Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Douro River

I spent a glorious month at Maria Celeste’s home. It was simply the best place to reset, connect with nature & rest. I’ve never been to a more peaceful home. Freshly squeezed orange juice (from trees) every morning. Lemons for water. A natural spring to swim off hiking grime. Mountains to climb surrounding the entire home. Lizard & butterfly friends. And so so quiet. Maria Celeste picked me up & drove me to the location. Taxi services available to go to town when needed. I can not recommend staying at this home more. If you need some R’n’R, stay. You won’t regret it.

We had a fantastic stay at the villa. Highlight was the unbelievable views from the pool and terrace. The villa and garden with pool & basketball/football court is completely private, perfect for small groups. There are some great local restaurants and river beaches, and Porto centre is only a short drive away. Be warned - there are lots of steep and narrow roads! João was a brilliant host - greeting us on arrival, and easy to reach throughout. Would definitely recommend a stay here!

We can’t say enough about how magical our stay was. The unit is adorable and so unique. We loved the setting- the vineyards, the birds. The hosts were so friendly and helpful. The sunset was glorious. The pool was a welcome respite from the heat. There is only one air conditioner in one bedroom, which in conjunction with a fan did a reasonable job of keeping the house cool on a very hot day. The kitchen is fine for light cooking.

One pass. Finde very cool in the casita. To put a hit, the dry bathroom is good for a couple of days, but for a long stay with the heat and that would be a little more roll, it smelled a little. I miss some utensils in the kitchen but good what you need to cook and mount a table for two. Thank you Andrea.

Beautiful villa, even more beautiful than in the photos!! Peaceful and private place. Ideal for a family stay, our children really enjoyed it. Top host, professional, friendly, very responsive. I recommend it 1000%

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.

Lovely stay! The host provided above and beyond all that we needed - and it was in such a lovely location! Beautiful home!

Jorge was a wonderful host - he knows the city inside out and had great recommendations for us. The apartment itself was clean and beautifully decorated, with the most peaceful garden outside. Thank you so much!

Isa and Hugo’s place is fantastic. Very responsive hosts. It’s a bit of a walk to Porto, but such a peaceful walk along the river with great views. We loved staying in Gaia and can’t wait to return.

What a great little apartment! Everything we needed and a fab view from the balcony. The location was really convenient. We enjoyed our stay very much!

The apartment was perfect for us and was exactly as described and spotlessly clean. Maria and Sergio welcomed us on arrival and gave us recommendations of where to visit and restaurants to try. The apartment is a great location within walking distance of the main sights (beware the steep hills of Porto!); the highlight of our days however was coming back to enjoy a drink on the wonderful terrace with its views of the Douro river. We would highly recommend this gorgeous apartment - thank you Maria and Sergio!

We had a wonderful stay! The apartment was beautifully decorated, very clean, and in a great location—close to the city center and easy to get around. The highlight was definitely the balcony with its stunning view of the river. Highly recommend!

The apartment and the location or the view and the amenities were great. However, the truth is that a lot of hype is being built up. The host can't do that, but a completely new neighborhood is being built and you can hear it from the balcony from Monday to Saturday until 7 pm. In the apartment, you hardly notice it. Therefore, 5 stars with a reservation from us.

We were in Porto for Primavera so spent 4 nights at this delightful apartment. Everywhere really walkable from front door and lots of restaurants/coffee bars locally. Lovely back garden is a bonus in city centre and enjoyed sitting in the sunshine with a glass of wine. Extremely quiet despite the location and no discernible noise from apartment above. It felt like a bit of a haven. Comfy bed and much of furniture ikea so good standard plus the owners decorative touches. Laurent super helpful, found us car parking and even met us there and took us to apartment. Definitely recommend and would stay again.

An outstanding Airbnb in a beautiful location. The accommodation is spacious and comfortable, with the added bonus of several different places to sit in the garden and enjoy the spectacular views of the Douro valley. But it's the hosts that make this place so special. Casimiro and his son Manuel represent what Airbnb is all about; they personally welcomed us, offering lots of recommendations for places to visit and local restaurants, but were never intrusive. Casimiro's wife had prepared a tray of 'entradas' - a Portuguese starter of cured meats, cheeses, bread and olives - plus a bottle of local wine. A couple of days later Casimiro appeared with an huge bowl of cherries from their own orchard. This Airbnb wasn't just somewhere to stay for a few nights, but an experience to be treasured.

Ideal location for exploring and travelling round Porto, easily accessible from the Airport via the metro (approx 30 mins), the hosts could not do enough starting with a great introduction advising us of places of interest, they were prompt with answers to any questions we asked, the apartment was a lovely open space with ample natural light, the jacuzzi was very much taken advantage of, huge thanks to the team who made our stay seamless and stress free.

The apartment is a delight from the moment you walk in. It is beautifully decorated and feels like a home. Great bathroom with amazing rain shower and hot water. Bedroom and kitchen and living areas are all well presented and equipped with all you need and with lots of additional touches. Very quiet for sleeping, and great air conditioning in bedroom and living area. Great location to explore Porto, and don’t even have to walk very far at all, including a great cafe next door, to find lovely eating places. Pedro was a wonderful host in every way.

This was an absolutely amazing and beautiful location for ourselves and our friends to unwind and enjoy. Miles and Pilar are wonderful hosts, they welcomed us with a lovely bottle of wine, which we enjoyed immensely while taking in the spectacular views from the rooftop terrace. Restaurants, shops and grocery stores were within walking distance, so we had options as to prepare meals in the well appointed kitchen or to dine out. Overall we had an outstanding experience and can’t recommend enough!

This is a wonderful apartment in the center of Madrid. It was a nice mix of comfort and total convenience with local charm. Completely spotless with great AC- it was very warm when we were there. The balcony is gorgeous and although you’re on a busy side street (not cars- people!), there’s NO sound in the bedroom. The host was so helpful. If we are back in Madrid again I would absolutely stay here.

The apartment was really nice and spacious with a big balcony where we enjoyed the sun. The kitchen was also well equipped with the essentials. Also a big plus was a private parking spot in the garage. Paula and her team were very responsive and helpful. We had a great stay!

I booked this accommodation because the view of the Douro River was so beautiful, and I was very satisfied! I kept walking because it was downtown just across the bridge, but it was okay. It was nice to have a large house for the price and all the cooking utensils:)

Daniel is extremely friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble and very quick responses. We had a lovely stay and would highly recommend any of Daniel's private tours which are much more personal. if we return to Porto we would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed staying at Eva’s place! It was very hot outside but the fans and large windows circulated the air so well we were very comfortable! The location is easily walkable to the old town and two wineries. The apartment was fully equipped with everything we needed. Most importantly Eva was very strand answered my questions almost immediately! Would definitely recommend this listing!! 5 star !!!!

This home is gorgeous and the location was incredible. Everything you want and need is right out the front door. The home has beautiful skyline views And water views. We loved staying at the property and were very happy a home of this caliber is shared with travelers.
