Vacation rentals with a washer and dryer in Arouca

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.

The apartment and location or view and amenities were great. However, the truth is that a lot of work is currently being done. 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. You hardly notice it in the apartment. Therefore, 5 stars with restrictions from us.

If I were to own a place in Porto this is the one I would want! Centrally located, within a short walk to all the major sights, it is on the top two floors on a corner with a terrace on both sides, great views in both directions, sun all day and as much privacy as you could hope for in the middle of a city. The classical building is beautifully restored. The apartment has superb minimalist detailing of the modern insertions: en suites, bathroom, kitchen and stair. It is excellent thermally. In mid-July the cool evenings balanced the warm days and with one bedroom window ajar at night we did not need the air-conditioning even on the upper living level. However you might want the well sealed external doors and windows closed for early morning garbage collections, and possibly for the street performers below during the afternoon and early evening but mostly we enjoyed the music and liveliness. It is expensive but worth it for the quality, especially if you need the second bedroom.

I absolutely loved my stay at Liliana’s! The apartment is in a fantastic location right in the center of everything but still very quiet. Everything was very clean, and the bed was super comfortable. Liliana and her husband gave me excellent recommendations of things to do and places to eat. I highly recommend staying here!

Our stay in Sonia’s apartment was absolute bliss, I wish I could award more than 5 stars. The views were memorable, it was cathartic sitting on the verandah watching the river, especially at sunset. Everything in the apartment was of the highest standard, an exceptional Airbnb. Without hesitation I would thoroughly recommend.

Incredible location & everything we needed for a 3 day weekend visit

Ricardo is a wonderful host. The apartment was very clean and exactly as described.

Large ultramodern flat. Great views. Good location.

Loved our stay at the Airbnb, it was very peaceful and quiet. Whenever, we went into the city, it was always refreshing to come back to serenity given the bustling nature of the city. The location is about a 16 mins ride to the center and 12 mins to the beach area (use bolt, it’s cheaper in Porto). Hugo was so accommodating and hospitable, we are so grateful as he made our trip better!. Upon arrival at the Airbnb, he had been waiting over 3 hours for us because there was a delay at security in the airport due to being short-staffed. He drove us to the super-market nearby, Continente, to buy groceries and gave us local recommendations one of which was Magina’s which was about a 10 mins walk from the Airbnb. We tried it and we quite liked it, mixed opinions on certain items, the steak burger was good. The Airbnb was clean, tidy and just as described with condiments. Each room had its own air-con, a plus for the bathrooms given how clean they were. Will highly recommend this Airbnb!

Our stay went perfectly. The house is ideally located close to the beach. Very pleasant stay and Ruca was very attentive. I would recommend it in a second.

The house is spacious, beautiful, well decorated and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The garden is very nice and provided some good evenings playing cards as a family. The location is quiet, but close to beautiful areas to visit (if you are by car). An excellent choice for a few days of rest, with the beauty of the green and the river.

Amazing property and view. We had a terrific time. The property worked great for our group. Best sunset! Marco and his crew were extremely responsive. Driving in the Douro Valley is not for the faint of heart. We had a ball!

Maria and her husband's home is a wonderful retreat and oasis directly on the river beds. Maria treated us like family and went above and beyond an Airbnb experience. She welcomed us with open arms, spend a lot of time explaining all the options we have here, for us to choose from, invited us in her own kitchen to prepare pizza dough, showed us how to make pizza in her stone oven, provided us with home produced wine and friends wine, let us use their kayaks and stand up paddle boards. We were able to check in earlier and stay longer and she even bought us lunch that we could eat prior to our departure. Maria is such a warm, generous person and is trying to provide you with the best time in her home. We are so grateful for all you did for all of us individually and as a group. We can not wait to come back one day and the experience and memories will stay with us forever.

On our trip to Portugal, the Douro Valley was the highlight of the trip from the storybook views to the spread of freshly picked cherries, homemade preserves and wine awaiting our arrival to the cleanliness and comforts of a beautiful home perched high up on the vineyard terraced hills. The game room was an incredible surprise - there are seven eighties arcade games along with a ping pong table, a foosball table and an infinity game with over 150 board games built into the table. The hospitality was second to none. Gabrella, the property manager, was one step ahead of us ensuring that we had everything we needed to make our stays one of the most memorable. Sephi, the owner, is one of the most generous people we have ever met. His passion for region and willingness to offer his time to you is amazing. We spent one morning touring his winery, learning the old way of making wine and enjoying the fruits of his labor – an extraordinary experience not a just another Air BnB.

The location is really fantastic, although you can't go to sleep before midnight on weekends in fine weather. The hustle and bustle on the promenade sometimes goes on until the early hours of the morning.

Maria greeted us and had cheese and cold beverages and a few other amenities in the fridge , we were able to get some great information she was very friendly and helpful . The views were fantastic exactly like the photo’s . Went to the Espinho market on Monday it was huge great deals and something for everyone was easy to get there . Plenty of walkways all along the ocean you can walk for miles . The train station is very close that you can take to Porto just FYI if you do take the train to Sao Bento Porto which is the downtown you have to change to Train 2 at the main station. This area is easy to get around and parking was close and free. Would love to come back to this area to explore some more .

Ricardo has been responsive since the original booking months ago. The apartment was very clean, beds were comfortable, apartment was quiet. He met us there to give the instructions in person and was quick to respond for any needs. This place is highly recommended!

Great location and quiet. You have a beautiful view along the river and everything is very close and within walking distance. Host is very friendly and responsive!

a really great place to stay, the design is well considered with window shutters that block any noise and air con that works quietly. we had a great stay.

We loved it from the moment we walked in. It was exactly as it was described and my 15 year old daughter wanted to "stay forever" as soon as she saw it. Perfectly located and just plan fun inside and out. Christoph made it all easy, responded immediately, and made everything all around easy and fun. Highly recommend it.

I spent 4 nights at Rodrigo's place with my husband, mother and 10 month old son. He made sure that the high chair and crib was set up on arrival which made the transition very smooth for him. We instantly felt at home. His recommendation for food at Terrina had us dining there multiple times for some nice Portuguese cuisine. Aside from that his communication was professional, fast and always helpful. My main concern was whether my son would feel comfortable as it was his first time abroad. Rodrigo's home allowed it to feel like a home away from home. The neighbourhood is quiet and clean and perfect for a young family's stay. The amenities were readily available and easy to use. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Should we ever be in Porto again I'll happily return to this apartment 😊

Hello André, Thank you for everything. The apartment is very good, it has a very spacious terrace, although the views are not very good, you can only see four rolls. Very nice touch to leave all the apps and games installed on the TV, they were a great help! Another detail to note are the good local buns and desserts, very tasty. On the other hand, there was no good night or day atmosphere, who am I kidding (well, some Darth Vader out there). Another thing to improve is the modernization of the front door. Overall, chilling, chilling in the milling.

A magnificent apartment in the modern house, with super nice decor. Very stylishly decorated with Portuguese charm! Everything top and clean! Best location, 1 minute to beach, kiosk, bakery and several restaurants with cheap but great food, where even police officers go out for dinner during their break! To the train station 10 minutes, to Porto about 35 minutes. To Lidl also only about 10 minutes. "Quiet" location but in the middle of the locals, the fishermen provide the rest of the authentic flair! We will be back!

Thanks for having us.
