, so I wish I'd brought earplugs. Would stay here again!

Great place to stay was clean and relaxing and the pool was great for the family. The host was very helpful and friendly, informed us of local restaurants and events in the area including a medieval festival that was taking place whilst we were there. Communication was easy, was more than happy to help. Thank you again!

We stayed for more than a week at Manuela's place and had a great time. Manuela and her son Daniel were very welcoming from the check-in till then end of the stay (thanks for the delicious port wine!). The house is better than the pictures - cozy living room, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and lovely garden ... with a hot tub! Porto old city is 20mins drive, Aveiro is 40mins and Douro Valley is around 1.20mins from the place. There is a lovely restaurant by the river around 500mts away. Steep down and uphill walk but amazing views and very good traditional Portugese food. Good to have own transport (you can park inside or on the street) but there is a bus stop just few feet away from the house (we didn't use it as we had our own car). Overall a lovely stay. Thanks Manuela and Daniel for hosting us!

Beautiful home in amazing location! Antonio’s place was incredible. More than enough space for family of 5 with really picturesque courtyards for enjoying the mild temperatures plus it was just across the street from the beach. The home was well-appointed, clean and had all we needed to make meals at home. It is a truly special place and Antonio was a wonderful, responsive host. We loved the restaurant he recommended. Can’t wait to come back again!

Manu is a very welcoming host, with plenty of good tips on sightseeing (cellars on the Douro...) and must-see places. Recommended without hesitation. The proposed accommodation is as described and has plenty of space (very well equipped and very clean)

Renovated in 2015, the house has three bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms. It was a great place to stay for a week to view Porto and surroundings. Reception was extremely friendly, very warm. The house features a beautiful terrace, a (unheated) infinity pool with beautiful views over the valley and Duoro and features a (clean!) Weber BBQ. Lots of privacy to enjoy with your company outside. 15-20 Mbps internet sufficient to prepare you digitally for a day trip. Despite the fact that the fire alarm system was not completely stable, the owner has done everything possible to improve this during our stay. For a stay just outside Porto with peace and space, this is a great location.

The Villa was clean, super spacious and equipped with everything you might need. Just a 2 min walk from the beach, with a bakery and some restaurants also close by. Everything worked out just perfect and we had no complaints and Clara responded to messages relatively quickly. We really enjoyed the Villa and our stay. The only issue was communicating with the person who we had to contact when we needed something once we stayed at the Villa, response to our questions was usually late.

The house was very lovely. Super clean and everything just like described. The view was beautiful. The city center is easy to reach by Uber. Clare was a lovely host. Very easy to reach and replied fast. She gave us a lot of great recommendations.

Daniel and Katrina are already good friends. They are good people, easy to communicate and very helpful. They were impeccable in welcoming my family into their home. I highly recommend them!
