Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Gafanha da Encarnação

It was a very nice cottage, small, but everything was in good material, nice shower, nicely decorated with nice wood details. We slept wonderfully with the windows open and the sound of the river, otherwise it was completely quiet at night. Outside nice terraces, wonderfully seated with our feet in the river, a fantastic environment, completely unobstructed views at the back of the house and a lovely hamlet. We walked every day for half an hour to Gois, a beautiful village with river and delicious pastries at the paladeria. We thought it was very nice!

Ines is a wonderful person and excellent communicator that responds quickly. She met us upon arrival to show us around and was so thoughtful to leave us fresh fruit and snacks. She also has a vast knowledge of local places to visit, the Portuguese culture, driving tips, restaurants and more. The home was perfect for the 3 of us. Neighborhood is very safe and quiet. The home is cozy with a working fireplace, a back yard to bask in the sun, great WiFi, and heaters for comfort as needed. Numerous restaurants, local convenience shops, cafes and a cool mall (Vida Ovar) within 10 to 20 min driving. Definitely recommend having a car to explore. I highly recommend her home for a wonderful visit.

A cosy little place near to a beautiful beach and close to Porto - very kind , generous hosts

Amazing house, extremely cozy and beautiful. The territory feels very private with the beautiful pool. We used the bbq which was nice. Creative and aesthetic interior. So pleasant host. No words, it was just perfect 🔥

Family of 9 we spent 3 days at the property. Paddleboard, Visited Barra, Costa Nova fish market, Aveiro and long beach walks. would recommend.

Fernando was always there for us, but also left us very private, the house was nice, bedrooms fine, and a very nice garden. In the morning, there were fresh bread rolls, and the house was well stocked. We felt very welcome and had a good week.

When we first saw Mario’s place and the fact it was a perfect five stars from all previous guests - it was difficult to believe. But we immediately upon arrival understood why this was a perfect 5 stars…this is an incredibly special property - from the streams, waterfalls, history as an olive press, trails, peacefulness - this place was absolutely one of a kind. All in our group agreed this place, of all the places we’ve stayed in the world, was truly truly special….if we could give more than 5 stars - we would. Mario and Cila were fantastic hosts and incredibly responsive and the amenities and nice touches throughout made us feel right at home - better than home. Such a wonderful stay.

An absolutely unforgettable stay! The house is breathtaking – beautiful, comfortable, full of charm and with everything you need to relax and enjoy. But what makes this place even more special is the host: extremely attentive, present and genuinely concerned with the well-being of the guests. We had a problem with the car during the trip and he was tireless in helping us, with a generosity that is not easily found. More than a stay, we live an experience. We feel cared for, safe and deeply grateful for everything. I wholeheartedly recommend this house – whoever is lucky enough to stay here will understand what true hospitality is. A place that stays in the memory… and in the heart!

Absolutely a perfect find. Peaceful. Well equipped kitchen, toiletries. Home made jam and honey. Aveiro a nice place to visit. Also the painted houses on the coast. Margarida is a superhost indeed.

If I had to find a downside to this stay, it would be the mosquitoes. The rest was all great. The host was super friendly, attentive and recommended many places. The house, in addition to being beautiful and very clean, was also full of things at our disposal. We have been to many accommodations and several different countries, and we have never seen anything as complete and welcoming as this place. I recommend it 100%, the price is a bit expensive but when we arrived I understood that it was totally worth it. our dog also liked it a lot :)

A genuinely perfect holiday home. Stunning location, wonderful pool, amazing to have a grass 5-a-side football pitch for the kids. Host was helpful, flexible and kind.

We loved our stay at Casa do Professor. It was so quiet and peaceful. Lovely views, beautiful house inside and out. It worked well for a day trip to the Duoro wine area and another to Viseu, it was wonderful to come home to. Also nice walks in the general area (one was from the house, towards town, onto the ecopista). Lovely, quiet area full of small villages. Easy driving, groceries and restaurants nearby. We cooked a few meals and had what we needed. Having the washing machine was helpful. Comfortable beds, beautiful decor, yummy pastries delivered by Antonio's parents. Antonio was responsive and gave a lot of helpful suggestions in response to our questions. Highly recommended!

Beautiful location, right next to the river and the mill. Bruno was a communicative and helpful host. It's very small, as it says in the description, but for 2 nights was ok.

Everything was great! The house was amazing, it had all the details and amenities! We'll be back for sure!

Great stay! Maybe i’ll come back in the summer.

Really good space, specially if you’re looking for a calming space with the beach close by and somewhere to relax with family or friends.

Everything was as promised!

The apartment was clean, modern and spacious and had everything we needed for a relaxing visit. Several windows gave great views of the gondolas on the canal. Light filled the apartment during tne day but highly effective blackout blinds made sleeping at night a pleasure. We didn't have a car but everything was within walking distance. Walking back and forth to the train station took about 20 minutes each way. The bus stop to catch the public bus to the beach at Costa Nova is just a short walk from the apartment. Both Ely and Fatima were friendly, responsive and helpful. We would love to return some day.

We had an excellent stay, the house is comfortable, super clean, and very cozy. It has a shop and bakery nearby. We would definitely go back.

My second time in this house and I can only say that I love, they are very dear people who are always available, the house is very cosy and makes me feel at home, In Brief I will return ♥️

The house of Pedro is spectacular, according to what is in the ad, very nice, welcoming and very well located, with a shop on the foot and also with a wonderful beach 5 minutes walk. The place is fantastic for us as well as for our friend and partner with 4 legs. Place to return..... 10****

After the initial check-in hiccup with the lockbox, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Joana's apartment. The decoration is very calming - she has a talent for interior design. We loved the private outdooor garden and the separate suite. The neighborhood was so unique and we appreciated the parking lot down the road. We would definitely return to her delightful space in Aveiro.

Our stay was excellent! Elsa was over the top in every way! We had a gift of wine and custard tarts when we got there, Elsa arranged a reservation at an amazing restaurant and she responded quickly to any inquiry. Would definitely come back to this beautiful sanctuary.

The apartment is spacious, clean, modern and equipped with all the comforts. I felt right at home. It was wonderful. Even my dog got a vip-treatment. Thank you for a wonderful stay, Anabela.
