Holiday houses in Ruilhe

We had our first family trip to Portugal and chose to stay at Gallo’s House and we couldn’t have made a better choice. Toni, the owner, gave us a warm welcome and met us outside upon arrival. He showed us around the property and explained everything thoroughly, which was such a lovely start to our stay. The house had everything we needed: a fully equipped kitchen, fresh towels, and all the essentials. The pool was beautiful and available to use whenever we liked, a perfect way to relax during our trip. The area is peaceful and quiet, ideal for unwinding, yet it’s conveniently close to Porto, which made exploring the city really easy. Toni also gave us lots of great recommendations on where to eat and what to do in the area. Toni and Cristina truly know how to take care of their guests. Their hospitality made us feel right at home, and the place itself is simply amazing. I hope to return one day and stay there again. Highly recommended!

Thank you Miguel for an amazing stay in your paradise! ✨ Miguel is a perfect host, very helpful with an incredible good taste. This house is a reflection of a paradise and I was so happy in my holidays there. River, fireplaces, and a very comfortable tiny house to enjoy nature! Miguel, thank you for the stay! I highly🥳 recommend this place! I insist on leaving you the best possible comment. The stay was amazing at your property and the photographs do not do justice to the surroundings and comfort. He really thought of every detail to convey peace in this place and be a brilliant host. Thank you for all the details and see you soon at Villa La Finca.

If you want to stay in paradise & truly want to experience what the Douro valley is all about, stay here. If you’re a bad driver, don’t come- roads are tiny and curving. A little hard to find the place - look for the church after the ship monument - it’s def worth the effort! What an amazing view right out of our rooms, living room and terrace. welcoming and accepting attitude and chill vibe. Favorite place on our trip throughout Portugal!

Everything was great & we got great recommendations for the area. Upon arrival, we met at a nearby cafe and were escorted to the accommodation. We were very warmly welcomed on site and received the first information. After half of the stay, we even got fresh towels. Unfortunately, two things are not apparent from the description: the view of the lake is obscured by trees & you have direct neighbors. But that didn't bother us & we would come again and again!

We really enjoyed our stay! The apartment was cute, and Maria was very friendly and helpful. The apartment is in a rural enclave between Braga and Barcelos, providing easy access by car to surrounding towns. There are three large comfortable bedrooms, a dining room and a large terrace with a great view. The bathroom was newly renovated. A few things to consider: the gas stove was fine, but the oven appeared to be wood-heated, so not practical. One of the 2 bathrooms was outside the apartment, in a shared space downstairs. The pool, instead of a standard above-ground swimming pool, was more like a raised pond. It was good for a dip, but it wouldn’t have been good for small kids (no steps or shallow end) or for swimming (too small). The animals were super cute though city folks like us might be awoken by the roosters ;) There was also noise from the nearby highway. On the whole, we were happy with our stay and would stay again! A cute, convenient apartment with a lovely host :)

An enchanted space! The Quinta’s green gate opens to a moss covered cobblestone alley cooled by vine arches leading up to the house. The old house is charming and very spacious. Big bedrooms and generous bathrooms with views onto trees. Formal and wild gardens surround the house and continue up the hill to a secluded fresh water swimming pool with a beautiful view over the valley offering complete seclusion and tranquility. The kitchen has everything one needs to cook family meals for big eaters and the fridge freezer is big enough to cool plenty of beer supplies needed to enjoy (or endure) the Euro 24 games and election night. João is a generous and enthusiastic host, never intruding but always there when needed. For our visit to Porto we used the handy Arentim train station to get straight into Porto centre - cheap, clean train, in time and stress free! With plenty of spaces to enjoy our company and spaces to seek solitude, all of us had a much needed rest in magical surroundings!

Wonderful cosy tiny house. Very clean and comfortable. You find everything you need. Enough privacy, still among local people. Quiet enough. Nice little balcony with sunshine almost the whole day. There is a good local restaurant around the corner and a somewhat more luxiourious one 12 minutes on foot. Good bed. Teresa gives you a warm welcome and has good advice on the area. It’s a good base to visit nothern Portugal.

I would definitely give Pedro's accommodation 5 stars. The accommodation is beautiful, it inspires great quality, the decoration is very classy, nothing is missing in the equipment. This accommodation is very functional, we feel very good there👍 In addition, it is very well located, only 10 minutes from the city center. I highly recommend it and thank Pedro again.
