Holiday rentals with breakfast in Arcozelo

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.

Lurdes’ place stood out by far when compared with similar rentals.Everything was designed to be attractive to the visitors.Rooms were large enough and well decorated.The entire Rural Hotel was kept in top quality.There was enough space to wonder about the gardens within the premises.We enjoyed a vegan dinner prepared especially for us by Lurdes.Finally before we left we were kindly taken to our Camino De Santiago trail by EMIL,Lurdes husband.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Excelente estadia. Uma quinta com um magnífico e muito bem cuidado espaço exterior. Um anfitrião, Sr. Rui que se esforça para que a nossa estadia seja o mais graticante possvel. A Sónia que tudo faz para que nos sintamos em casa, que nos prepara excelentes e variados pequenos almoços. O Alpha que brincou com a nossa Leia. Quinta bem localizada para passear pelo Gerês e excelente para descansar e carregar baterias. Local a regressar.

Adorei a minha estadia, casa super equipada com tudo o que se precisa para se sentir no nosso lar. Proprietários super simpáticos e atenciosos, a nossa familia adorou. Recomendo vivamente.

The place was well above what we initially thought. We were really blown by its beauty, layout, space, and cleanliness. It's a special place with all the vegetation almost all perfectly selected to give the environment an almost worldly peaceful feel. Slight reservations were the limited trash bags provided and lack of cleaning supplies and toilet paper, but all else was what was described or better. The host was accessible and easy to communicate with. He was friendly and approachable and just an overall nice guy. Overall our impression was that it was a perfect place for a group looking to get away, spend time together and have space to explore and return to calmness.

Beautiful and unique place to stay!

Fernando stond altijd voor ons klaar, maar liet ons ook heel prive, het huis was fijn, slaapkamers prima, en een hele fijne tuin. in de ochtend waren er verse broodjes, en het huis was goed voorzien. Wij voelden ons heel welkom en hadden een goede week.

Al principio solicitamos la habitación normal, pero al estar allí con el bebé solicitamos una más grande y mucho mejor. Un apartamento precioso, súper cómodo, con cama enorme y todos los servicios. Cocina muy completa. Diseño agradable y muy limpio. El entorno rural muy tranquilo, aunque sin caminos por los que pasear ni nada qué hacer en los alrededores. Guimaraes a 15 min en coche. Piscina muy limpia y agradable y restaurante fantástico. El personal muy amable y colaborador.

Maria, nos recebeu muito bem. Tomou cuidados como o vinho do Porto, geladeira e armário repletos de comidas. Nos deu explicações e dicas da cidade. Adoramos sua recepção!

We stayed with Rui and Olivia for two nights while in Porto. We had a blast in town and loved their place! Rui met us with the keys, arranged for discounted parking, a tour on the Douro, and spent some time going through a map with us, highligting some great places. The apt is brand new and very comfortable and very central. The place was stalked with fruits and delicious treats that Olivia made herself. We really appreciated the personal touch. Rui and Olivia have a couple of apartments in the building so they were around if we needed anything at all. We loved staying at their apt and would def recommend the apartments to anyone visiting Porto. They had some great restaurant and bar recommends as well!

Well located, spacious apartment. Close enough to walk into town, but a little outside the tourist frenzy. Marta was a gracious host, meeting us outside in the rain to help us park our rental car and show us around the apartment. She left a wonderful selection of food for our breakfasts, plus useful materials for us to plan our visit. We used four comfortable bedrooms and the common, comfortable living area. Would recommend this property to friends.

Ana met us on arrival, & showed us the private parking which was very close to the apartment. Ana was very welcoming, & the apartment had the wow factor! Everything was provided, fresh groceries & fruit & fresh bread rolls & croissants were delivered each morning from the local bakery. Ana spent time explaining & providing details/suggestions of where to visit in Porto & also for our trips to Braga & Guimaraes. We had a wonderful stay & would definitely recommend the apartment if visiting Porto.

