Cottages in Porto District

"Our hosts, Maria Eugenia and Jose, were amazing! Kind, informative, generous, helpful, I can't say enough about them. We stayed for four days, two couples in the larger home. It was spacious, each couple with their own bathroom. We ate most of our meals at home. Our comadre caught a cold right upon arrival. She had a comfortable place to read, rest and recover, while we enjoyed the pool and had such a wonderful outing in the boat on the Douro river. This was definitely a once in a life time...

"We thoroughly enjoyed our two week stay. A well equipped house and the fresh water pool was a delight. The views are lovely. Arie was a great host (don't forget to ask for directions). A great getaway location with easy access (30 mins by car) to Beaches, Porto, Amarante, River Duoro etc. There is much to do in the area: sight seeing, walking, riding bikes, train ride, swimming in the sea and rivers. Everyone we came across was very friendly. We'd love to come back!"

"Great place, highly recommend. Very friendly owners and really convenient area. "

"Everything was as advertised ,clean and functional. The host went out of her way to make sure that my experience was first class and it was. A big shout out to her neighbor who pitch hit for her When she hurt her leg. It’s very close to the train station maybe five minutes by car and it made the right into Douro very very easy."

"We had an amazing stay. The area and the house are beauriful, with one of the best views in the world. The host ,Sebastio, was super friendly and helpful and made sure that we will have the best experience. Our kids loved the place and we all can't wait to go there again. "

"This quaint property is very close to the ocean and all that Villa Gaia offers. The owner lives onsite and was easy to contact via app. We enjoyed our stay and will visit again when in the area."

"We received fantastic directions to this serene house nestled in the hills near the Douro River. Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by the owners, who took pride in showcasing their beautiful home. The well-equipped kitchen became our hub for preparing both hearty breakfasts and delightful dinners. The wood stove in the living room added a touch of warmth to our evenings, creating an inviting ambiance. For added comfort, portable radiators were thoughtfully placed in every room. We even had...

"Fatima welcomed and attended to us as if we were family. Deonilde delivered fresh bread in the morning and did our laundry. The view was spectacular, especially poolside. Well equipped kitchen, two modern bathrooms and yes, the Wifi works! Other than the first night dinner out, we enjoyed eating on the lovely terrace."

"We spent a lovely week at Casa do Vimieiro. We were 2 couples, and the house was spacious comfortable, and clean. Susana responded to queries very promptly. The countryside is beautiful. My only caution is that driving in the area is not for the faint of heart. Also, people with mobility issues should avoid the house as there are many stairs and uneven steps going into the property. Finding the best route to the house is a challenge. The GPS we used took us on a harrowing ride. We later found...

"The house is very comfortable and well equipped. We were 8 adults two children and one small dog in total. While on the ground floor the common area suited the group well, everyone couple/family had its own room and space upstairs. The garden is great and has an awesome view to a small vineyard and corn plantation. As the house is fenced, the dog and the children could freely play without further concerns. We had 3 cars in total, but 4 could for sure be parked inside the terrain. A very...

"Fabulous for chillout time at the end of a day of sightseeing "

"This is a 300-year-old farmhouse that has been converted on a very quiet spot in a middle class, safe and retirement looking (?) neighborhood. There was a bedroom and bath upstairs and a bedroom and bath plus another half bath downstairs with a kitchen that was compact but had everything you needed and a lovely outdoor space. If you're looking for modern perfection instead of character, you'll find only the best character here. There is a grocery store nearby and you can walk the train in about...

"Beautiful location, fantastic view over river and lush green hills, a true gem!"

"Sugiro contacto telefónico prévio, na véspera do check in, com o gestor do apartamento."

"We stayed for 3 nights. Beautiful old house, view of water below was so lovely. Enjoyed the pool but it was a little late in the year so it was just a little cold for us at our age. We still did get into it twice. Kitchen had all the pots and utensils we needed. We would love to stay here again when in Portugal."

"What's a great place very quiet and secluded with a nicely fenced backyard and a pool. Definitely looking forward and staying there again"

"Casa excelente para unas magnificas vacaciones en el Norte de Portugal. Perfecta para un grupo de 10 personas. Casa en excelentes condiciones. Dispone de todo lo que se pueda requerir!"
