Waterfront holiday rentals in Douro

Extraordinary experience!!! We could not have asked for more. From our first booking, Isabel communicated welcoming warmth. She was not only our host, but also our tour guide service. She arranged for airport transport, greeted us at the door and gave us a personal introduction to Porto. Through her recommendations, we booked a wonderful walking tour of the city and a magical full day excursion to the Duoro Valley. The carafe of port on the kitchen table was the icing on the cake. Isabel truly loves her city and her country and her enthusiasm made us feel so very welcome. We cannot give this experience any higher praise than to say we WILL return.

We had a wonderful time in Márcia’s apartment. The view of the cathedral was a daily highlight. The kitchen was fully equipped and left nothing to be desired — coffee capsules and tea were also already provided. One day, we had a minor renovation-related incident — a small thing broke — but it was no problem at all! 🤩 Márcia was not only immediately reachable, but had everything repaired and our apartment cleaned the very same day. And the cherry on top: a complimentary glass of port wine and some chocolate. Thank you, Márcia, for this fantastic stay and for the great guide you provided with restaurant tips! We had such a lovely time 🥰 Larissa and Leo

Very nice and modern flat that didn‘t leave any wishes open! Extremely warm welcome and great tipps for the area to experience lovely Porto.

An outstanding Airbnb in a beautiful location. The accommodation is spacious and comfortable, with the added bonus of several different places to sit in the garden and enjoy the spectacular views of the Douro valley. But it's the hosts that make this place so special. Casimiro and his son Manuel represent what Airbnb is all about; they personally welcomed us, offering lots of recommendations for places to visit and local restaurants, but were never intrusive. Casimiro's wife had prepared a tray of 'entradas' - a Portuguese starter of cured meats, cheeses, bread and olives - plus a bottle of local wine. A couple of days later Casimiro appeared with an huge bowl of cherries from their own orchard. This Airbnb wasn't just somewhere to stay for a few nights, but an experience to be treasured.

This spot was in a central place and Sandra was proactive to get check-in instructions to me. This allowed for easy late check-in and there was a lil welcome snack which was nice after a long travel day. It very much has feels of a hotel room-- private room with small kitchen amenities, but it was exactly what i wanted. The balcony was cute to have especially because its over a bustling lil street. Really enjoyed this spot, was perfect for popping in and out of while exploring Porto.

Don't think, just book it! This was one of the best airbnb's I've ever stayed in. After a long day of sightseeing, it felt like a treat to just look out the window here. We found the location the amazing and the hosts incredibly helpful and kind. This was an easy walk or very quick Uber to everything we hoped to see and we enjoyed many hours on the patio. Truly a gem. We hope to stay again in the future!

My stay at Francisco's apartment in Porto was absolutely wonderful! The location was perfect, with easy access to all the city's main attractions. Francisco's place was cozy, clean, and full of charm. A perfect place for an artist it’s so well done. The hosts were super friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home. I loved exploring Porto's streets and discovering its hidden gems, and coming back to the apartment's warm atmosphere was the perfect ending to each day. Highly recommend! Will definitely come back and stay here very soon.

Terrace was very responsive and answered a bunch of questions I had! Couldn’t recommend it more

I spent a glorious month at Maria Celeste’s home. It was simply the best place to reset, connect with nature & rest. I’ve never been to a more peaceful home. Freshly squeezed orange juice (from trees) every morning. Lemons for water. A natural spring to swim off hiking grime. Mountains to climb surrounding the entire home. Lizard & butterfly friends. And so so quiet. Maria Celeste picked me up & drove me to the location. Taxi services available to go to town when needed. I can not recommend staying at this home more. If you need some R’n’R, stay. You won’t regret it.

We had a fantastic stay at the villa. Highlight was the unbelievable views from the pool and terrace. The villa and garden with pool & basketball/football court is completely private, perfect for small groups. There are some great local restaurants and river beaches, and Porto centre is only a short drive away. Be warned - there are lots of steep and narrow roads! João was a brilliant host - greeting us on arrival, and easy to reach throughout. Would definitely recommend a stay here!

Bruno was an excellent host, and had a wonderful accommodation. I will definitely be back in the future, thank you Bruno!

Beautiful location in a quiet area. Nice view from the balcony. The decor was also very nice, ideal for a holiday feeling but also to feel at home. Paula was always available and responded quickly. Very friendly people.

This was one of the most breathtaking views I’ve ever had at an Airbnb. The scenery was stunning, and the setting felt wonderfully secluded yet still just 15 minutes from the nearest supermarket (via a charming, winding road). The house was very comfortable and included a lovely pool — a perfect spot to unwind and take in the beauty around. Highly recommended for a peaceful getaway.

Very nice location! Perfect for wine and olive oil tasting and a bucolic setting. Very nice!

The stay went incredibly well. We had high expectations, but he managed to exceed them. The house is very well located and the decoration is wonderful! I think João and Debora are amazing hosts, they left nothing to chance and were always available to help. For sure, repeating it!

Mario and Cila’s home was one of the most beautiful I have stayed out. The house was an old olive oil mill, converted into a modern paradise. They thoughtfully incorporated the property’s history into the renovation. The home is beautiful but the grounds are next level! There is a running stream running along side and under the house with lush grounds and a wonderful pool. There is also a walking path to a little park with a waterfall! Super peaceful property. If you are looking for a getaway, look no further! Mario and Cila are super kind, gracious hosts! They welcomed us themselves and proactively provided tips and recommendations. Super appreciative of their hospitality.

a really great place to stay, the design is well considered with window shutters that block any noise and air con that works quietly. we had a great stay.

Andreina was very helpful, the apartment is clean and cozy, the location is fantastic for those who want to spend a quiet day and close to the hot springs, the walkway in front of the apartment and along the river is very beautiful and pleasant as well as the pool right next to it, which is huge and well treated and with a very pleasant water temperature for children.

There were three of us women friends going to start the Camino Walk. It was the best experience. Philip let us check in early as we had a red eye from Toronto. Paula met us early and helped us check in. The condo is gorgeous. Perfect for us. So clean and do equipped. From the beautiful towels to the plates to the beach chairs. Everyone was wonderful. I couldn't recommend it more. ! Location location!

I booked this accommodation because the view of the Douro River was so beautiful, and I was very satisfied! I kept walking because it was downtown just across the bridge, but it was okay. It was nice to have a large house for the price and all the cooking utensils:)

We loved it from the moment we walked in. It was exactly as it was described and my 15 year old daughter wanted to "stay forever" as soon as she saw it. Perfectly located and just plan fun inside and out. Christoph made it all easy, responded immediately, and made everything all around easy and fun. Highly recommend it.

Antonio's apartment is well equipped. We found everything we needed. We were warmly welcomed, although we arrived very late in the evening. Antonio is a great host who also gave us some good recommendations. The location is great for making beautiful excursions to Porto, Aveiro, the Douro Valley... We felt very comfortable.

This apartment is spectacular!! It has the feel of a luxury San Francisco penthouse apartment. We could listen to the waves at night. Multiple restaurants are within a 2 block area! While It's not technically IN Porto, it's a very inexpensive Uber ride away...and we saw a lot of the city that way without having to walk! The platform bed setup as one solid bed was a bit challenging for an older couple, but overall, the apartment made it worth the challenge! We'd definitely stay there again!

Laura is a great host and really made an effort to organize everything great for us. The apartment was spotless and had everything you need (and even more). We spent very nice and relaxing days in this beach accommodation. Thank you, Laura
