Cottage holiday rentals in Courel

The accommodation is simply magnificent. It is in the middle of nature, very quiet and very close to nature. You can hear the birds, the water. It is simply a magical place and perfect for arriving at yourself or enjoying the peace. I loved to meditate or do yoga by the water. I would come back anytime. Thanks so much for the nice days.

Great experience Definitely to repeat, but more days... Very cozy house with everything you need No worries Simple check in and check out Staff always very nice, friendly, attentive, helpful

Very peaceful and quiet , enjoy the landscape and vineyards, lovely holiday. The hosts are very kind and friendly people, will definitely come back if in the area☺️

Beautiful house, amazing private location above a lake. Very relaxing being immersed in nature. House well kitted out and lovely features. We took our paddleboard and wonderful paddle boarding on the lake. Children loved the swimming and the ‘cold tub’ plunge pool. Thankyou Gerrit and Grace, we hope to return.

Great place and great host , we felt right at home . Fernando and his wife are excellent people . We enjoyed our stay and the house was super comfortable . We hope to come back very soon.

We had a fantastic day in Esmeralda's house! It is a beautiful and well connected village: one hour from Vigo e moi perto de Paredes de Coura, Ponte de Lima ou Arcos de Valdevez. In the house, with traditional architecture, it is well restored moi. It's nice and comfortable, well decorated, with a good bathroom and all kinds of garments and utensils for cooking. Or pillow mattress and as pillows are comfortable and with bed roupa and towels are prefectas. Or Cardin and beautiful and has sun loungers, tables and cadeiras to enjoy outdoor tamén do. Esmeralda foi friendly and polite. We'll turn around for sure!

Amazing hospitality, space that allows you to relax in an environment of calm and tranquility.

Silvio is gracious and friendly and the garden is beautiful. He left us fresh eggs one morning and we loved the hot tub. Definitely recommend Silvio’s place.

we were very nice the whole family a functional cute house the house owners live on and if you need them don't hesitate to help.te had the detail of leaving in the fridge a bottle of water and wine. if we ever come back in the area from catalunya we will definitely go,a pleasure to enjoy their place both good you could have a house like this,thanks

The whole place is amazing, very quiet and peaceful, good for a nice vacation or a quick getaway! The property is well maintained and there’s a lot of different things to do inside. The host is very nice and really helpful, it was great and we are happy to come back again!

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!

Maybe not for everyone but us we experienced the house and surroundings as a little paradise. The house has character and the whole lot around it is beautiful. It is quiet and has lots of space. The pool is real pool, and not an enlarged sort of bath tub. A beautiful view is included. The house is well equipped, everything worked well. The shoreline is a 40+ minute drive and worthwhile visiting. One can walk kilometers on the wooden board walk or bike along. Even to Porto along the shore which is really not far away. It passes Afurada………… you may want to plan a stop there for excellent sea food at a very reasonable price Hiking trails are in the area. Do some smart shopping for groceries and the like at a supermarket, we did not find anything close by. Maybe a minus for some, if you like to go out and enjoy night life nearby, that is a no-go.

The house with garden, chickens, cats and turkeys seemed like a little paradise to us. We enjoyed the pool incredibly charmingly and were able to cook deliciously with the equipment. It is incredibly green in the area and a swim in the river (Lima) was a wonderful experience. A good starting point to go to the mountains or to the coast, as well as sweet towns around and also not far from Porto. We can absolutely recommend the accommodation and were all totally satisfied. Enjoy the place and the time there, it's not difficult at all.

We stayed at Andre’s place in May 2025, we absolutely loved the house it was lovely being private and in a good peaceful location, an extra that wasn’t on the advert is the fact the biggest bedroom has an en-suite perfect for families! Swimming pool was great but could’ve done with being slightly deeper in one end but it’s perfect for what you need especially with kids. The only thing I would say was a negative was the fact the house has no washing machine ( this is stated in the advert ) but even a tank to wash clothes would make families feel happier to wash there clothes while on holiday. Make sure you have a car when you rent this property as it’s well hidden from the rest of the world! Perfect stay here well recommended and can’t wait to stay here again!

Manuel is a great host, he is very responsive and is very attentive to his guests including dogs. Manuel has good recommendations for the area. Manuel also speaks French. The accommodation is atypical, clean and air-conditioned. The property is private, there is an accessible swimming pool with lots of very pleasant and soothing outdoor spaces.

we have loved every second of being here! peaceful and natural surroundings make this a very special place. Gui has gone above and beyond to make our stay a pleasure. definately recommend

Silvia was the most gracious host I have ever met. The decor was charming, the apartment was spotless, the neighborhood was peaceful and quiet, and we couldn't have asked for a better getaway. Thank you Silvia for a lovely holiday!

We had a lovely stay at Joana’s cottage. It is in a peaceful and private setting with great views, and yet handy for lots of different places to visit and things to do. We walked in the hills, went to the beach, and wandered around lovely small cities and little villages; all within easy reach. The cottage itself is really comfortable, super clean, has great amenities and tasteful decor. Would thoroughly recommend as a wonderful base for visiting a beautiful part of North Portugal.

Great place! Excellent river view and terrace. The hosts were very friendly and helped us when our car broke down. Supermarkets and restaurants are just a 10-minute drive away.

If you're looking for peace and serenity, go for it. Secluded at an altitude of 800m in unspoiled nature, you will have a breathtaking slideshow. You will see wild animals during your walks or 2 steps from your accommodation. 15 min from the Ponte de Lima, you will find everything you will need. Rosa and her husband are extremely kind and we had the opportunity to make us offer local specialties when we woke up. The accommodation is super well-equipped. A big thank you rosa for this great vacation. Small downside, access is not the simplest but with the habit it goes on its own. Celine Julien Lucie and Lena

Super, clean, as described. Complicated access by car but parking nearby. I recommend it.

Just amazing! Me and my group of friends had the most amazing stay- every room had its own en suite and the toilet support for the pool prevented anyone slipping around the house. Everything from the gorgeous views, the pool size, the comfort of the bed and the functionality of the kitchen was perfect.

We had such a fabulous time in Seixas at Ricardo and Andreia’s house. It is a truly a magical place. Ricardo and Andreia are incredible hosts, a special shout out to Andreia specifically who could not have been more helpful - she was incredibly accommodating throughout our stay and always on hand with restaurant recommendations, ideas for day trips, amongst others. The house itself is truly stunning. It is full of character and so tastefully designed. Ricardo and Andreia really factored everything in creating such a luxury environment; they left no stone unturned and it’s evident the minute you arrive - such thought, effort & careful consideration was applied throughout their loving home. The house has the most incredible views and immediately offers a place of tranquility and zen. We particularly enjoyed the stillness of the Seixas evenings sitting out by the pool.

A very nice house, well prepared and with everything you need for a good stay. Very close to villages, beaches, restaurants and a few minutes from Porto. Ana is very close and always willing to help.
