Bed and breakfast holiday rentals in Douro River

Quinta da Xandica, located just outside of Valença do Douro village, was a fantastic, and unique experience. It’s rare these days to find an Airbnb hosted by a “real” (boots on the ground) host who is not only there to share local knowledge and accommodates your needs, but literally who also welcomes you in to the ACTUAL family home. It reminded me of a traditional bed and breakfast, in all of the best ways. (Including a lovely breakfast in a dining room!!!) The Quinta was home to Matilde”s great grandfather, and is shared today with her grandmother and father (three generations). It’s a working farm, and an all around charming, beautiful place. Even during our unseasonably rainy visit, the grounds and area was stunning. Practically speaking, the bed was comfortable & the water hot. Dinner made by Matilde was a reasonably priced and delicious with estate wine. We also thoroughly interaction with other guests, the chipped dog, “Bill”, and access to the surrounding area. A treasure!

We loved staying at Marta's. She was always there when you needed something or had a question and was always friendly. The room and the kitchen are actually really hard to order as described, but the pictures look a little different than in reality. You can also make some cornflakes or bread for breakfast in the kitchen, but of course you can have a better brunch in downtown Porto. Nevertheless, we felt very comfortable and can't criticize anything about the apartment. Three successful days for us.

Very nice owners who make you feel welcome. We enjoyed the swinningpool and garden. Breakfast was well taken care off. It's in a quiet envirement, but with the car you can go to Ponte de Lima, Braga or Porto. We enjoyed our time here!

They were extremely friendly. Nice place to stay. Mr. Antonio has welcomed us very well. You let in early and leave after time making it easier for the children to eat. Shared space being that the owners live there but respectful of guests and privacy.

We had trouble finding the place as the address on maps was incorrect. But the host answered his phone and helped us find it. The town is wonderful, view is mind blowing and breakfast is lovely. Wonderful location to the glacial River beach and mountain Torres. What a special place.

I had a lovely weekend at this beautiful manor house. The place is surrounded by nature and perfect for relaxing and unwinding. It’s peaceful, full of charm, and has such a calming atmosphere. The owners are incredibly kind and made me feel right at home, warm, caring, and super welcoming. Truly a special place. I’d definitely love to come back!

I had a pleasant stay in this spacious cottage, the room is beautiful, clean and large. The common areas lack brightness but are spacious and warm. It is a cottage so cleanliness and order are everyone's business… The village is very small, the only entertainment is the local bar but it is worth it because the people are very warm. There are games for children and a church near the cottage. I had a pleasant evening with the inhabitants of the cottage and those of the village.

Perfect location, we had all the comfort we needed In the chale and waking up to all this nature couldn't ask more! Sr Carlos was a true super host!

While visiting Portugal for a wedding, we enjoyed our stay very much. Very welcoming, impeccable cleanliness, very helpful host. We had a great stay.

Thanks for the great stay

Tiago offered a better option for us to stay as the original spot was overbooked. Top notch

A small but very cozy and clean room with a bathroom in the main street of a charming mountain town with loads of places for great walks in nature. It was very easy to find and to park the car just right next to it. The breakfast in morning was a really nice addition and our doggie was welcome everywhere, even at the restaurant, which we really appreciate!

very good person, excellent service, highly recommended

It is a Lovely place in the middle of nowhere (that nowhere you have to take literally), great views on the mountains. The hosts were very caring and with a lot of knowledge of what to see or visite. Great place to really relax.

We had a very quiet night at this cottage. The room was very well equipped, comfortable and the neighborhood is particularly quiet. Check-in was easy, Leticia was there to greet us and explain everything. The only note we have to make: the listing indicated breakfast which was not the case for our stay. (Leticia was not there in the morning, we couldn't ask her the question). But overall the night was perfect!

Excellent host and the place is very suitable for the cost :)

Silvia was a great host!

It is a super quiet and very central pedestrian area. It's close to everything. Celia is very close and is always attentive

Wonderful house! We felt right at home, hosts made us breakfast every day, and gave us excellent recommendations for local food and activities. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in Tondela and looking for a peaceful, relaxing place to stay.

The house is spectacular and the rooms are beautiful, decorated with great taste. The breakfast was incredible and the hosts were super friendly and attentive. Totally recommended!

Very large house with everything you need. There were 14 of us and we occupied 7 rooms, each with a bathroom. The refrigerator failed and Tiago replaced it the same day. Perfect place to visit the Douro and the surrounding cities but a little far from Porto. Access to the house is via the back street.

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

Very nice room, centrally located. Kurt is a very warm host. Good tips for the city and excursions in the area. Highly recommended. We will be happy to come back.

Lugar da Pedra Altra is a very special place, the host were very helpful and we had a very memorable holiday. We stayed there as a group of eight, two families and we had enough space, and the breakfast that they supplied was very enjoyable. We would look to visit again in the future
