Vacation rentals with breakfast in Arcozelo

This was a dream vacation - we had just moved to Portugal and spent 2 weeks getting setup. We wanted a quiet week as a family to rest before school started. This place was perfect: perched on a mountainside in the middle of vines, the space was quiet, peaceful and beautifully designed and appointed. Paulo, the husband, is an architect who refurbishes vintage designer furniture. Teyna, the wife, is an amazing chef. Her breakfasts (included) we delicious and the dinners they offer in their adjoining restaurant and well crafted and tasty. Their place is pet friendly - we brought our dog, and they have a dog, two cats and two birds. We did outings to Porto, nearby Roman ruins, historic villages and swam in the rivers running through them. It was delightful.

Perfeito! The house is excellent, very clean, kitchen equipped, super friendly service. Amazing experience. We recommend 👍🏻

Antonio is a great gentleman and took great care of us during our short stay. This is a really historical house built with solid stones. History happened here. Unfortunately we cannot stay for the full length of our stay because the rough stone stairs and stone walls are dangerous to our crawling baby. This property is better fitted for older kids. Antonio was gracious to give us a refund on the nights and helped us to move to a new location with late checkout (very late). He is always ready to help at any time. We are grateful with all his help.

Dajas Douro Valley was perhaps more beautiful than the photos! It was the perfect place to relax between adventures in Lisbon and Porto. We especially loved spending time by the pool by day and cozying up with a bottle of wine by the fire pit by night. Alexandra and Tatiana were very welcoming. A few tips for future guests: The property is nestled in the hillside which means it is at least 20 minutes from towns/restaurants. We rented a car which was helpful for exploring nearby areas, but be prepared for many narrow, steep and winding roads! We found that Waze gave better directions (less rustic) than Google maps. We also wished we had stopped at a grocery store to stock up on some food for our villa before arriving. I also recommend booking reservations at local wineries as we didn’t have much luck just showing up (midweek at least). My husband and I would absolutely stay here again!

We had a great time! Everything was perfect. The host was very flexible with check-in and check-out times, and always available and helpful whenever we needed anything. The house was extremely well equipped, there was absolutely nothing missing. We highly recommend it!

We loved our stay at this serene retreat in Sao Torcato. We stayed five days and it was all worth it. The staff was attentive, articulate and so helpful. I hope we can return in the future.

Spectacular , will be back !!!

I loved staying in Vila Coura, I would definitely stay again. Célia was charming, very helpful. We were able to check in at the appropriate time, explained everything to us about the space, the breakfasts, etc., it was super available to meet any of our requests anytime. The room was very comfortable, clean and cute. We had firewood to light the fireplace and we had a super pleasant atmosphere. The water is very hot too and the bed is super comfortable. I highly recommend!

Wonderful host, great location, and outstanding, quiet accommodations.

We thank Aderito for all his advice. We had a pleasant stay. We highly recommend it.

Daniela very helpful in finding the property. Proactive clear instructions. Very private and quiet location. Wouldn’t hesitate to re-book when back in the area.

This was a perfect location to enjoy Porto. Right on the river with a view of the bridge. The apartment was wonderful, clean, well appointed and decorated. We would stay here again!

Joanna is a friendly and responsive host, we had a great time and had everything we needed for a short stay. The location was great too as we could just walk anywhere ✨ Thanks!

Heaven on earth! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing home. We will never forget it. Or you. Or the dogs!!! Happy Christmas!!

Fernanda is a wonderful host and is quick to respond to messages. The cleaner, Carla, is friendly and eager to please. She speaks reasonable English and was able to provide clear instructions during checked in. The apartment is super spacious and well positioned. It has a lovely balcony that gets hours of sunlight in good weather. We loved the comfortable lounge and elegant dining area. The kitchen is well equipped with a separate laundry area. We experienced a cold spell and the fireplace in the living room was fantastic! The neighbourhood is very local and lovely to stroll around. Downstairs is a green grocer, wonderful chacuterie shop, hairdresser and coffee shop/bakery (padaria). From the apartment, one has a glimpse of the sea in the distance. It takes about 15 minutes to walk down to the water. We really enjoyed our stay and felt completely at home in Fernanda's apartment. Having a car at this rental, makes getting around easier.

