Family-friendly holiday rentals in Apúlia

A truly memorable stay. The landscape was breathtaking — wildflowers, birdsong, horses, and morning mist over the valley created a dreamlike atmosphere. The spa facilities and infinity pool, set against stunning views, were especially restorative. The cabin is compact but surrounded by natural beauty. We loved waking to the sounds of birds and nearby waterfall — simply idyllic. There was occasional noise from grounds maintenance, but it didn’t detract too much from the overall impression. The host was communicative and flexible with our arrival time. Thoughtful touches like the welcome wine and chocolate cake made us feel right at home. Everything was smooth and easy, and we found some fantastic local restaurants. The surrounding area is full of charm, with quiet walks, friendly people, and views we’ll never forget. We spent our days exploring and simply soaking it all in. This place made us fall in love with Portugal — we’re already looking forward to returning. Thank you!

This is a stunning place secluded away from anything nearby. Great for a retreat to be restful, listen to nature and admire the beautiful horses. Cheila was an incredible host, super responsive to any questions or comments and gave us some beautiful lemons from her tree. The house is really well throughout and all amenities are included. Thank you so much for a beautiful stay. ❤️

Amazing Space! Perfect for a few days of rest, surrounded by nature. It's exactly like the pictures. It's really worth spending a few days here. And we couldn't ask for a better host, super available and cozy. We'll definitely come back!

Spacious, comfortable house with beautiful outdoor space, very pleasant shaded terrace. Good location for visiting Porto and the Douro Valley. "Méandro" restaurant next door, cheap, excellent with splendid views of the Douro. Graça and her husband are welcoming and responsive. The only downside is the presence of barking dogs++ (kennel?). Graça has nothing to do with it, but noise nuisance to report.

Great experience Definitely to repeat, but more days... Very cozy house with everything you need No worries Simple check in and check out Staff always very nice, friendly, attentive, helpful

Very peaceful and quiet , enjoy the landscape and vineyards, lovely holiday. The hosts are very kind and friendly people, will definitely come back if in the area☺️

David was very welcoming and helpful! Very clean place that has everything you need. It was super comfortable and we had a lot of space.

Very nice loft, good location. I had not specially prepared our stay and there were no recommendations except a map of the city. Hosts' good addresses are always appreciated!

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

Amazing property and view. We had a terrific time. The property worked great for our group. Best sunset! Marco and his crew were extremely responsive. Driving in the Douro Valley is not for the faint of heart. We had a ball!

We had a wonderful stay at the Manor House in Porto! The highlight was definitely the terrace — we spent every evening out there enjoying the stunning views across the river. It was the perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring the city. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a scenic and peaceful stay in Porto.

Just got back from staying 4 days in this wonderful apartment. Everything was as describe. Close to all the amenities that Porto has to offer. I would 100% recommend this apartment to anyone thinking of a trip to Porto.

Amazing location, lots of space, bathroom for each room. Check in is fully remote. We arrived a few minutes early so needed to coordinate with the support through WApp to get in a few minutes before our check in time. Theoretically fully keyless, but they recommended keeping keys because the outer door can be deadbolted by other residents (though we didn’t run into this). Two sets of keys.

We had an excellent stay thanks to the quality of the accommodation and its location. We even wanted to come back a few days later but the accommodation was already booked. We were also able to drop off our suitcases before check-in time!

Beautiful family cottage in an area that is not so touristy, just outside the well kept town of Cinfaes. Accommodation is rustic but still with all amenities you could want, so it’s perfect. Paulo is very kind and responsive. No issues.

Luis’ place was excellent! There is a little park area with many great restaurants just around the corner. Luis offered many helpful recommendations. The place was spotless and had a great little balcony to sit out on. It’s close to most tourists spots if you are a walker. There are 2 flights of steps, in case that is an issue for you. We would recommend this place to friends! Brian & Lesley Vancouver, Canada

We really enjoyed our stay at Tue’s house. It is a great size with good bedrooms and plenty of living space. Ideal for our family of 7. The house is well equipped with plenty to do - swimming pool, bikes, pool table, large garden etc. The local area is very quiet with a good beach and some nice local walks. The weather wasn’t great while we were there, which was unfortunate and meant we couldn’t make full use of the pool etc. but it was great on the sunny days. It could perhaps be improved with some soft covers for the sun beds and maybe another sun umbrella. All in all though we had a great stay.

We had a great time. The apartment lived up to our expectations, impeccably clean. This is the first rental we find so perfect in every way. The refrigerator was equipped with provisions to help us out for several days, as well as fruit, milk, coffee, tea, fruit juice. Thank you so much for your warm welcome. I recommend this rental without a second thought. Thanks

We had a great stay, we will definitely go back. The house is extremely comfortable, beautiful and versatile, it gives both a warm and cold height. The location is perfect, both for those who want to know Gerês, and for those who just want to rest and enjoy the amenities of the house. The hosts are super friendly and flexible, I highly recommend!

The location was first class with stunning views. The location was about 20 minutes from the nearest restaurants and supermatkets.

Excellent location to get away from the hustle of the city and unwind in the country side. Fully functional kitchen and pool was nice.

We had a wonderful, relaxing stay at Miguel’s place. The property is even more beautiful than the photos. We stayed with our three kids (aged 4,7 & 10) and they loved the place. The pool was large and with stunning views of the river. There is so many areas to explore, like the well positioned hammocks to relax in, which my two older kids happily sat in reading together. There is an open area with a football goal which my kids loved. You then follow a path further down and you can find the SUPs and kayak, then the entry to the river, which we all made use of everyday. The kids also enjoyed going fishing with daddy in the evenings and we defiantly made use of the BBQ and outdoor dinning for all our meals as well. We couldn’t hear a sound was so peaceful. Miguel provided a list of tips and places to eat before we arrived, and also left some treats for the kids and us. He was very responsive when I had questions too. Voted by kids the best holiday this so far! Can’t wait to return.

Very beautiful villa, the exterior with its multiple terraces and swimming pool is a true haven of peace. The rooms are spacious and well equipped. There are all the amenities (washing machine, iron, dolce gusto, etc.) for a very good stay. In addition, Ema and her teams are very welcoming. The only point of vigilance is that it is necessary to be transported because the villa is quite isolated. In short, I recommend it! 😊

We really enjoyed the space. Ideal for those looking for a quiet stay. The pool is very good, the water temperature was great. As for the hosts, they were friendly, gave good suggestions for local restaurants. I recommend it and hope to return in the future.
