Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Arouca

This place was everything we expected and more. The location could not be better, close to everything and the views were fantastic, especially at night. John was excellent with communication from the time we booked until the time we checked out. Anytime we had a question it was answered within minutes. If you are going to be staying in Porto make sure you try to book this apartment. You will not be disappointed.

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

Very well located, clean and spacious apartment Carlos is very friendly and punctual I recommend

Very nice accommodation in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of the Dom Luis Bridge and the city of Porto. Everything was as described and there was adequate communication with the host.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The apartment was clean and well cared for and Alexandre was very helpful and friendly. We felt welcome and enjoyed the proximity to restaurants and sights. We also felt very safe in the building.

Very kind and welcoming host. The location is perfect for a short stay in Porto, highly recommend

An outstanding Airbnb in a beautiful location. The accommodation is spacious and comfortable, with the added bonus of several different places to sit in the garden and enjoy the spectacular views of the Douro valley. But it's the hosts that make this place so special. Casimiro and his son Manuel represent what Airbnb is all about; they personally welcomed us, offering lots of recommendations for places to visit and local restaurants, but were never intrusive. Casimiro's wife had prepared a tray of 'entradas' - a Portuguese starter of cured meats, cheeses, bread and olives - plus a bottle of local wine. A couple of days later Casimiro appeared with an huge bowl of cherries from their own orchard. This Airbnb wasn't just somewhere to stay for a few nights, but an experience to be treasured.

We had a wonderful time staying at Eduardo and Patricia's place. We arrived early in Porto after our transatlantic flight, and they had the place clean and ready for us by 13h. Patricia personally welcomed us and gave a bunch of recommendations for the area. We appreciated this hospitality. The bed was very comfortable (futon-like queen mattress) and the air conditioner and shower worked well. The location is perfect. 10-15 minute walk to all the Porto highlights, so we were easily able to stop back at the apartment for a water refill or bathroom break during our sightseeing. It's a central location but this section of the street has no bars or restaurants so it's pretty quiet at night. We would stay here again on our next visit!

I stayed from June 13 to 14 and the experience was very positive. The entire space was well arranged and clean, with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Access was easy and communication with the host, Henrique Negrão, was always quick, clear and attentive. I highly recommend this accommodation to anyone who wants to visit the Baião area!

Joana's house was exactly what we needed, 4 adult couples from the family, each from a different part of the world. The house is wonderfully equipped Designed in an inviting rustic style and the garden is well maintained The property is exactly as shown in the pictures. It was well worth it!

This is an extremely comfortable place to stay in a beautiful part of Portugal. The Douro Brothers are great hosts. Everything was in order and all we had a very nice time. Muito Obrigado!

We've been very happy in Estefania's house. The apartment is in a perfect location for a family. no parties and no noises nightime. It's very close to the river area, full of good fish restaurants, and to the city center. It took us 15 minutes with the baby to reach it, and it's also possible to get the metro. Adelino, who was our contact there, gave us a lot of useful info. He was also very reactive, and when we had a problem he always replied immediately and did everything in his power to help us. I would definitely recommend the apartment to other guests!

Amazing property and view. We had a terrific time. The property worked great for our group. Best sunset! Marco and his crew were extremely responsive. Driving in the Douro Valley is not for the faint of heart. We had a ball!

Marta was nothing short of fabulous, responsive from the get go and we already had an idea of our plans and restaurants to eat at before we even arrived. Check in went smoothly and she was there to greet us immediately and show us our villa, which itself was gorgeous and set away right next to the pool. The location is absolutely unbelievable with gorgeous views of the Douro valley & river and we even got to say hello to the villa dog Whiskey :) <3 We would absolutely go back in a heartbeat as the location, price and friendliness of our hosts were all 10/10, we could not fault a thing!

We loved our stay at Casa do Professor. It was so quiet and peaceful. Lovely views, beautiful house inside and out. It worked well for a day trip to the Duoro wine area and another to Viseu, it was wonderful to come home to. Also nice walks in the general area (one was from the house, towards town, onto the ecopista). Lovely, quiet area full of small villages. Easy driving, groceries and restaurants nearby. We cooked a few meals and had what we needed. Having the washing machine was helpful. Comfortable beds, beautiful decor, yummy pastries delivered by Antonio's parents. Antonio was responsive and gave a lot of helpful suggestions in response to our questions. Highly recommended!

Pedro was a fantastic host who provided detailed airport directions, transportation advice, and was incredibly responsive throughout. He personally welcomed us upon arrival and made us feel right at home. The location was perfect - peaceful and quiet, exactly what we hoped for. The pool was amazing with stunning views and a natural feel that made it truly special. A delightful surprise was fresh bread from the local bakery delivered to our door each morning. When we requested additional bread, Pedro generously provided extra at no charge, showcasing his wonderful hospitality. Highly recommend this place for anyone seeking a thoughtful host, serene location, and beautiful amenities. Already looking forward to returning with my family!

Excellent stay at Andrea's. Location close to the ocean, easily accessible. Andrea is very accommodating in case of modification and arrival times. Obrigada!

Good people Very nice communication

Rui and Sergey have a lovely place. They were very friendly and very helpful. The room was spacious and had excellent storage. They have since updated their main bathroom, which is now one of the nicest bathrooms I have seen (spacious, new, and great shower)!! The location was also very nice. It was far enough away from the hub of the city for quiet, but close enough to walk to Porto (25-30 min of a nice, pretty walk). The metro is also very close (8 min), which was so very convenient. Being able to use a washing machine was a huge plus too. Overall it was a great value!

We were happy to stay outside of the lot of noise from the street all night. The apartment is missing an electric kettle, which would make it easier to boil water. The contact with the host is efficient, he prepared an apartment that was clean. Extra linens, a set of towels for everyone. There was also an extra electric heater that could be turned on on cold nights, however, it can't be used at the same time with the dryer as the traffic jams in the apartment are getting out. An apartment equipped with everything you need except for a kettle. Accessible location next to bus stop. I recommend staying in an apartment.

Had a great stay at Joe's place. Well equipped kitchen, 6 minutes from the sea and a fast internet made my stay wonderful.

Great stay. The accommodation is clean, well-equipped With a pool that has been very popular, swimming or napping by the pool You have breakfast with a magnificent view of the Douro River! Barbecue and bar with your feet in the water! All this in a quiet place and without neighbors Enough to have a great time with the family Thank you for your hospitality and kindness See you soon Christelle and Germain

The apartment is lovely and spacious. Has everything you need. The town is lovely, and the people in it are very friendly. The highlights were the Irish pub right next door and the blue hut on the beach which had amazing live music. The beach was very quiet and peaceful. This was a great deal!

Hello André, Thank you for everything. The apartment is very good, it has a very spacious terrace, although the views are not very good you can only see four rolls. Very good detail to leave all apps and games installed on TV, they were very helpful!. another detail to note are the good local buns and desserts, very rich. On the other hand there was no good night or daytime environment, whom I want to cheat (well some Darth Vader out there). Another thing to improve is the modernization of the front door. Overall, chilling, chilling in the miling.
