Vacation rentals with lake access in Douro

Very cute little house by the Rio, converted from 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 comforts possible (and even games available, a coffee machine etc). There are a lot of spaces 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 great. A very nice restaurant is 2 minutes' drive from the for a more chic atmosphere also appreciable! Thank you very much :)

This is our best stop while traveling in Portugal. The house has everything you need, it's just nice inside. We also got there at a time when Portugal had a power and communications blackout - so the hostess and her family showed incredible care - and brought candles, and lit the barbecue and offered food - well, we've never had such a cool "apocalypse"! I definitely recommend it!

Our stay was amazing. We went to Grijó for a wedding and the location couldn't be more perfect. Emília was an amazing host, super available, attentive and of a giant sympathy! The house, besides the excellent cleaning, is very welcoming and is equipped with everything we need and something else :) all the corners were thought to detail with a lot of love and affection, both inside and outside that is also very pleasant ! And it's impossible not to feel the good energy ❤️ We sincerely thank you for your attention and look forward to coming back!

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 true slice of paradise! 🌿✨ From the first moment, we felt welcomed as if we were at home — but with the charm of a heavenly retreat. Diogo was an exemplary host: always available, attentive and genuinely concerned about our well-being. Your kindness made the experience even more special. The space is simply stunning, perfect for resting the mind and recharging the soul. And as if the surrounding nature and 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 in the T0, everything very clean and tidy, the house is very pleasant and is in a very quiet place with a beautiful view right at the door, there are streams and the sound of nature only, José was always available to help us with everything, he was very nice, the house has everything you need to spend a few very quiet days in nature, it was all incredible, if I think about visiting the Gerês mountains again, I will certainly look for the house again to stay in it

A nice apartment right on the water with decent views of the river. It is a short walk to a number of nice local restaurants, and we really appreciated that it was handicap and wheelchair accessible, including an elevator in the building. The only small critique I have is that there was some difficulty getting in the building, both the lockbox code and key inside the lock box were wrong. However, the response time was great, and within 10 minutes Diogo had come to let us in, provided the right key, and even showed us around. Very responsive and friendly service and thoughtful people. I would recommend people stay here, especially if they would like to have more of an apartment field and be able to cook a simple breakfast or something similar for themselves.

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.

This is a great place to stay. It has a great view and it is close to restaurants, a market, the Luis I bridge, etc. It has a patio where you can sit and have some wine while enjoying the sunset. Sónia was really responsive and will definetelly book her place for our next trip to Porto. Thanks for everything, we had a really good time!!!

I would definitely come back to this apartment. It has incredible views, and we have seen beautiful sunsets, but the house also has all the amenities, it is tastefully decorated and everything is taken care of in detail. Everything was super clean, and Eulália made sure we were doing 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 at this cozy stone house. The atmosphere is super quiet, ideal for those seeking rest amidst nature, and the house was impeccably clean and well equipped. The host Célia was extremely friendly and attentive, welcomed us with great cordiality and shared great tips for tours around the region. In addition, he 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.

Gui has two houses for rent, in a nice, quiet, rural environment close to beautiful Ponte-de-Lima. She is very friendy and extremely helpful.

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.
