House holiday rentals in Cova

We really enjoyed our stay at Tue’s house. It is a great size with good bedrooms and plenty of living space. Ideal for our family of 7. The house is well equipped with plenty to do - swimming pool, bikes, pool table, large garden etc. The local area is very quiet with a good beach and some nice local walks. The weather wasn’t great while we were there, which was unfortunate and meant we couldn’t make full use of the pool etc. but it was great on the sunny days. It could perhaps be improved with some soft covers for the sun beds and maybe another sun umbrella. All in all though we had a great stay.

I want to thank Dona Susana for the wonderful welcome, we literally felt at home. We will definitely be back and I recommend it to everyone who wants to have a moment of peace and relaxation. Thanks to Dona Susana and Mr. Tomás.

After 5 nights spent in this beautiful place I had a hard time leaving it... I got depressed and cried so much this place is perfect, that's to say! In fact, if I could buy this property, I would do it without hesitation 💫 Honestly, I'm still shocked by this breathtaking view... whether you're in bed, on the terrace, in the hot bath or in the pool, it's just sublime, incredible, enchanting... I don't have enough adjectives to describe this place, all I know is that I would like to go back as soon as possible ✨️ PS: remember to buy something to make a fire for the barbecue and the brazier (with marshmallows)

Five stars to Casa de Cardido and to Rui and Alexandra for being wonderful hosts. We were a little late checking in, but Rui greeted us with a smile and a very generous tabua of local cheeses and meats. The hosts go above anything expected, with a sound system at the pool, exercise equipment, and fresh bread delivered daily. The house is a traditional Portuguese home - and it feels like a “home” not a rental. We spent two weeks here and it felt like staying with family. I noticed that one review commented on how close the highway is. Please know this is not a problem. You can see the highway when approaching the home from the road, but you cannot hear it and it does not interfere with the experience. This is very high quality stay with caring and involved hosts that will make sure you have all you need. I highly recommend.

A great start to our holiday even if the weather gods weren’t quite playing ball, the house was a great place to relax in. The pool is a great size and the farm around the property is nice.

This place was amazing, way bigger than it looks in the photos, with everything we needed and incredible views. The host was super helpful and easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend and stay again if I get the chance!

The home was exactly as pictured, gorgeous views, & pool/home were clean with nice furnishings. There were the expected and unexpected amenities (throw blanket, clothing dry rack, BBQ tools, pool shower, towels for 6, hangers, coffee and sugar). The rooms were bright and sunny, with electrically switched storm shutters to 100% block out sun/street light. Besides the basics, the kitchen included dish rag, sponge, towels, an expresso maker, French press, electric water kettle, decent knives, and the all important wine opener. Europe is not big on paper towels, and we didn't find them here nor at the market (weird). As planned, we were in a slightly remote, quiet area, away from tourists. We enjoyed the town of Vieira do Minho for meals & shopping and some lovely hikes 45min drive away. Paulo was a great host - accommodated our late arrival, met us for a property tour, responded promptly, and was helpful during a short power outage. Loved our stay - hope to return!

Of all the Airbnb we have stayed, Francisca's house is one of the best. The house is great with comfortable beds, and the grounds around are amazing, with beautiful views. We were there in early June, and having breakfast outside was amazing. Francisca had eggs and lettuce for us, and there were oranges to pick up from trees for breakfast. The house is located within short drives to Braga, Guimareis, and Porto, so you can take day trips there and come back to this peaceful place. Francisca is a very good host, and we liked staying there because it is a family business.

We had a lovely stay in the house, located in a peaceful area with beautiful views. The house is comfortable and has everything you need. The host Pedro was very welcoming and friendly.

I would give 10 stars if possible! The place is just amazing, Paulo and Isabelle created a beautiful paradise with a breathtaking view and everything one needs for an unforgettable holiday. And on top of that, they are amazing hosts: kind, helpful and just lovely. Obrigado, we loved staying with you

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! :)

10/10! It was a perfect stay. Carla was super friendly and hospitable. The accommodation is modern, clean, organized and private. The pool is cleaned daily. We only have good things to say. We'll definitely come back and recommend!