We really enjoyed our stay with Jean and Luz. The apartment is beautiful, lovely decor and furnishings and is meticulously looked after and cleaned. The area is great. Many shops and restaurants very close, plus an easy walk to the historic district of Porto. Jean offered to assist us with restaurants and activities. I took him up on this & actually contacted him a couple nights before we checked in at his place. He made recommendations and set us up for dinner and show reservations - way beyond what I expected. When we arrived, he showed us around the neighborhood and walked through the area with us on a map. Both Jean and his wife Luz are great hosts! We'll be back!

We were overnight stays And this one was nice Angélique is an extremely available, welcoming and warm host. And the homes it offers are comfortable and functional She even set up a kitchen for everyone to eat and drop things off In short, we would recommend this property!

Thank you Marta for being our host. It was a pleasure!

I have traveled to many cities, I have stayed in many hotels and inns; I have seen and felt that it is genuine attention but I have never bought attention as warm as that of Candida and Diago. I was amazed by the simple and beautiful decoration, and by how clean and tidy all the spaces were. I think Diago (the multifaceted manager) is a magician, he has a gift that God has given him and he has used that gift to serve the guests. If I ever go back to Espinho I will not hesitate to stay in this charming place. I loved every second I was here. Thank you for all the attention...

Really enjoyed the hostel and would stay again. It was focused around the surfing in the morning which was great, Marco is a great teacher and you get plenty of time on the waves. Raquel is a lovely host and the food is excellent, there's a bit of a lack of local things to do and places to eat within walking distance but the nearest city isn't too far if you want to explore in the afternoons/evenings. Would totally reccomend the hostel to anyone wanting to learn how to surf, many thanks : )

Our stay at Quinta Dos Carqueijais was a perfect 10/10! We chose the Villa das Oliveiras, which offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the surroundings. It truly feels like you're immersed in the forest with beautiful views of the lake. The entire property is seamlessly integrated with nature, creating an idyllic setting for complete disconnection. The accommodation itself is stunning, perfectly equipped, and incredibly comfortable—far better than what you might expect from the photos. The breakfast is plentiful, with great attention to detail. Additionally, we had the chance to enjoy the spa facilities, which include a jacuzzi, sauna, massages, and a heated indoor pool, all at a very competitive rate. Quinta Dos Carqueijais is the perfect place to unwind for a weekend getaway or to celebrate a special occasion near the Peneda-Gerês National Park

Loved everything about this place. Inês was a wonderful host, she was friendly and welcoming, ensuring our stay was comfortable from start to finish. The property is a beautiful oasis, perfect for a countryside retreat. I couldn’t recommend this place more (If I could give 6 stars, I would!)

Very beautiful space and architecture well integrated into the landscape. Be careful with the details and a very comfortable bed. All safety and disinfection equipment prepared and easy to access. The employees, Bruna and Isabel, very friendly and available, always attentive. Communication with Vânia also went very well and I appreciate your attention. Highly recommend!

There are very few places that can live up to the moniker of a truly special location. It take a rare blend of a thoughtful beautiful space, impeccable service, and genuine/ super friendly hosts. My only regret about writing this review is that I am sure once people discover this gem I will find it very difficult to find an available opening again as it is sure to be in high demand. Enrico and his entire family are the perfect hosts, the included simple breakfast of fresh bread, yogurt, fruit and assorted cheese is such a nice treat to wake up to every morning and partake in their amazing Dining Room. I can't recommend highly enough trying their tasting dinner in the evening, as Enrico apparently is a 1 start rated Michelin Chef and the food is amazing. Even if you don't book a room to stay in you should go to the restaurant one evening if you are in Porto. My room was spotless, very comfortable and beautifully laid out. Super Comfortable Bed as well. This place is special.
