Vacation rentals with lake access in Guimaraes

This place is incredible. A renovated house from the medieval period, it’s even more impressive than the pictures. The setting is beautiful, with a view of the valley right out the bedroom window. The place itself is spotless and the automated check-in was a breeze. The host even had a bottle of wine waiting for us, and it’s well stocked with coffee. Like most homes in the region, be prepared to drive for groceries and restaurants - and take note that the drive to the house is steep downhill and at times narrow - but take it slow and you’ll be fine. The location of this place is perfect if you want to visit both Porto and the Douro valley. 10/10 would recommend!

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!

A perfect, cozy retreat to unwind from the city's hustle and soak in the beauty of nature. We'd love to come back!

Excellent stay. The house exceeded expectations, beautiful and very neat. It smelled very well. In addition, the site was extremely calm and with a lot of privacy. They were very attentive, always ready to help. We had a small situation that we eventually managed to solve ourselves, however they were attentive to the point of leaving a basket with breakfast at our door for the inconvenience we had. I recommend it 100% and we will definitely be back there.

Peaceful and clean place with a unique location.

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!

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.

Pedro's place is a beautiful, peaceful and tranquil location with beautiful views hills and lake. Pedro was accommodating and helpful right from the start with heaps of fantastic recommendations on places to visit and always responded to any question promptly. The house is in a very small village along a very narrow road so you definitely need a car, however within 15-20 mins drive there are an abundance of amazing hikes, look outs and waterfalls. my children especially enjoyed waking up to the chickens and seeing the local farmers (right next door) move their cows and sheep each morning and afternoon. The house is really big with plenty of space for our family of 5 and we really recommend this place.

Beautiful stay in Vila Do Conde. Accommodation close to the sea and functional. Marta listened to me and gave me the information for self check-in. Thanks for the thoughtful attention!

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.

Mónica’s place was amazing- looking over the river and right next to a river beach, with the use of the spa, a barbecue and a kayak as well! The place was so lovely and gave us the rest we needed. Mónica was a great host and she was really helpful and welcoming. Thanks 😊

We were seduced by this exotic, quiet and beautiful place! From the accommodation to the outdoor facilities, everything was great! our 11 and 6 year old children also enjoyed the place. Great hospitality from the host, we already know in advance that we will be back!!

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.

Wonderfully spacious place. A bit remote, but also nice and quiet. Everything present. Friendly owners. And delicious oranges from the tree for fresh juice! From here, you can quickly reach the Douro Valley.

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

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.

An excellent space for a good holiday. I loved everything and everything is close to this location. The stay was impeccable and everything has a description of the photos, I felt at home, I would come back without thinking.

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!

Ideal place to relax and contemplate nature.

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.

we have loved every second of being here! peaceful and natural surroundings make this a very special place. Gui has gone above and beyond to make our stay a pleasure. definately recommend

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.
