Cottage holiday rentals in Baião

Perfect house, excellent location

A lovely old converted olive mill, in a very quiet and peaceful location with great views from the garden. The house and gardens are immaculately maintained. The gardens and pool area are a lovely space to relax in - although by end of September when we visited the pool was very cold so not all that usable unless you like your cold water swimming! But perfect for sitting out on a sunny day, or watching the sun go down in the evening. Inside the house is furnished in a very traditional style, which we thought made a lovely change from all the very modern properties that you often find on Airbnb, but obviously a matter of taste. The beds are on the firm side, but we didn’t find this a problem. Otherwise the house is very clean and comfortable and well equipped. A lovely base for exploring the Douro Valley and surrounding area by car. Definitely recommended.

The apartment is comfortable and with everything you need to live there in comfort. Franz is a kind, helpful, and discreet host. He gave us the opportunity to use his pool given the heat of those days, to eat the grapes he grows and the lemons. We rarely had such a good time. We also had the company of his very nice cat Tom who occasionally came to say hello to us. The house is in a location away from the chaos of the city and offers an enchanting landscape. You need a car to get around.

Home and amazing place. Great to rest and to enjoy with friends. Let's go back. Amazing experience!! We love it, all wonderful!

This was the best Airbnb we ever stayed in. The house is specious and clean, the view is spectacular, the pool is beautiful and there are plenty activities for everyone. Above all, Fernanda cooked for us amazing dinners with fresh fish and meat, and fresh vegetables and fruits from her garden. This was delicious. Thank you Fernanda for your hospitality ❤️

Host was excellent to communicate with . Views were spectacular and the garden and surroundings were very tranquil . An abundance of fruit to pick from the orchard and the Pool was clean and maintained. A great place which is so pet friendly. The only downside is the barking of dogs around the property which at night may disturb the light sleeper . Overall a superb place to stay .

We had a great time at Isabel and Luis's place! The cottage is gorgeous, and I absolutely loved that we got to have dinner and locally sourced wine every night on the terrace overlooking the river! Luis was super gracious, walking us through everything in full detail during check-in and even offering us a later check-out, which we didn't need. My 2-year-old toddler also loved being able to pluck cherries, and that was her daily entertainment. :) The cottage is HUGE and has all the cooking facilities if you'd like to whip up a meal. We regretted not having another night there, as it was so peaceful! Bonus points: you have the friendly neighborhood dogs and cats visiting us daily! Love this place, thanks again Isabel and Luis! Just one minor comment: there are steps leading down to the kitchen, but we didn't have any issues even with our 2-year-old toddler – we just had to watch her closely. :)

Beautiful farm and house! Being able to wander the farm and pick fresh produce to cook was a highlight. If you’re looking to stay out in the country visiting Amarante, this is wonderful!

Thank you so much! Perfect stay and a lovely place. Thank you for making us so welcome! 🙏🏽 we will be back!
