Holiday rentals with lake access in Porto

This place is incredible. A renovated house from the medieval period, it’s even more impressive than the pictures. The setting is beautiful, with a view of the valley right out the bedroom window. The place itself is spotless and the automated check-in was a breeze. The host even had a bottle of wine waiting for us, and it’s well stocked with coffee. Like most homes in the region, be prepared to drive for groceries and restaurants - and take note that the drive to the house is steep downhill and at times narrow - but take it slow and you’ll be fine. The location of this place is perfect if you want to visit both Porto and the Douro valley. 10/10 would recommend!

We really enjoyed the spectacular views, the amazing terrace and the fun pool. BBQ area was a real plus and all the amenities were adequate for our party of six. Joao was a very friendly and responsive host. The main bedroom was large but the other bedrooms and communal areas were small with limited soundproofing. The location was beautifully private but the noises from the town and river could be loud.

This is our best stop on a trip to Portugal. The house has everything you need, it's just nice to be inside. We were still in the moment when the electricity and communication went missing in Portugal - so the hostess and her family showed unreal care - and they brought candles, and the grill was lit and offered food - well, we never had such a cool "apocalypse"! I definitely recommend!

We had a lovely week at the house and the surrounding nature. The house was beautifully located, well equipped and clean! Although we had very rainy weather during our stay, we still enjoyed beautiful hikes and the house offered a cosy refuge for us. Would stay here again and would definitely recommend it to anyone else. Thank you for the hospitality António!

A true piece of paradise! 🌿✨ From the first moment, we feel welcomed as if we were at home - but with the charm of a heavenly refuge. Diogo was an exemplary host: always available, attentive and genuinely concerned with our well-being. Your kindness made the experience even more special. The space is simply breathtaking, perfect for resting the mind and recharging the soul. And as if the surrounding nature and the tranquility of the place were not enough, we had charming visitors: adorable kittens that appeared unexpectedly and immediately won our hearts. They were a sweet and caring asset, which gave even more life to our stay. We recommend it with our eyes closed - and with a full heart.

I so enjoyed my stay in this stunning stone house built by the host's direct relatives! I was truly charmed by the soft tinkling of goats' bells in the pasture, the adorable village dog known and loved by all, a private porch, a crackling fire on a chilly night. This village and it's people are really special, experimenting with organic farming and regularly offering multi-generational events. I was even invited to a village party that included impromptu music, singing and dancing. Self-taught musicians played accordians, guitars and ukuleles while their neighbors & relatives danced. If I moved to Portugal (I wish I could!) I would want to vacation here for a month every year. It's a perfect spot for a writer's retreat, quiet reflection or uninterrupted time together as a couple. The kitchen is a fully functional kitchen, with all the pots, pans, implements and appliances you could possibly need to prepare and serve a meal for 10 (even an immersion blender!)

loved it! a piece of heaven(: very quite, the prettiest pool plus a waterfall

This was a beautiful to get away. The space had lots to do. The hosts were delightful.

Absolutely stunning view of the Rio Douro in a peaceful and quiet location! The apartment was immaculate, with brand-new appliances and everything in perfect working order. Just a short walk from all of Porto’s main attractions, making it the perfect base to explore the city. Every cent was well spent. Sergio was a fantastic host—very responsible, responsive, and always ready to help with anything we needed. Highly recommended for a comfortable and memorable stay!

Ana’s apartment is so amazing. I really loved it. Location is fantastic. Close to all main attractions. The river, churches, restaurants, to name a few. As far as the apartment is concerned, it has two lovely rooms and a wonderful kitchen, and hot water in the bathroom at all times. In short, an amazing place and the host responds really quick.

Our stay was very good, the house was pleasant and João very responsive, always meeting our needs. We very much liked staying in João's apartment

A nice apartment right on the water with decent views of the river. It is a short walk to a number of nice local restaurants, and we really appreciated that it was handicap and wheelchair accessible, including an elevator in the building. The only small critique I have is that there was some difficulty getting in the building, both the lockbox code and key inside the lock box were wrong. However, the response time was great, and within 10 minutes Diogo had come to let us in, provided the right key, and even showed us around. Very responsive and friendly service and thoughtful people. I would recommend people stay here, especially if they would like to have more of an apartment field and be able to cook a simple breakfast or something similar for themselves.

Prime location in the very centre of Porto. Decor in the apartament is older but classy, perfectly matching the style of the town house, we loved it . We appreciated that everything was per regulations (fire fighting equipment, marked escape route, medical kit in the bathroom). The street is busy, but it was clearly stated in the description. You are in the centre of events. Worth the price.

Friendly host, easy to go anywhere

Impeccable accommodation Very functional. Nicely arranged Very comfortable bedding Secure Photos as per listing. Ideally located close to the shopping street Rua de Santa Catarina in a quiet street. Very responsive, welcoming host and answered all my questions in advance. Only downside: complicated to take a shower without flooding the bathroom I would recommend it without hesitating

As in the photos, the interior of the accommodation was so tidy and pleasant to stay in. When you go out of the accommodation, Taylor Winery is located right in front of you. It is in the best location with the Doru River.
