Vacation rentals with outdoor seating in Arouca

Sandra’s house was such a dream. I went with my friends for 5 days and we had such a good time we didn’t even leave the property the entire time. The pool and outdoor areas were so nice, the views were amazing and you truly are in the heart of nature. We spend our days at the pool and nights watching the stars. The house had everything and it looks even better in real life ❤️ Sandra was super sweet and responsive :) we are looking forward to come back, maybe next year 😍 obrigada :)

Canelas is a beautiful town for a mountain getaway. We loved the beautiful views from the property and the pool was great for our summer visit. Arouca is a charming town and we enjoyed visiting the convent and the local shops. We took day trips to the beach in Espinho, Pesa da Régua to taste wine and port, and Porto. We loved hiking near the Rio de Paiva too. The accommodations are historic in feel but also comfortable. We were able to cook dinners using the utensils in the kitchen. Elisabete and Rosaria were very kind and easy to communicate with.

Great stay at Cancela House! The house is as described: charming and atypical, bucolic setting, quiet, neatly decorated, well-equipped. A small peaceful haven in the small mountain, surrounded by eucalyptus forests. It felt good there. Special mention for the very nice dining/barbecue shelter, the charming pool with views and the pretty courtyard (with great sunbeds). We loved the setting and this house! Fatima was warm and responsive. Very easy interaction. If you like authenticity, typical (and atypical at the same time) accommodations, discover this corner of the mountain, discover Arouca Geo Park (passadiços de Paiva + Arouca 516)… Go ahead!

The house is nice, very spacious and clean. We spent 3 days as a family with our pet and we didn't miss anything. Inés' recommendations were very accurate and the place is quiet and easy to visit. The weather was quite pleasant during our stay and helped us sleep at night. Without a doubt, the description of the house and the site is 100% reliable and of course, I recommend it for sure.

Once again, an excellent experience at Casa da Ribeira. The space was pristently clean, with a very pleasant outdoor space and the hostess, as always, excellent.

Truly wonderful cottage with winterswimming pool, just loved it

Impeccable house beyond our expectations, it was even better than in the photos Maria and her husband were very welcoming and responsive They gave us a good number of recommendations for visiting the area and we are delighted to have stayed in their home. Perfect furniture, fully equipped and very good location. We'll be back.

We had a fantastic stay at this place. It is clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The location is beautiful, quiet and peaceful. Our host was very responsive, kind, and helpful throughout our stay. We definitely can highly recommend this place.

Highly recommend this apartment. From start to finish everything went well. Hosts were amazing at communicating and offered helpful advice. Views were amazing from the balcony. Great location. Restaurants & tourist sites nearby. Very close to transport ie train station. Easy walkability. Great sunrise views & easy walk to sunset locations. As stated, highly recommended and would definitely stay here again! Thanks again!!

Thank you for a wonderful week in Porto! The apartment was very clean and cozy. The location is excellent—within walking distance of many sights, and the neighborhood itself is full of interesting things to do. Everything worked well, and the apartment had everything I needed. The only challenge was opening the front door, which took a bit of practice, as the locks here are quite different from those in my home country, Finland. I felt at home here and would be happy to stay again. 🌺

We had an unforgettable time in Porto!!! The place was spotless and its location is ideal!!! Communication with Pedro is optimal, he gave us all the information we needed to have a memorable stay!!! Places to visit, best restaurants!!! Thanks Pedro!!! Recommended

Everything was PERFRCT! Beautiful spacious and well-designed loft in the heart of Porto, very close to the river and all the interesting places. Mariana is the best host, she was super responsive and helped us in everything. Would defiantly come again and recommend!

The apartment is in a beautiful iconic location along the river with a great view from the living room balcony. The 29 steps in the narrow stairway got a bit tiring at the end of the days but for us wasn't too much of an issue. We wish it hadn't rained every day of our stay. But Porto was still beautiful and especially during breaks in the rain. The new windows really kept any outside noise out so sleeping on the excellent bed was easy. Footsteps could be heard from the neighbors above occasionally but was entirely tolerable. The host team was very helpful and all in all we really enjoyed the apartment and do recommend it.

Nuno's apartment is beautiful, clean, modern and has lovely furniture plus very well maintained :) Based in Gaia area you are looking directly across the Douro river at the iconic Ribeira district of stunning Porto The apartment is next to all the major Port houses and there are lots of friendly and affordable restaurants near by but you can walk to the Riberia district a short walk over the Dom Luis I bridge in 10 minutes (perfect location)

Amazing place, looked like the photos. Only downside was the stairs up to it but not the worst. Isabel was so helpful as well and gave us recommendations!

Couldn’t fault the apartment, it was ideal for 3 adults, the sun terrace was an extra bonus. Was very quiet at night and the rooms were dark allowing a good nights sleep, plus the beds were comfortable. I can’t think of anyway the apartment could be improved, we were very happy with our choice. Thank you Mario!

Ricardo was an amazing host, very responsive and helpful being we were visiting from another country. The apartment is in a great location, felt safe and exactly as described.

Lovely apartment, spacious and well equipped. The river views from the balcony and all the main rooms were stunning. Luis was really helpful with lots of suggestions about eating places and sightseeing. We would definitely stay here again.

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

Fantastic location for exploring Porto and Gaia . Lovely view from apartment . Responsive hosts . Beautiful city !

Lovely apartment in a quiet location within walking distance from the town centre. Lisa’s friend, Sandra, greeted us upon arrival and was very helpful with advice on places to go. Would recommend.

Joao was a great host! Made us feel very welcome. The Apartment is in a great location and easy to find. There is a great river walk just outside the door. The underground parking is very convenient and safe. The apartment was very clean and well appointed. A great stay overall! I would not hesitate to stay here again.

We very much like the apartment: comfortable, clean and a fantastic pool. The very kind and thoughtful host. Sen doubt, to repeat!

Rodrigo was a very attentive host. Suggested sights to visit and great restaurants. We did have an issue with no hot water Wednesday night and contacted Rodrigo. After to trying to reset the heater, and no luck he had a service technician along with himself at the unit at 5pm the next day. The technician could not repair the hot water heater and said he had to order a new board, needless to say he was unable to get the part before our checkout on Saturday. The issue was not Rodrigo’s fault as we know these things happen, however no hot water for 3days is a major inconvenience. Rodrigo was very apologetic and offered us a “fair” compensation for our inconvenience. I assume it will be processed through Airbnb. Our host Rodrigo was an attentive, friendly and a nice person. His home was extremely comfortable for 3 adults and would definitely recommend it.
