Vacation rentals with lake access in Braga

We had a wonderful stay at this place! Communication with Carlos was very friendly and smooth from the beginning. The view was simply breathtaking. We were able to spend many hours outside and enjoy the tranquility and nature. The house was exactly as described: clean, well equipped and in a great location.

Great for a family, we had a wonderful weekend. Nice to have 3 full bathrooms, never a wait even with many adults getting ready! Beautiful view of the river, bridges, landscape of the area. Super convenient with good restaurants and a supermarket in walking distance. Would love to stay here again on our next vacation to Gerês.

The photos match the experience! Next to the lake. Perfect to disconnect and enjoy family. Thanks again

Very clean with good view

A very quiet, rustic and rural setting. Sooooooo peaceful. Fantastic place to escape the city, get some rest and reconnect with nature. The outdoor, wood-heated bath was great, although it did seem a little decadent for just one person. Ideal for a couple. There is a river and Diogo (who is very friendly and very helpful) said he has a canoe. Although it was still quite cool in the mornings (early April), there is a wood-burner and an AC unit that also heats. The driveway is do-able but more for adventurous drivers. The village (Macieira da Maia) is very authentic and it is only about 10-15 min to the beach. Vila do Conde has a beautiful old-town. Many great beaches along the coast. Braga is only about 40 min, Oporto, about 20-30 min by car.

I booked the stay for my brother and sister-in-law who were on their honeymoon. They loved the stay, everything was exactly as described by the host and they even left a treat in the room for the newlyweds :)) it was a great experience!!

If you are looking for a secluded, quiet, peaceful place, then you need to stay at Cesar's House. The sounds of the stream, the quiet neighborhood and get to stay what was a medieval mill gives you the feel of history. Cesar was great. He met us to greet us at our arrival. Treated us to breakfast with croissants, Portuguese patries, and breakfast drinks. The house has all the amenities you need for your stay. There are stores and restaruants within easy walking distance. I felt safe day or night at Cesar's. Can't say enough. Cesar was easy to communicate with as well. Highly recommend!

We had a pleasant stay. Everything was perfect, the house, the calm... Sara and Kelly are attentive, considerate and have good advice. We recommend this accommodation without any problems. Thanks again for your kindness.

I loved the cottage; it was quaint, clean and private with lots of friendly cats who welcomed us. The only real issue I had was the bed was very hard. Maybe a mattress topper? Marie is outstanding as a hostess.

Very pleasant stay at Nuno's, everything was available for the stay to go smoothly, quiet and relaxing place. Access to the nearby pool complex delighted the whole family! We would recommend this listing!

We were seduced by this exotic, quiet and beautiful place! From the accommodation to the outdoor facilities, everything was great! our 11 and 6 year old children also enjoyed the place. Great hospitality from the host, we already know in advance that we will be back!!

Unfortunately it was only 2 nights, 5* house and location. Mr. Antonio was spectacular with us, facilitating the check-in/check-out, making us completely comfortable, D. Olivia and Mr. Secundino were impeccable with us, making us feel like we were part of the family, we loved them from the bottom of our hearts and we really want to come back soon, but this time with more time because Gerês is beautiful and there is much to explore... see you soon and thank you very much for all your kindness and availability 🥰

Had a great stay! The location of the accommodation is great to explore the park and Tiago is very responsive

Absolutely lovely my stay, fantastic views, beautiful home and even better hosts. Thank you so much for being so kind, helpful and welcoming. Would 100% come back and recommend. The house was perfectly clean and the hosts had many kind attentions.

Wonderful location right in the middle of Gerês, surrounded by a breathtaking landscape. The house was impeccable, super clean, comfortable and with everything we needed. Having parking at the door was a great extra. O José, was simply impeccable — super helpful and friendly. The service was 5 stars from start to finish. We have absolutely nothing to point out. We recommend it 100%!

The apartment was impeccable. The location was quite good. Check-in is quite flexible. Mrs. Luísa is super friendly and attentive, she gave us some information on what to do in the surrounding area. I'm sure if I return to Gerês I will repeat the stay.

We had a lovely stay at this cottage located in the countryside in a relaxing place! José and Aurora were very attentive: tips, fruit and apple juice from the farm, thank you! Supermarket 5 minutes away, rivers for swimming a few minutes away, Amarante and Guimarães 45 minutes away, Porto 1h15.

Perfect house, excellent location

Rui, your host, was brilliant and as effervescent as a freshly poured flute of fine French champagne - so much so that one almost needs to lie down and rest after having a chat. He loves his tree house and is extremely proud of his construction. One of the nights of our stay they had the fiercest storm in nearly 20 years - 100 kph winds, slashing rain and intense lighting and thunder yet in the morning both we and the tree house was still in the tree - can't say much about sleep but what an experience. It is, indeed, a magical experience. If you are coming by rental car, and a stickler for detail, be aware that you must drive over gravel roads for a few kms, which for most rental cars is not covered in the contract but if you drive in a mature and rationale matter who will ever know. Like how many people can say that they actually resided in a tree house. Just do it.

Célia was extremely solicitous, made the information clear and was 100% available!

The place is very nice and the house in general is good. Need some arrangement and paint some of the walls. Being the bathroom next to the living room and having the sliding door, it does not fit well, so the smells in the drain come to the living room. Very uncomfortable if someone has to use the sofa bed to sleep there. The people who took care of us were very kind. We appreciate the welcome cake.

Cozy little cottage with a very quiet idyllic location.

Gui has two houses for rent, in a nice, quiet, rural environment close to beautiful Ponte-de-Lima. She is very friendy and extremely helpful.

Anyone who loves free and independent travel to a wide variety of places and in a wide variety of accommodations via Airbnb and Portugal as well, absolutely must have stayed in Julio's old watermill. We traveled the area between Lisbon and Porto and spent four nights with Julio and enjoyed it very much. We were delighted by Julio's friendliness, the tranquility and nature surrounding the mill, day trips in the area or just lingering in the beautifully landscaped and very well-kept garden.
