Villas in Porto District

"Our stay was made especially pleasant by the helpfulness and friendliness of the owner. He could not have been better. Because it was an old stone house the availability of electrical outlets for charging phones etc and for appliances was very limited. Perhaps the charm of an old house. The swimming pool was a wonderful attraction on hot days."

"We stayed for five days in October; the apartment had lots of space for the five of us. It is located close to the water and restaurants. The unit and the neighbourhood were both quiet. It’s easy to get downtown by bus,tram or Uber. The owner and management company were quick to respond to any questions that we had. The unit is well equipped; we were happy to find an iron and ironing board as we were in Porto for an event. There was a slight musty smell in the downstairs that improved with...

"The property was lovely, and clean. The host was very responsive both in the lead up to the trip, and throughout our stay - she couldn’t have done more for us."

"Overall this was a good stay. The riverfront, Cockburn’s & a fantastic Fado restaurant is within easy walking distance Our choice of room was double-booked & we were given the larger house. The ac had been turned off because the nights were cool. The problem was the day was very warm & the house was stuffy and we were told that we couldn’t leave the door open. The owner turned the ac on later in the night & it was very pleasant afterward."

"11 of us stayed as two families, with kids ranging between 13 and 7. We were so impressed with the sheer size of the property and the grounds. It was so spacious and immaculate. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything that you could possibly need. There were so many things to do around the villa, whether it was the pool, table tennis, table football, badminton or playing football, that no-one was ever bored. We ate in the villa most days, but got Ubers into Vila do Conde and Povoa de...

"Had a real nice stay for one week"

"Nice house, the description is pretty accurate. Quite comfortable for 8 people. We stayed in the mid of summer; the pool was very warm. The river was also warm and good for swimming. The things to pay attention to: - during hot days A/C works to full capacity. - the closest store is 10-15 min away, not walkable - if you are uncomfortable driving steep up/down hill, and sharp turns, consider staying elsewhere. "

"Our family were overwhelmed by the beauty of this home and view of the Douro River Valley right outside the bedrooms and dining room windows. Francisco and Teresa are wonderful in every way. What a glorious spot to have experienced together."

"Our group of 10 enjoyed our stay in Penafiel. The property is beautiful - gorgeous sunset, nice pool and a friendly neighbourhood cat. The kitchen has everything that one would need, although it could use a larger kitchen sink! We loved the outdoor bbq and pizza oven. The owner communicated well with us. We highly recommend taking the owner up on the offer to have the Portuguese cook to whip up some excellent Portuguese fare. "

"Nice large place to bring a family. Would like to see a central living space or dining area, but each apartment is nice. Host is great on communication"

"Thanks to Sofia and Jose for a wonderful stay . The villa has everything you would ever need . It’s definitely 5 ⭐️ . Go to the local Tapas restaurant it’s only a few miles drive fantastic food very friendly owners. "

"This house had everything, including plenty of space for the five of us (twice as much in fact). It was very close to the beach (about a three minute walk) and very easy train ride to Porto."
