Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Vila Real District

This was a dream vacation - we had just moved to Portugal and spent 2 weeks getting setup. We wanted a quiet week as a family to rest before school started. This place was perfect: perched on a mountainside in the middle of vines, the space was quiet, peaceful and beautifully designed and appointed. Paulo, the husband, is an architect who refurbishes vintage designer furniture. Teyna, the wife, is an amazing chef. Her breakfasts (included) we delicious and the dinners they offer in their adjoining restaurant and well crafted and tasty. Their place is pet friendly - we brought our dog, and they have a dog, two cats and two birds. We did outings to Porto, nearby Roman ruins, historic villages and swam in the rivers running through them. It was delightful.

This accommodation was truly beautiful and had its own charm. The view was breathtaking!

We've had an amazing 4 days here. It's just a perfect location and we felt at home here. The pool, the view, the garden with grill - everything was just perfect. The only 'negative' things, if you can call them negative, is that the bathroom is on a different floor than the bedrooms, and that the parking is a bit tight for a large car. We can fully recommend this place to anyone looking for a private getaway in a beautiful location.

Excellent stay for several in family with children. The area is beautiful and well maintained, the swimming pools are pleasant to cool down during heat waves. The hospitality is perfect; the price in season can be scary initially but the house, the estate and the kindness of the employees justify it. We'll be happy to go back! Thank you Ines (and Angela)

We really enjoyed our stay. The outdoor space is amazing, and we always felt a huge availability.

We booked the place to spend New Year's Eve with friends, and we brought two dogs. The area is beautiful and the reception was wonderful. Cristiana and her family treated us super well, and made a point of putting us at ease, having always been available to help with whatever was needed. The days were cold, but they left us a lot of firewood, which allowed the house to always be warm. On New Year's Eve they left us more wine and a freshly baked cake The house was super clean and had everything that was needed. We really wanted to come back, thanks for everything!

Highly recommend it. Thank you Emanuel

Wonderful stay over a week. Breathtaking property. The third year in a row...

We loved our stay. We we welcomed from the start and our host checked in with us during our stay. The house was perfectly comfortable and clean. We would recommend without any hesitation.

Amazing stay with an even more amazing host 🥹 I have to highlight Inês' friendliness and availability from start to finish. The space is exactly what it promises: calm, relaxing and unique! With many nooks and crannies to discover, friendly animals, an incredible pool and nature in its purest form! We couldn't find a place that would allow our dog to enter the pool and Quinta da Emília allowed it and made Joca's experience even better! In addition, we were also able to receive family, including our 2-year-old godson, who also took great advantage of everything the farm has to offer 😊 ahh! We still "stole" some peaches to bring as a souvenir 🤭 It was amazing and we highly recommend it!!! 😁 A huge thank you to Inês ❤️

Beautifully furnished, clean house equipped with everything you need. The location is extremely quiet, so you have the feeling of being the only house in the area. The complex is very well maintained and the pool is large enough for swimming. Communication with Carla is uncomplicated and friendly, we always had the feeling that we could turn to her in case of problems. We enjoyed every second and there is nothing to complain about. If we choose Portugal again, the accommodation and Carla will be our first choice.

We had a wonderful getaway! Antonio and his family were excellent hosts. Very responsive and helpful.

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!

We loved the villa and its surroundings and Angela and Mario couldn’t have been more helpful. It is a short car journey into Mirandela where there are some great restaurants - recommended by our host. They were terrific value as well compared to restaurant prices in Porto! Unfortunately I picked up a head cold in Porto and had little energy to explore the local tracks. It’s a great place to stay with easy access to Tua Natural Parc and the Douro Valley, I would highly recommend it to our friends and family.

This is a very comfortable, well-equipped cabin for two, with or without a couple of kids, in a spectacular location with access to a nice swimming pool. Very recommendable.

Very relaxing. Loved the pool.

I spent two magnificent days with my family at Casa dos Vinhais. The host, José, is very nice, attentive and helpful and we were optimally received by him. The house is really special with the family's antique furniture and crockery with the very nice living room and the very beloved bedrooms. Here you sit and breathe the story. The view from the house to the Douro River is beautiful and we could not take advantage to bathe in the river but, in the warmer months, it would be possible to enjoy the outside well. We can ask to make dinner at home and the cod with cream and the alheira prepared by José e Graça was divine. In addition, the small Almoco is included in the stay and is really delicious! I hope to return here again to this home. Thank you for everything!

Excellent stay. A farm with a magnificent and very well-kept outdoor space. A host, Mr. Rui, who strives to make our stay as rewarding as possible. Sonia does everything to make us feel at home, preparing excellent and varied breakfasts. Alpha, who played with our Leia. Well-located farm to walk around Gerês and excellent to rest and recharge. A place to return to.

What a wonderful stay we had at Maria's! She literally welcomed us with open arms with a delicious lunch on her balcony with a beautiful view over the garden and the beautiful green hills. On the same balcony, we enjoyed an extensive and lovingly prepared breakfast every morning. The place is really great and especially the garden, which is like a paradise, full of fruit trees, olives, grapes, vegetables, herbs and other plants and flowers. There are nice seats everywhere to enjoy the wonderful garden with the beautiful view. And then Maria, a rare sweet, warm and caring woman. Everything she does feels sincere and straight from the heart. She was almost like a mother to us and like a grandmother to our daughter. It was not easy to say goodbye after 6 days, but we take the best memories with us. Thank you very much dear Maria!

I loved the space, very calm and serene, good to relax and be at peace. Very communicative host.

Magic Getaway in the Northern Portugal Mountains This was our second time staying at this incredible log cabin, and it certainly won’t be our last. If you’re reading this review, let us assure you—this is the perfect place for your next mountain escape. The moment you arrive, you’re enveloped by the beauty of nature, the fresh mountain air, and the cozy, welcoming vibe of the cabin. The cabin itself is spotless, well-equipped, and designed to make you feel at home from the moment you step inside. The warm wooden interiors, crackling fireplace, and breathtaking views from every window are like something out of a dream. The outdoor spaces are equally enchanting—whether you’re sipping coffee on the porch, enjoying the serene surroundings, or stargazing at night, every moment feels special. Our hosts went above and beyond to make our stay perfect, just as they did the first time. Their attention to detail and genuine hospitality made us feel truly cared for.

A good stay in this clean, new and pleasant accommodation. Looking forward to coming back!

I'll write the review in English so it can reach everyone, as well as some tips for your stay. The apartment was in excellent condition, very well decorated and clean. The TV supports Youtube and Netflix. The hosts are super nice, the area is calm, perfect for night walks. As for my tips: Restaurants in the area are cheap and serve good food. If you plan on going to Stop, a medium dose of beef does feed 2 people for only 10€. Do note that the nearest supermarket is a 30min walk from the apartment, so if you're not bringing a car make sure to stock up on your first day!

Great location and superb home. So cute and spacious for a European dwelling. We loved our stay there and would have loved to stay longer. Was so nice having a garage too. Carlos and family are fantastic hosts. We will definitely come back!
