House holiday rentals in Gaia

Lisbon was nice, but our vacation started here. Having this beautiful home and a car, we explored the region and had a great time. Owners recommendations led to our favorites experiences on the trip. Can't recommend enough. The pics don't do it justice either, and the pics are amazing.

I would give 10 stars if possible! The place is just amazing, Paulo and Isabelle created a beautiful paradise with a breathtaking view and everything one needs for an unforgettable holiday. And on top of that, they are amazing hosts: kind, helpful and just lovely. Obrigado, we loved staying with you

On our trip to Portugal, the Douro Valley was the highlight of the trip from the storybook views to the spread of freshly picked cherries, homemade preserves and wine awaiting our arrival to the cleanliness and comforts of a beautiful home perched high up on the vineyard terraced hills. The game room was an incredible surprise - there are seven eighties arcade games along with a ping pong table, a foosball table and an infinity game with over 150 board games built into the table. The hospitality was second to none. Gabrella, the property manager, was one step ahead of us ensuring that we had everything we needed to make our stays one of the most memorable. Sephi, the owner, is one of the most generous people we have ever met. His passion for region and willingness to offer his time to you is amazing. We spent one morning touring his winery, learning the old way of making wine and enjoying the fruits of his labor – an extraordinary experience not a just another Air BnB.

Really enjoyed our time at Gabriel's place. Tried to change our travel plans to stay a little longer in this beautiful area but unfortunately were unable to. Thank you for a wonderful memory of Portugal!

This place was amazing, way bigger than it looks in the photos, with everything we needed and incredible views. The host was super helpful and easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend and stay again if I get the chance!

Anfitrião super dedicado e atento às solicitaçoes. A casa é incrível, corresponde na perfeição ás fotos e à descrição. Espero voltar em breve, acho que é o melhor elogio que posso fazer.

The most fantastic stay, we will definitely be back! The location and accommodation was even better than the photos and the host and staff were so friendly and approachable. The views from the entire place were fantastic. A very private and peaceful stay, and the breakfast baskets were very generous, full of fresh fruit, bread etc. We did a wine tasting on the vineyard and it was so reasonably priced and great wine. There was also a lovely peacock and cat that roamed the vineyard and came to say hello on occasion. Both pools were fantastic! Thank you for a really memorable holiday 🥰.

Lovely stay! The host provided above and beyond all that we needed - and it was in such a lovely location! Beautiful home!

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.

This is a very special place with beauty everywhere you look including the architecture of the house utilising the natural materials of the region to blend into the landscape. Francisca cooked us a delicious three course meal including wine, delivered on a tray on our first night what a treat ! On Francisca’s recommendation we had a very authentic wine and food tour with Bambuti Tours we were overwhelmed with Portugal hospitality for the day and Viewed some amazing scenery, a great way to explore the valley. Casa Do Largo is situated in some of the most beautiful scenery in the valley and we enjoyed a whole day there , with a walk to the beautiful river first then a day enjoying the pool and the most comfortable home. This has been our favourite spot in Portugal and we would highly recommended you book it for at least 3 nights.

Peace, stars, mountains, lge bed (I'm 6'4"), bath+shower & friendly cats. It had it all,apart from cats, but no bad thing with a wren nesting near. Bed&pillows v comfy; view breathtaking. Walking the drive at dusk,enjoyed swooping bats & glow worm. Snippets of other reviews came to mind: 'you need to be a confident driver to handle track to Quinta' (true but we’re used to bumpy tracks with grass up centre. Tip: deactivate proximity sensors or you'll have 6 mins of beeping); 'kitchen isn't a cook's kitchen' (true, it was surprisingly basic, missing a tray, colander & jug for inst. Sure co-host would drive over had we asked as he did with hairdryer; on which note, a mirror by plug upstairs would be welcome).Highlights = Coimbra, &Torre (Portugal's peak) both an hour's drive; sunrise after dawn chorus; cooling in pool surrounded by lavender, citrus &olive trees; wood-floored lookout next to bedroom(tho a tad hot) & cooler sitting room with stone fireplace below. 6night stay almost perfect

Todo perfecto, la ubicación, la casa, la atención por el anfitrión, el mobiliario, la tranquilidad...... .Totalmente aconsejable. Nada que objetar.

A casa é excelente, corresponde às fotos e superou as expectativas. Muito bem cuidada, com tudo o que é necessário para passar um tempo tranquilo e relaxante. O cuidado e simpatia da Linda e da pessoa que nos recebeu foram excecionais e fizeram-nos sentir em casa. Recomendo sem sombra de dúvida e espero voltar! Muito obrigada :)

Sergio’s place was amazing. We had a wonderful day. The house was spotless and very welcoming. We felt right at home our first time staying there I’ll gladly come back again thanks Sergeant Sonia.

Es war alles absolut genial. Absolute Empfehlung. Ich hab mich so zu Hause gefühlt und es ist alles perfekt gelaufen. Náhir ist auch Mega nett und hilfsbereit, mich hat’s sehr gefreut ihr Gast zu sein

Beautiful place in Porto, the view is much better than you can tell from the photos and is really quite something. communication was always easy. can only recommend to book a night here.

The house is an absolutely charming combination of old & rustic with tasteful decorations and modern amenities. The design of place is really smart and well considered. It is located in a really, really quiet spot and is very peaceful and beautiful. The closest town (Mogadouro) is maybe a 15 minute drive away. And there are lots of places to visit in the area by car. Rui is a great host. Responsive and helpful. We were looking for a place to stay with our dog to escape the fireworks during the São João celebrations in our part of Portugal. Rui assured us we would have a peaceful time at his place and he was 100% right.

We enjoyed our stay in Vela. Antonio and Mrs Augusta are great hosts. The house is very comfortable and had everything we needed.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed this space. It was peaceful, amazing views, and our 3 boys had such a great time enjoying the jacuzzi and jumping into the river. Quiet town that is the perfect escape.

Olá Sr. Pedro! Queríamos agradecer por toda a hospitalidade durante a nossa estadia no seu alojamento em Póvoa Dão. Ficámos encantados com o espaço – é tranquilo, bem cuidado e a piscina foi um verdadeiro luxo nestes dias de calor! Foi maravilhoso poder levar o nosso cão Escobar, que também adorou o ambiente e o espaço ao ar livre. É cada vez mais raro encontrar lugares tão bonitos e que aceitam animais com tanta naturalidade. O que fez toda a diferença! Sentimo-nos mesmo em casa e mesmo bem recebidos e relaxados. Vamos recomendar e, sem dúvida, voltaremos numa próxima oportunidade! Muito obrigada por tudo! Com carinho, Lilian Leite , Pedro Leite e Escobar 🤩😉

A fantastic and unique space that really shows the incredible potential of buildings in Porto. The apartment is well-equipped and comfortable, and communication with the host was smooth and easy. We really enjoyed our stay!

La communication avec Paulo a été très fluide, nous avons reçu un très bel accueil, il a été très sympathique, nous a donné les bonnes adresses autour. La maison est fidèle aux photos et la vue est à couper le souffle. Tout l’équipement nécessaire est disponible, cafetière, casseroles, draps piscine, clim hyper agréable par cette période et chambres hyper grandes et agréable. Nous avons dîné deux fois dans leur restaurant juste en bas, je vous le recommande, c’était vraiment très bon! Rapport qualité / prix parfait! Nous y retournerons sans problèmes!

Excelente espaço, decoração distinta e condições acima da média. A anfitriã muito educada, atenciosa, simpática e disponível. A repetir!

Beautiful home and looked after us really well! Great list of local recommendations and a lovely daily breakfast top up too!
