Holiday rentals with lake access in Douro

Very cute little house on the edge of the Rio, converted into a mill, it's rustic but at the same time everything has been arranged and thought out to have a good time, with all the possible comforts (and even games available, a coffee machine etc). There is plenty of space to put yourself, although the house is very dark as it is in old walls, but the garden is simply beautiful. Between the sound of the stream that passes below the terrace, the flowers and the deckchairs to settle in, we were in paradise! Everything was clean and in place for our arrival. The house is right next to a bridge and we went for a walk around it was really nice. A very nice restaurant is 2 minutes' drive from there for a more chic atmosphere that is also enjoyable! Thank you very much :)

This is our best stop on a trip to Portugal. The house has everything you need, it's just nice to be inside. We were still in the moment when the electricity and communication went missing in Portugal - so the hostess and her family showed unreal care - and they brought candles, and the grill was lit and offered food - well, we never had such a cool "apocalypse"! I definitely recommend!

We had a lovely week at the house and the surrounding nature. The house was beautifully located, well equipped and clean! Although we had very rainy weather during our stay, we still enjoyed beautiful hikes and the house offered a cosy refuge for us. Would stay here again and would definitely recommend it to anyone else. Thank you for the hospitality António!

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.

A true piece of paradise! 🌿✨ From the first moment, we feel welcomed as if we were at home - but with the charm of a heavenly refuge. Diogo was an exemplary host: always available, attentive and genuinely concerned with our well-being. Your kindness made the experience even more special. The space is simply breathtaking, perfect for resting the mind and recharging the soul. And as if the surrounding nature and the tranquility of the place were not enough, we had charming visitors: adorable kittens that appeared unexpectedly and immediately won our hearts. They were a sweet and caring asset, which gave even more life to our stay. We recommend it with our eyes closed — and with our hearts full.

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.

Very quiet and cozy place to stay. Perfect for relaxation and being close with nature. Everything went well

This was a beautiful to get away. The space had lots to do. The hosts were delightful.

This was a nice place on a quiet street. It had a comfortable bed and everything we needed in the studio apartment. The restaurants in the area were delicious. If you want to be a little bit away from the Porto downtown this is a great option. We had a vehicle and were able to drive over to Porto in 20 minutes. This place is made up of more local people and culture. It was quiet and beautiful. Only 1 minute walk from the water.

Cecilia's apartment is spacious and comfortable with all amenities you would need for your stay. It is situated in a quiet area but with cafes and restaurants within walking distance, also with the Cristal gardens 5 minutes away.

A stunning apartment with a magical view of Porto and the ocean. Clean and spacious. There’s internet and streaming services on the TV for the child. Within a 10–30 minute walk in either direction along the beach, there are places with delicious food. There is some construction nearby, but the apartment itself is relatively quiet. There were a couple of minor issues, but overall, it’s a fantastic place to stay. We’d gladly come back if we have the chance.

very pleasant stay, we stayed at T0, all very clean and tidy, the villa is very pleasant and is in a very quiet place with a beautiful view right at the door, there are creeks and the sound of nature only, José was always available for us to help in everything, it was very nice, the house has everything necessary to spend a very quiet days in nature, it was all amazing, if you think about going back to the Serra do Gerês, with all the certainty that I will look again for the villa to rent out in it

We had a great stay! There are lovely views from the apartment and you are close to everything without the area feeling too busy. We felt very relaxed and Luisa & Jose Luis were very helpful and thoughtful hosts.

The location is overlooking the river Douro and Porto, so the views are amazing. The metro was also very close by, as was the bridge crossing by foot, so we were able to get around very easily. The house itself was very comfortable and we appreciated having a washing machine.

Our stay at Sónia’s apartment was absolutely perfect — a 10/10 experience! The apartment was spotless, very comfortable, calm, and ideally located in the heart of Porto. Every time we walked in, it smelled amazing — a small detail that made a big difference and made us feel right at home. Sónia was kind, responsive, and incredibly thoughtful throughout our stay. You can really feel that she puts care and attention into every detail. Her instructions were clear, and the apartment had everything we needed for a lovely stay. We would absolutely stay here again and will be recommending her place to our friends without hesitation. Thank you, Sónia, for such a wonderful stay!

I would definitely return to this apartment. It has incredible views, and we have seen beautiful sunsets, but the house also has all the comforts, it is decorated with great taste and everything is taken care of in detail. Everything was super clean, and Eulália made sure we were well at all times, answering quickly and even coming when it was necessary to fix something. I highly recommend it, and I would return without hesitation.

This is an exceptional Airbnb. Fernando is a welcoming host and an interesting man to talk to. The house is spacious, generous and peaceful. It is also beautiful, with character, and perfect spots for every season. The sitting room must be lovely in winter. The walks in the nature reserve were lovely! You won’t want to leave.

I had a wonderful stay in this cozy stone house. The atmosphere is super quiet, ideal for those looking for rest in the midst of nature, and the house was impeccably clean and well-equipped. The hostess Célia was extremely friendly and attentive, received us with great cordiality and shared great tips for tours around the region. In addition, it was always available for any support we needed. I highly recommend and would definitely return!

A Hidden Gem in Nature! We had an unforgettable stay at this stunning farmhouse! The setting is absolutely serene—surrounded by lush greenery and fresh air. The highlight for us was definitely the natural water tank. It felt like our own private spring-fed pool—so refreshing and peaceful, especially in the mornings. The farmhouse itself is beautifully maintained, combining rustic charm with modern comforts. The interiors were cozy and spotless, and the kitchen was well-equipped for cooking meals. Waking up to the sound of birds and sipping coffee on the porch while looking out over the landscape was pure magic. Our host was warm, welcoming, and very responsive, offering great local tips and ensuring we had everything we needed. If you’re looking to disconnect from the hustle and reconnect with nature, this place is a dream. We can’t wait to return!

Ideal place to spend a weekend with family and friends.

I would use the word "Exceptionnel" for this stay. The chalet was almost new, everything was well done, functional, well equipped and decorated with a lot of taste. As the place is a bit remote, the environment is also very calm and relaxing. Would return any time.

This is the second time we visit this paradise! it's so beautiful there, the lake in front of the house, the forest behind the house. So much peace there. If you need some time to relax or enjoy peaceful moments with your family or friends, this is the place for you!

We loved our stay so much that we didn’t use our car to go anywhere. We enjoyed the beautiful garden, the river and walking to the village. We so enjoyed the peace and quiet and the sound of the river and we wish we could have stayed for longer. Thank you Júlio and Patricia for being such thoughtful and welcoming hosts.

Paulo really has a very cozy stay with great views and a prime location. Our stay was very good, it is a perfect house to spend a few relaxing days between friends and family with very good access to an area that is really worth visiting.
