Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Vila Nova de Gaia

Our stay went perfectly. The house is conveniently located close to the beach. Very pleasant stay and Ruca takes care of it. I would recommend it in a second.

Cristina and her husband Joaquin met us at the apartment and welcomed us like family. Cristina's personal touches, fresh flowered from her garden, robes, slippers and her warm and welcoming energy were just lovely. Joaquin gave us an incredible rundown on the map of the area. Cristina checked in with us regularly and made us feel like we had family nearby. The apartment is quite spacious. highly recommend.

Clara was an excellent hostess who greeted us with fig cake and port wine. She offered bottles of wine (nominal charge because good wine is inexpensive in Porto, Portugal) available for purchase. She offered a tour of the accommodations, providing instructions where necessary, but kept it to a minimum. We booked an airbnb experience Douro Valley tour through Clara .... it was wonderful and highly recommended. Keep-in-mind, of the three airbnb's we stayed-in through-out Portugal only one had dryer. Washing machine at Clara's was downstairs, outside but in a shed area, and she had a line drying feature. The ensuite is a bit tight, but nothing that can not be lived with with for a brief stay and all the decor is charming.

This was a very interesting, historic home. We enjoyed the wild staircase and high ceilings. Would not be a good place for someone with mobility issues, but that is clear in the description. The fans worked ok to keep the heat at bay, but be sure to keep all shutters closed during the day to keep the heat out. Windows in fourth floor bedroom did not open, or will open, but there is nothing to keep them propped up. When it was 92 degrees, this room was quite stuffy. Two bedrooms on the next floor down were fine though. João was very responsive, helpful and the location was very walkable to much of the city.

Christoph was incredibly friendly and responsive and his accommodation is beautiful. The attention to detail was so appreciated - would 100% recommend

It was as described in the listing. The place felt so peaceful and was easy to get downtown Porto via busses or walk to the oceanfront. The hosts were welcoming and very helpful with suggestions.

The location is really fantastic, although you can't go to sleep before midnight on weekends when the weather is nice. The hustle and bustle on the promenade sometimes goes on until the early hours of the morning.

I would highly recommend this unit. It is a 5 min walk to the beach, less tourist, quiet and only 15-20 min away from the city center. For me it was the ideal location. The host are very friendly and they focus on a positive experience for their guest.

Fabulous views-probably the best the area has to offer! We loved staying on this side of the river-there is still a lot to do/great restaurants, but very easy to walk to the Porto attractions. Hosts were very easy to communicate with and attentive-in fact, they provided us with a whole list of recommendations on check in. This third floor apartment does get rather warm on hot days, despite having strong fans and open windows-it’s something to consider although the lack of AC is well advertised. Amazing place!

Everything was fantastic. The place was spotless, the bed super comfortable, and the lighting and layout made it feel welcoming and relaxing. The outdoor space is a real highlight. The location is phenomenal, right in the heart of things yet peaceful. I know Porto very well, and this stay is easily at the top of my list. Highly recommended!

Very nice apartment, with a quiet bedroom and beautiful furnishings.

The house was amazing, we loved the garden. The bed was also very good.

Sofia’s place is centrally located and walkable to all the sites. It is a popular street with many restaurants and stores. It is well equipped with everything you need. Sofia was a wonderful host . She allowed us to check in early and was always available if we needed assistance. Porto is a beautiful city and being near all the sights and the waterfront made it a memorable stay.

Great appartment. Very nice with a balcony - view to backyards but quiet. Less than 10 minutters walk from metro station with direct line to the airport. Reasonable walking distance to the citycenter. We recommend Restaurant Roma very close to the appartment - a real local place to eat. Elisabeth was very easy to communicate with, if we come back to Porto, we will be staying at her again 😊

staying here was a fabulous experience! florinda & liliana are incredible hosts with a lovely place. we started off our stay in porto with some terrible timing but liliana was amazingly helpful and responsive with our ever changing check in time. the location itself is truly in the heart of porto, and everything is easily walkable. we stayed during the são joão festival, and even with the throngs of people outside the door, when it finally came time for sleep we were comfy and cool inside the beautiful apartment. thank you for a very memorable stay. 🖤

The apartment was brilliant. Such a great space and immaculate. The area is the best and so many nice places to eat and drink within 5 minutes walk. I highly recommend this apartment. And the Wed balcony is a nice extra and gets the sun for a few hours mid afternoon.

Ricardo has been responsive since the original booking months ago. The apartment was very clean, beds were comfortable, apartment was quiet. He met us there to give the instructions in person and was quick to respond for any needs. This place is highly recommended!

What a view, great hosts, nothing was too much trouble. Public transport is fab, with great local shops. We would go past all the folk on Jardin de Morro waiting for the sunset and go up to our own private view. Great week, great place.

If we could have we would put 6 stars! Porto is very beautiful and we come back to the same apartment in the future !

The apartment is a delight from the moment you walk in. It is beautifully decorated and feels like a home. Great bathroom with amazing rain shower and hot water. Bedroom and kitchen and living areas are all well presented and equipped with all you need and with lots of additional touches. Very quiet for sleeping, and great air conditioning in bedroom and living area. Great location to explore Porto, and don’t even have to walk very far at all, including a great cafe next door, to find lovely eating places. Pedro was a wonderful host in every way.

The apartment was really nice and spacious with a big balcony where we enjoyed the sun. The kitchen was also well equipped with the essentials. Also a big plus was a private parking spot in the garage. Paula and her team were very responsive and helpful. We had a great stay!

We spent 4 very pleasant days in the apartment, which is very well located in the center of Matosinhos and has all kinds of businesses nearby (also the beach!). It's great for a couple or a single person. And Fernando, the host, will give you all the information you need to enjoy your stay, and will be on hand to resolve any issues that will make your trip even more enjoyable. In short, a great experience!

Fantastic spot with views of the water. Very airy, beautiful flat in Mira Gaia and walking distance to the Dom Luis bridge, Clerigos area and Sao Bento train station. (Just be ready for the hills! There is a set of escalators down the river, though not all seem to work all at one time for whatever reason.) Just a few minutes from multiple bus stops and a local market. Quiet area since it is on a dead end street and comfortable beds with all the needed amenities. Highly recommended!

Daniel is extremely friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble and very quick responses. We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend any of Daniel's private tours which are much more personal. if we return to Porto we would definitely stay here again.
