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

Très bon séjour dans le logement de Pablo. Bien que l’appartement mériterait un petit rafraîchissement, celui ci demeure très propre, fonctionnel et confortable. Il offre une vue incroyable sur l’océan. La literie est aussi très agréable.. Pablo a été très réactif dans nos échanges et très sympathique. Merci! Je recommande cet appartement.

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.

fim de semana em família. 2 casais. gostamos muito. mesmo em frente à praia com todas as condições. o Jorge é extremamente simpático e recebeu-nos muito bem. ofereceu uma garrafa de vinho bem fresquinho, contudo não tivemos tempo de a beber, foram apenas dois dias. aconselho o Jorge e o apartamento dele! irei voltar

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!

We were quite shocked at how beautiful Paulo’s farm is. My wife and I were more than pleasantly surprised as how expectations were well exceeded. Paulo’s home is on the property but up the hill away from the rental. The pool and pool house are near their house but it still feels very private and comfortable. Paulo was extremely accommodating, gave great recommendations and make us feel more like his personal guests rather than just a normal rental. He checked in occasionally via message to see if we had everything we needed. It was very clear that great pride in the rental and farm was taken. Everything seemed well thought out, and we really appreciated the care the was taken in making us feel special and at him. It was by far the best rental experience we’ve had over the years.

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! ♥️

El alojamiento es fantástico. Disfrutamos de unos días excelentes, y lamentamos no poder quedarnos más días. El lugar es precioso, al lado del río, la tranquilidad se agradece, y también hay muchas posibles actividades a realizar. Responde perfectamente a las fotos que están publicadas. Hasta diríamos que el natural, es incluso mejor. La comunicación con los anfitriones ha sido muy fluida y siempre han estado pendientes de cualquier detalle o necesidad que pudiésemos tener. Sin ninguna duda, muy recomendable. Gracias, Cristina y José!

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.

Anfitrião super simpático e acessível. Sempre disponível para ajudar. O espaço da casa é super acolhedor, ótimo para relaxar e usufruir da natureza. Aconselhamos a 100%!

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

Fue nuestra segunda vez en casa de Santiago, y seguro que repetiremos. Nos sentimos como en casa en su apartamento, que es muy acogedor y no le falta detalle. La finca del edificio es una delicia, muy tranquila y con varios espacios para disfrutar al aire libre. Santiago está pendiente de que todo vaya bien. El personal de consejería muy atento también. Volveremos, seguro.

Jose ist ein toller Gastgeber und hat uns mit leckeren Sachen im Kühlschrank überrascht. Die Wohnung ist modern und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet...ein Wasserkocher wäre noch gut... Handtücher mehr als ausreichend. Eine Waschmaschine steht zur Verfügung. Wir waren 2 Tage zu Gastund haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

L'appartement est totalement conforme à la description et rien n'y manque. Nous avons immédiatement trouvé nos marques et nous nous sommes sentis comme chez nous. La vue est à couper le souffle et la terrasse est idéale pour voir les surfeurs à l'oeuvre. Même si le parking au sous-sol nécessite de bonnes aptitudes de conduite, c'est très agréable de savoir sa voiture à l'abri dans un espace fermé. Nous ne pouvons que recommander cette location qui a tout pour plaire. Merci à Carlos et au fils de Maria pour sa disponibilité lors de notre arrivée et son bon niveau d'anglais.

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.

Es ya nuestra segunda vez en el alojamiento de Sara, somos 2 adultos y 2 perretes, y lo hemos disfrutado muchísimo. Sara estuvo pendiente de que estuviésemos a gusto y estaba todo perfecto, las vistas son impresionantes y la zona súper tranquila para desconectar. Para los perros es ideal porque la zona está completamente cerrada y es segura, además sus perretes son súper sociables y juguetones! Repetiremos sin ninguna duda!

Pro‘s: -Der Blick ist phänomenal!! -Die Lage ist praktisch und zentral (Bus- und Metrohaltestellen in der Nähe) -Großes Schlafzimmer (ebenfalls schöner Blick!) -Genug Platz -in der Küche soweit alles da was man braucht (ein zweiter Topf wäre schön) -Alles war sauber -Es gibt einen Aufzug (Wohnung ist in der 7. Etage) Cons: -Die Lüftung im Bad geht automatisch an am Nachmittag und schaltet sich erst am nächsten Morgen wieder ab. Sie ist sehr laut und wirkt dreckig, außerdem verströmt sie einen unangenehmen Geruch wenn sie läuft. Man sollte die Badtür immer zum Lüften offen haben. -Keine Spülmaschine -Große und laute Baustelle um die Ecke Insgesamt hatte ich einen tollen Aufenthalt und habe mich wohl gefühlt!

Eva ha sido muy atenta en todo momento, hemos estado como en casa, una ubicación ideal en un lugar céntrico y tranquilo. Repetiríamos seguro!!

This is the second time I have stayed at one of Christoph’s properties and once again it did not disappoint. Only a couple of minutes downhill to the Duoro river and the Pont Luis. Amazing restaurants on the doorstep and a great place to wander and discover new things. Loved the place.
