Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in Arcozelo

I hadn’t researched the area well when I booked this home and didn’t realize that we’d be on the other side of the river from Porto. I’m so glad that I didn’t know as I might not have booked and we were thrilled with the location and the home. Being on the river was like watching a movie at all hours of the day and night. We loved the walks across the bridge to Porto and enjoyed the riverside restaurants and activities on both sides. The apartment is quiet and has very comfortable beds which is more important the older we get. There are stairs with the apartment on three levels. We enjoyed our brief times on the terrace and would have spent more time there in better weather. Isa responded quickly when we had a challenge with the washing machine and it was fixed the next day. She also showed me how to use the coffee machine, which produces fabulous coffee. It wasn’t difficult but I needed help. The place has everything needed for a great visit and we highly recommend it.

Very clean and modern apartment right beside Porto's stadium. Highly recommended for couples roadtripping in Portugal since there is a parking spot.

João was a great host! The place is immaculate and in a great location with a fantastic view of the Douro river and the Porto skyline. Very friendly welcome and briefing by João on arrival and kept in regular contact to ensure all was well with our stay.

Beautiful location. Very spacious apartment. Everything we needed was there. Very friendly hosts. We had a lovely month with no problems. Can't fault it.

Comfortable new apartment with all necessary equipment. The interior is beautiful and the condition is perfect. Responsive and nice host. Recommend!

Great place with lots of room and comfort. Walkable to many local activities.

Overall the pictures underrepresented the unit, one bedroom did not have any views, but the two along the river and the common room had amazing views of the river out of large windows. The unit was larger than expected and well maintained, the only maintenance related items were a bit of mold on the master bath ceiling and in the 2nd bath one tub tile was loose and looked like it could fall off soon, but both minor and did not distract from the otherwise modern and well maintained unit. My only complaint about the unit was lack of nearby access to public transit and lengthy curvy roads to get to the unit; locations just a few km away could take 15 minutes due to single lane and one way roads; a couple times we had trouble getting ride share to accept the fare because the distance was so short the fare was low, but the trip duration was long and not worth it for the driver. We did pick up a car the night before we left and the garage was huge and easily accessible.

We had a wonderful stay at the apartment. António is a responsive and welcoming host, always available when needed. The apartment is well-equipped—sharp knives, plenty of dishes, both capsule and filter coffee machines. The bedrooms have good mattresses and pillows, the living room is spacious, with great view, and the design is excellent. With three bathrooms, everything was convenient. The location is fantastic—just a two-minute walk to the beach, surrounded by great restaurants, and only 30 minutes by metro to the center of Porto. The apartment was spotless. Everything was perfect, and we would love to return. Thank you so much, Antonio!

We had a lovely stay at Maria's apartment for our first visit to Porto. Location is super, quiet inside, yet the Porto vibe was right out the door. Maria is a very gracious host.

The apartment is spacious and located in a prime area, just across from the beach. Plenty of good restaurants, cafes, and pastry shops within walking distance. The host was very responsive and quick to address any questions. Only two sets of bath towels were provided for two guests staying eight nights. An additional set of towels would have been helpful.

We loved staying at Mathias’s beautiful apartment. The view over the river was stunning and it was away from the busy tourist areas, but also very handy to wherever we wanted to go. The guidebooks, maps, and local recommendations were highly appreciated. A highlight was our trip to Afurada, where we ended up spending the better part of a day. The apartment is beautifully appointed and comfortable with everything we needed.

Great apartment, well furnished, decorated and clean; good areas, wonderful amenities (view, swimming pool, garage, bicycles, sofa blankets, kitchen and toilet, ...). The host was very friendly and always ready to help. I recommend it!!!

Everything was great except for a neighbor who played music quite loudly early in the morning, but nothing related to you.

The place was great and a real gem in Porto. Close to the beach and into city as well. Claudia was very helpful throughout the time we were there with recommendations for things to eat and do around the area. Had a lovely time and will definitely look to stay here again 😊

This apartment is spectacular!! It has the feel of a luxury San Francisco penthouse apartment. We could listen to the waves at night. Multiple restaurants are within a 2 block area! While It's not technically IN Porto, it's a very inexpensive Uber ride away...and we saw a lot of the city that way without having to walk! The platform bed setup as one solid bed was a bit challenging for an older couple, but overall, the apartment made it worth the challenge! We'd definitely stay there again!

Amazing host and lovely apartment ! Maurício could not have nicer or more helpful - he was definitely the highlight of my stay. From meeting you at check in to giving local recommendations to going above and beyond to make sure the apartment was in perfect condition. For the apartment, I appreciated the heating, comfortable bed and sofa, good wifi, and lovely views from the balcony. Having the beach only a couple minutes’ walk is a real plus that both my dog and I enjoyed. Because there is so much to do in the area I didn’t use the pool/gym as I planned, but it looked really nice. Finally I found the locals quite friendly on walks around, which I appreciated. If you’re thinking of a stay, book without hesitation!

Loved it. Playing tennis from sunset to 5am (floodlights). Bbq on the terrace. Rooms were clean. Everything about this place was perfect. We even got some tasty baked goods every morning delivered to our door Easy to get ubers and uber eats. All the boys had a great time and want to go again. Its a great villa to just chill in, you dont get bored. Loved every minute.

The stay at Arianas place was just fantastic. She is super friendly, helpful and we felt right at home. The House is very charming, nicely decorated and very clean. It has everything you need. The location is very close to the beach, to the supermarket and close to restaurants and bars. It’s a quiet neighbourhood and we felt very safe. All in all just a perfect spot to enjoy some days in and around porto. Thank you Ariana for beeing such a good host! :)

Amazing space, I went there with my wife on February 14 (Valentine's Day) Ricardo was careful to leave us the whole environment in refinement for this! Beautiful jacuzzi area, in my opinion it is very well located in the best place to take a few days to relax in full peace! I highly recommend it!!!

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.

I had an amazing stay at this airbnb! The house was incredibly cozy, spotless, and beautifully maintained, making it the perfect place to relax. The location couldn’t have been better—it was close to everything, making it super convenient to explore the area. On top of that, the host was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. I truly felt at home here and would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay. I’ll definitely be coming back

Fantastic host, very friendly, fast responses, beautiful house, hot tub worked, mattresses and couches comfortable, very clean, washer and dryer worked appropriately, kitchen, bathrooms, fireplace and bar fully stocked. Not one complaint. Will stay here again in a heartbeat! Deserves a 10 rating.

João Ricardo was very kind at all times and helped us with everything we needed. The house was just as described! Equipped for everything you need for a weekend. The most complicated was turning the lights on and off 😅

District Adoreiiiii beautiful the space super recommend and I will recommend it to everyone and want to know and I will indicate the best that I have already beeniii congratulations 👏👏👏👏👏😉
