Waterfront holiday rentals in Minho

We absolutely loved our stay at Isabel's apartment in Porto! The location was perfect—right in the heart of Ribeira, just steps away from the Douro River, iconic bridges, and charming cafes. Waking up to the view of colorful houses and the river was unforgettable. The apartment itself was spotless, stylish, and cozy, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay—fast Wi-Fi, a well-equipped kitchen, and even some local treats waiting for us (thank you, Isabel!). The bed was super comfortable, and the shower had great water pressure (a big plus after long days of exploring). Isabel was the perfect host—responsive, friendly, and full of great recommendations. She gave us insider tips on the best pastel de nata spots, hidden miradouros (viewpoints), and even a fantastic fado bar that wasn’t touristy. If you’re visiting Porto and want an authentic, central, and delightful place to stay, don’t hesitate—book Isabel’s apartment! We’d return in a heartbeat. Thank you

Great Apartment the view over the beach is incredible

This place exceeded all expectations. One of the most amazing Airbnb’s that we’ve ever stayed in. Miguel was the absolute best 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Family weekend. 2 couples. We liked it a lot. Right in front of the beach with all the conditions. Jorge is extremely friendly and welcomed us very well. He offered a bottle of very fresh wine, but we didn't have time to drink it, it was only two days. I recommend Jorge and his apartment! I'll be back

Francisco's apartment is one of the best! The location is just the center of Porto with the stunning bridge view. Francisco is far more than warm, helpful, and proactive. He prepared everything we need and check everyday to offer great help. It made us feel like home! The rooms are really nice in the old building, with easy and safe parking. Francisco welcomed us when checkin, and warmingly showed each equipments in the house, also helped with many luggages to the 2nd floor. Overall, we enjoyed our staying and hopefully could stay longer.

Terrace place is an enchanting part of Gaia. You will immediately feel at home. The apartment is very clean and cosy. Restaurants, markets and vineries are close by. You can do a lot of things on foot but public transport is easy to reach, too, as are boats or the cable car. Communication with Terrace was very quick and efficient. The view over to Porto's Old Town from the sun deck was incredible. We definitely had a great time and will book again whenever we come to Porto.

We loved our stay in Porto! The apartment was beautiful, clean and comfortable, and their instructions were very easy to follow. Having a spot to park our car was also a great perk, especially since you can walk to everywhere from this spot easily. We highly recommend this spot if you’re in Porto!

This was the perfect place for our first time in Porto. The view is amazing! Silvanna made check in smooth and even let us check in hours early once she realized cleaner was done. They also got us a bottle of wine! Great service, place, and location. Would definitely recommend!

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.

Rafael's place is absolutely gorgeous! On arrival, he gave us a warm tour and shared the property's history—fascinating. It's beautifully restored, surrounded by trees offering total privacy. His dad keeps bees nearby (we could’ve visited) and grows cherries, lemons, and oranges—he encouraged us to help ourselves, and they were delicious. The property was perfect for two, with a well-appointed bathroom, living area, and a private pool—compact but fits four comfortably. Rafael was super attentive and responsive, a brilliant host who clearly takes pride in the place. A few minor notes: the pool has no cover or hoover, so needs a quick skim due to nearby trees (his dad cleans it regularly); there are only 3 loungers and 2 extra chairs at the front; and indoor seating isn’t the comfiest for four, with 2 chairs being wicker which differs from the listing. These aren’t real negatives—just things to note. Amazing value and we’d love to return when we're back in the area!

From the moment we walked in, we knew this place was something special. It has that rare, magical feeling where everything just feels right. The space was stunning—beautifully kept, thoughtfully designed, and incredibly peaceful. But the real showstopper? The views. Absolutely spectacular in every direction. We spent hours just soaking it all in. The pool was perfect—clean, refreshing, and surrounded by scenery that made it feel like our own private paradise. Every moment here felt relaxing and memorable. What really made the stay extra special was Paulo and his wonderful family. They were warm, welcoming, and always available if we had questions. They also gave us amazing local recommendations, especially for restaurants—we had some of our best meals thanks to their tips! This is one of those rare places that’s even better in person than in the photos. If you’re looking for a stay that’s peaceful, beautiful, and full of heart—look no further. We’re already dreaming about coming bac

A wonderful stay and so lovely to be this close to the beach. Definitely worth travelling into Porto as limited things to do near the stay. Nevertheless, Paula was such a brilliant host! ♥️

Great space. The family enjoyed the ample space. A car is required, but we anticipated that. Having the bicycles and kayaks were great unexpected perks that we enjoyed greatly. The air-con came in handy too for the time of the year we visited. Jose, the owner, was very helpful and accommodating with our requests, even at odd hours. Highly recommended and we will pass on the message to friends akin.

We’ve had a wonderful time in this beautiful apartment. Stunning views, nice pool and Pedro is the best Airbnb host you can get. Would love to come back here some day.

Super friendly and accessible host. Always available to help. The house space is super cozy, great for relaxing and enjoying nature. We recommend it 100%!

The place is stunning absolutely immaculate and the hosts were extremely accommodating thank you so much for hosting us in this memorable location!

It was our second time at Santiago's house, and we will surely repeat. We feel at home in your apartment, which is very cozy and does not lack detail. The building's grounds are delightful, very quiet and with several spaces to enjoy the outdoors. Santiago is waiting for everything to go well. The concierge staff are also very attentive. We'll be back, for sure.

Jose is a great host and surprised us with delicious stuff in the fridge. The apartment is modern and very tastefully decorated. The kitchen is well equipped...a kettle would still be good... Towels more than sufficient. One Washing machine is available. We stayed for 2 days and felt very comfortable.

Apart from the magnificent views, I would highlight the indescribable tranquility of this dwelling. Inside you feel better than at home, everything you may need is there, you can see the care in pleasing and welcoming the people who are lucky enough to know this house. Appreciable cleanliness. The village is authentic. The environment is amazing, and we still have a lot of things to see. Both Carlos and Maria treated us in the best way, with kindness and full willingness. In general, beautiful sensations that we hope to feel again. Thank you.

Had a great time at Alberto’s place. Very easy to get to with clear instructions. Place was very comfy for the two of us. Alberto was very responsive with any inquiries. Thank you so much. We would love to stay again in future.

It's already our second time at Sara's place, we're 2 adults and 2 dogs, and we've enjoyed it a lot. Sara made sure we were comfortable and everything was perfect, the views are impressive and the area is super quiet to disconnect. It's ideal for dogs because the area is completely enclosed and safe, and their little dogs are super sociable and playful! We'll definitely repeat it!

Pro's: -The view is phenomenal!! - The location is practical and central (bus and metro stops nearby) - Large bedroom (also a beautiful view!) -Genug Platz - In the kitchen, everything you need is there (a second pot would be nice) -All was clean -There is an elevator (apartment is on the 7th floor) Cons: - The ventilation in the bathroom turns on automatically in the afternoon and does not turn off again until the next morning. It is very loud and looks dirty, and it also gives off an unpleasant smell when it runs. You should always have the bathroom door open for ventilation. No dishwasher - Large and noisy construction site around the corner Overall, I had a great stay and felt comfortable!

Eva was very helpful at all times, we felt right at home, an ideal location in a central and quiet place. We would definitely stay here again!!

We loved staying at Christoph's place! He was always responsive and helpful. His location was exactly as described and in an ideal location to walk around to many different shops and restaurants.
