Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Braga

Relatively easy access (mountain roads), located in a small village 5 minutes' drive from a supermarket and cafes/pizzeria, stone house completely remodeled inside, equipped kitchen, well-decorated living room, a large balcony with a spectacular view and a very cool pool with cold water.

From the moment we made contact, our hosts made us feel truly welcome. Their kindness, thoughtfulness, and warm hospitality turned our first trip to Portugal into a very special experience. The accommodation was exactly as described — a charming, traditional home set on a vast plot of beautiful land. It felt incredibly secure with two gates, and the setting allows you to enjoy complete privacy or connect with the hosts and animals as much as you like. It really does cater to what you need as a family. The house had everything we needed for cooking, and the thoughtful touch of a few essentials in the fridge on arrival was much appreciated. The bedrooms were very comfortable, and we slept well throughout our stay. Our children especially loved meeting the animals and being shown around the grounds — it was such a unique and memorable part of the holiday for them.

We had a great three-day stay. The place was private, with a spacious bedroom, balcony, and two bathrooms. It was perfect for our dog — we could walk him off-leash in the village. We all enjoyed drinking the cool, fresh water from the mountain fountain! The lake access was a nice bonus. The host was very welcoming and gave great local recommendations. A relaxing and comfortable stay overall! :)

Lovely location, fully equipped, clean, easy access. Pedro and Susana are very gracious and communi

excellent stay, only issue was with sleeping as the double bed mattress had plastic wrapping which can be noisy. no washing machine. Definitely would stay again.

We had wonderful days. Interior of the spaces are a bit dated, but everything is clean. Pool and views really beautiful. The pool is shared with Farmhouse 2 but is fine to do. In the house also more than enough space, large kitchen. Communication with Hugo was fast and easy.

Excellent stay at Silvia's with 2 couples of friends. Perfect communication, Silvia is attentive and very accommodating. Nothing was missing in his high-quality home. Thank you again.

Really great beatiful quiet place in the middle of the mountains. Fully recommend!

We loved our stay. We we welcomed from the start and our host checked in with us during our stay. The house was perfectly comfortable and clean. We would recommend without any hesitation.

Very nice cozy house to spend your vacation. We had a great time.

This was probably the best experience we have ever had. This place is so private and surrounded by nature, perfect to enjoy amazing sunny days away from the city commotion. The whole place also exceeded our expectations, obviously through photos you don’t get the real sense of the house, but it was better than what we were imagining. Silvia, who had personal contact with us, was absolutely amazing and worked very hard for us to have the most pleasant stay possible. We will definitely be back next year!

The accommodation was as described in the photos and André welcomed us very courteously and extremely friendly. Fresh fruit and eggs were available in the kitchen. We also enjoyed the beautiful pool and relaxed on the loungers. André gave us good tips for restaurants in the area and was always very helpful. It is a very good starting point to explore the area. We felt very comfortable and would definitely choose this accommodation again. Thank you for the great hospitality.

A comfortable cabin with the most amazing view

On the positive side, the place lived up to its description. Fatima was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to make our experience better. There were enough parking spaces for three cars. On the negative side, the hot water reservoir wasn't sufficient for ten people to take showers. As a result, some of us had to take cold showers every day. Additionally, the location is situated on narrow roads, making it challenging to reach by car.

We had a wonderful stay at Casa de Vilar de Rei where we spent two weeks as a family. If you are looking for a peaceful oasis surrounded by nature and a place to completely switch off from the world, this is it. Marta and her father Daniel were the perfect hosts - responsive, helpful and kind. Our 1-year-old son had the time of his life riding Daniel's tractor, meeting the chickens, and picking fresh fruit and vegetables from the garden. The pool is shared with the other house but there is plenty of space for everyone and we had very nice neighbours during our stay. There are lots of places to sit and relax or read in the garden - day beds, swings, benches, or the veranda with a beautiful view of the surrounding fields. The garden is also full of herbs and lemon trees. The house inside is very well equipped, and the bed linen and towels are immaculate. We had a fantastic time and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this little piece of countryside heaven. Thank you Marta and Daniel!

All I can say is wow! We spent 11 days staying at Adriano’s apartment and it felt like home! I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in such a well equipped Air BnB. If you could think of it, Adriano had it. In the bathroom there was shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, hair dryer and hair straighteners. In the kitchen there was every utensil you could think of and more, I think you could cook a full Sunday roast dinner and have every pan and dish required! We are a family of four, with children aged 5 and 7. They made the most of the swimming pool during our stay and the beach. The pool is cool but refreshing. The sea was like ice but we made good games of jumping the waves and splashing one another. The beach is less than a five minute walk from the apartment and is a must during your stay, even if it’s just to watch the surfers fight the waves. It’s a very peaceful beach! Adriano is a great host and very helpful. We will be looking to stay again if we come back to the area!

The house is beautiful, peaceful and very well equipped. André looked after us really well (especially when the boiler stopped working and there was no hot water). Otherwise everything was perfect. Thank you

Amazing everything like the photos and with everything you need for your stay , we will repeat for sure !

Very nice house, with very good taste! We appreciate the kindness of the small details such as the cake on our arrival, the appetizers, teas, coffee... everything was perfect!

Beautiful cabin and good service from Tiva

A great home to explore the Geres area and park. Beautiful view from the porch, convenient living room and a kitchen with everything you will need for a short or long stay. The bedrooms are spacious and linen comfortable. The house was spotless clean and Margarida was quick to respond to any question we had. Highly recommend if you plan to visit the Geres area.

We had a lovely stay! :) We ended up staying a few days longer than planned (unexpectedly, due to a flat tyre – and no one nearby could replace it). The apartment is nice, clean, and cozy – for the price, it’s absolutely amazing. The house is semi-detached,doesn’t have a garden. Parking is on the roadside (the road isn’t in use, no a problem at all). The balcony has a wonderful view! The surrounding area is beautiful and perfect for walks. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t on our side – it rained heavily most of the time, so we didn’t get to explore as much as we’d have liked. The village of Cerva is charming and well-kept. It’s a great place for a quiet retreat in nature. The host is kind and helpful, and communication was quick and easy. One thing to mention: there is 5G in the house, which feels a bit unnecessary in such a natural setting – but it can be turned off via the main circuit breakers if you're sensitive to that. All in all, we definitely recommend this apartment! :)

Beautiful home is ponte de Lima. Close to the town center and surround towns. About an hour away from Porto. Lots to see and do within short drives. Home is private and cozy. Would recommend.

We had a fantastic time in this beautiful house. Everything you could wish for or imagine is there. It is quiet and the view of the lake is wonderfully calming. All our questions were answered immediately and I have never had such friendly landlords. Thank you very much!