This has probably been the been AirBnB I have ever stayed in. The new house built on top of an ancient mill is really special and very welcoming with great attention to detail, the host was extremely welcoming and attentive to our requests and the location of the house allowed both for sightseeing in Guimaraes and Braga, as well as for excursions to the mountains and the sea side. We stayed for a week and the longer we stayed the more we appreciated our living environment in the middle of a flowing river stream.

We had a great stay in this spacious, very clean house, perfectly in line with the photos. A big thank you to Pedro for his warm welcome and for all the good addresses and activities he recommended, which really enriched our stay. We would definitely recommend this listing!

We had a fabulous stay at Josés property. The space was beautifully designed, it had a very zen feel. We felt so relaxed there. It was a perfect spot for visiting Guimarães and Jose was very thorough when we met him, telling us all about his property and the local area. Would highly recommend and would have loved to have stayed longer

We had a great stay in Rio Caldo! Check in was easy, at the restaurant down the road. The apartment had all the essential amenities, great for cooking in. Great Mountain View’s from the kitchen. Location was ideal for going to the beaches and explore more of Geres National Park!

Incredible place - serenity on a mountainside. We had the pleasure of staying at Tiago's place as the surrounding forest turned orange in line with the season Tiago went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of, can only recommend this place

Perfect house! Magda welcomed us with everything we needed and with an extra treat! We definitely recommend it. Suggestion for those who are driving: do not access via the street below, which is very narrow. Follow the upper road and make a U-turn at the cafe to access the street of the house. Gerês surprised us! Very quiet place and exuberant nature!

The house is renovated and very comfortable, we would like to have noticed by the description that the outside area is far from the house.

Our stay was wonderful! The house was exactly as in the photos: clean, cozy and very well equipped. The bed was super comfortable, and there was everything we needed to feel at home — from kitchen utensils to small details like coffee and tea available. The location was also perfect and the host was extremely attentive and always responded very quickly to our messages, giving good recommendations about the area and ensuring that everything went well during our stay. We definitely recommend this Airbnb and would stay here again on a future visit!

We had such a good time. We loved the villa, WIFI was excellent, surroundings were so peaceful. House was very clean and the staff were very attentive. Couldn’t fault our stay, would recommend this place to anyone. Also love Bull the dog, very friendly! Thanks again!

We enjoyed everything about our stay in Bernardino’s place. We were initially pleasantly surprised by the size of the property, as we were expecting a fewer number of bedrooms. There are also multiple balconies and a terrace to enjoy the sun whichever time of day it is. The house is well equipped with everything needed to cook and enjoy nice evenings in. The host even went the extra mile to provide Christmas decorations and recommend a local restaurant. The spaciousness of the pool area was also a huge bonus, despite it being a 30 second walk or so from the property itself. Everything there felt like it was made with care and with the aim providing all types of guest with a relaxing and fun stay. The neighbourhood was very peaceful and had beautiful surroundings to be enjoyed from the balconies. Overall I’d recommend this property to any group looking to enjoy Gerês!

What a WONDERFUL stay at this charming farmhouse! From the moment we arrived it was perfect! The property is so beautiful with its lovely gardens, fruit trees & the view of the mountains. We spent the majority of our time, when we were not out exploring, enjoying the pool & having all our dinners outside under the covered outdoor grilling area. We took advantage of the grill & enjoying pizza (yes, there is a fabulous pizza oven!). The house was so comfortable, clean & the kitchen had everything we needed & more. Carlos & Christina are stunning hosts....so kind & friendly & gave us so many suggestions of what to do in the area...restaurants, villages, waterfalls, etc. We CAN'T WAIT to return! Obrigada for a wonderful stay! (note - if you are driving be mindful as directly accessing the property can be tight if you have a larger car)

The countless reviews say it all: this place and Murilo's hospitality are both exceptional. Best to check it out for yourself as my review won't do it justice. A few highlights: the kitchen is fully equipped, the space is family friendly, and the landscape is amazing. This is my favorite airbnb booking, and I travel a lot. Would recommend to friends and family any time! Thank you Murilo, you have an exceptional spot and truly are a superhost!
