Waterfront vacation rentals in Amarante

We rented the entire floor for 5 people: 3 double rooms, one kitchen with a closed terrace, and two bathrooms. The apartment is very functional, well kept and well located. We recommend it!

The house was spotless, very cozy and with everything you need for a perfect stay. The owner was lovely from the first moment: he met us with typical local products and gave us great recommendations on places to visit and where to eat. Definitely a 10 experience. Highly recommended!

This is a lovely apartment with parking and elevator. The view from the balcony is stunning! Maria was very sweet and helpful. We had difficulty finding the location and Maria and I did not speak the same language so she had someone call me back that spoke English to help me find the location and answer any questions. Great location, great apartment. highly recommend :)

Fernando was a welcoming host, and even shared a 50 year old Porto with us. The house is a true gem, filled with antiques, and everything modern that subtly goes along with that. It was comfortable, the beds had the best linens, it was clean, and bright. The view and surroundings of the duoro Valley and the towns could not have been better. I wish to return if we ever come back to this beautiful area.

Very cute, aesthetic, clean, beautiful view place

Great place for two couples with beautiful views and close to the train station. Quiet but markets and restaurants were still around. The terrace was an absolute highlight with amazing river views. Great check in and communication process would stay again.

Our experience in Amarante was perfect! We loved the space! Well located, beautiful decor, clean and with all the amenities for a great stay 😊 To highlight the friendliness, easy communication and care of the hosts Débora and João, who always accompanied us, including tips and guidance about the city to improve our stay! Thank you so much for all the care! We hope to return 😊

The family had a fantastic week at a great location. Joao was a great host and super helpful.

The little house is so sweet and kind of special. The garden is awesome and perfect for kids. Unfortunately, we didn’t know the pool season starts not until June. So we and our child enjoyed the beautiful garden. José is very friendly and helpful in every situation. Also there is a bread delivery every morning, that’s amazing. We can definitely recommend that place for people who love nature and quiet.

We had an absolutely wonderful weekend stay at this cozy and charming home! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. Marisa was incredibly kind, responsive, and made sure we felt welcome from the moment we arrived. The location was perfect – peaceful and quiet, yet close enough to local attractions and nature spots. Highly recommended – we’d love to come back again!

Antonio was extremely responsive and generous with his time- picking me up at the station and dropping me off, and giving me a lift to the supermarket and to the river beach as I do not have a car and have reduced mobility. For others with mobility issues, I would say that it is quite steep there (which they warned me about) however I did find a couple of nice walks that were doable for me. The nature is exceptionally beautiful: mists rolling over the river, birds of prey gliding overhead, birdsong, the scent of orange blossom… I also enjoyed making a fire in the wood burner in the evening. This is a convenient place to come from Porto as it is just a few minutes’ drive from the train station which is on a scenic route 1.5 hours from the city. Thanks so much for having me!

Where do I even start?! Staying at Maria's Casa do Rio felt like a magical home away from home. Maria and her sweet dogs gave us a warm welcome when we arrived and gave us a beautiful tour of the property with an overview of its history that you should not miss. She was very accommodating to our check-in time and sensitive to our plans during our stay, which were not many. Since we didn't have much planned for our spur-of-the-moment visit, we were delighted when Maria gave us many suggestions of activities on our own as well as ones with her such as a tour around the area, canoeing, hiking, yoga class, massage, cooking together and so much more. The charm and kind embrace by Maria was otherworldly and an experience in itself that we won't ever forget. If you have any reservations on booking your stay here, you shouldn't because you will not regret a single second at Casa do Rio. Every moment during our stay here is one we will treasure, and we'll be back to visit Maria and her Casa.

Wonderful accommodation that was stylishly furnished. The location was incredible, with views of the river!

Absolutely stunning vista! Corner windows in the living room will have you relaxing and sipping wine all day! Great place to kick back and read or sit under the orange trees and ponder life. The wine making process was intimate with this family run estate. We learned a lot and had lots of questions they answered with expertise. We had only an overnight stay on our way home to Canada but could easily have stayed several days. Great place. Great value.

We had a wonderful time at Dulce's: everything was perfect: the calm, the nature, the animals, the typical house, the amenities ( swimming pools, tennis court, ping pong, pétanque, mini golf, horseback riding ) and especially the extreme kindness of Dulce and her husband... they are great people with whom we were able to exchange and we will never thank Dulce enough for his little touches: fresh eggs, soups, homemade cakes and ice cream offered to our children! You can go to this peaceful retreat without a second thought!!