So happy we stumbled on this place! The hosts were so sweet and showed us the best spots. The location was amazing and it was perfect for 4 of us. I would love to be able to stay here again!

O apartamento é aconchegante e bem localizado próximo a restaurantes, mercadinhos e ao metro, com direito a vaga na garagem e todo mobiliado, tem tudo que se precisa desde cobertores, toalhas de banho a pratos, panelas e talheres. Tem ar condicionado para dias de calor, e para os dias frios com aquecimento até 30 graus, oferece muita privacidade, mal se vê algum vizinho. Isabela também é uma ótima anfitriã, muito solícita, carismática, sempre disposta a ajudar.

Joanna is a friendly and responsive host, we had a great time and had everything we needed for a short stay. The location was great too as we could just walk anywhere ✨ Thanks!

Myself and my 2 kids stayed in the apartment for two weeks. The newly renovated apartment is very spacious for the size that it is, and immaculately presented upon arrival. The location is very central, which certainly has its benefits. Despite its proximity to all the entertainment, the apartment is tucked away and is very well insulated from the noise and light. Our visit was during the summer holiday, so it can get very busy. My only criticism is that parking directly outside was a challenge. However, this isn’t much of a problem if you don’t intend to drive around and if you don’t mind to walk a bit! A super practical and comfortable stay…. I’ll certainly be visiting again :) Lu

Uns hat der Aufenthalt bei Marta super gefallen. Sie war stets zur Stelle wenn man etwas gebraucht hat oder eine Frage hatte und war immer freundlich. Das Zimmer und die Küche sind wie beschrieben eigentlich echt schwer in Ordnung, allerdings sehen die Bilder ein bisschen anders aus als in der Realität. Man kann sich in der Küche auch ein bisschen Cornflakes oder Brot zum Frühstück machen, aber in der Innenstadt Portos lässt es sich natürlich ein wenig besser brunchen. Nichtsdestotrotz haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können auch nichts an dem Apartment kritisieren. Drei gelungene Tage für uns.

He viajado por muchas ciudades, me he hospedado en muchos hoteles y posadas; he visto y he sentido que es una atención genuina pero jamás comprada a una atención tan cálida como la Candida y Diago. He quedado maravillado con la sencilla y hermosa decoración, con lo limpio y pulcro de todos los espacios. Creo que Diago ( el multifacético gerente) es un mago, tiene un don que Dios le ha dado y ese don lo ha sabido usar pera servir a los invitados. Sí alguna vez vuelvo a Espinho no dudare en quedarme en este encantador lugar. Ame cada segundo que estuve aquí. Gracias por toda la atención…

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

Lovely place in a stunning areas close to many hikes! Carlos was very helpful with anything we needed, recommendations were great! Lovely breakfast, would recommend!!

A really lovely room just like the photos. The family were all very welcoming and helpful. They allowed us to check in early as the room was ready and looked after our bags on our last day .We had a fantastic meal one evening in their restaurant, not to be missed . The only down side was it’s a reasonable walk to the old town of Porto but if you don’t mind that it’s a lovely place to stay

Amazing 400 year old home, has always been in the family. The outside garden and pool are beautiful and peaceful. Small town near by with good quaint restaurants . About one hour from Douro Valley by a beautiful drive through back country roads. Highly recommend it

Angelique is een geweldige host en de plek die ze heeft met het verblijf is prachtig. Het dorpje is heel schattig en op haar terrein heeft ze een fijn zwembad en heerlijke plekjes om te zitten. Ze wilde alles heel goed voor ons regelen en dat heeft ze ook gedaan. Wij hebben ontzettend genoten en zouden iedereen deze prachtige plek aanraden, om helemaal tot rust te komen.

Nos gustó mucho, lástima de tiempo, la casa muy acogedora, mobiliario acorde al estilo. Desayunos completos y a la hora, relación calidad- precio perfecta. Muy buena anfitriona
