Bed and breakfast vacation rentals in Douro

Very good communication with Angélique who is friendly and considerate. The accommodation and its exteriors have everything you need for a good holiday.

Quinta da Xandica, located just outside of Valença do Douro village, was a fantastic, and unique experience. It’s rare these days to find an Airbnb hosted by a “real” (boots on the ground) host who is not only there to share local knowledge and accommodates your needs, but literally who also welcomes you in to the ACTUAL family home. It reminded me of a traditional bed and breakfast, in all of the best ways. (Including a lovely breakfast in a dining room!!!) The Quinta was home to Matilde”s great grandfather, and is shared today with her grandmother and father (three generations). It’s a working farm, and an all around charming, beautiful place. Even during our unseasonably rainy visit, the grounds and area was stunning. Practically speaking, the bed was comfortable & the water hot. Dinner made by Matilde was a reasonably priced and delicious with estate wine. We also thoroughly interaction with other guests, the chipped dog, “Bill”, and access to the surrounding area. A treasure!

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...

Lovely home and a wonderful place to stay.

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!

Amazing 400 year old home, has always been in the family. The outside garden and pool are beautiful and peaceful. Small town near by with good quaint restaurants . About one hour from Douro Valley by a beautiful drive through back country roads. Highly recommend it

The house is located on the outskirts of Guimaraes, in a very quiet area, just 10 minutes from the historic center. The owners of the house are very attentive and the breakfast (for which you have to pay additionally) is worth it. In addition, highlighting kindness and close treatment. 100% recommended.

Nelly and Gerard were wonderful hosts! Their place was exactly as pictured, and the location was perfect for exploring both Aveiro and Costa Nova. The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We especially loved the garden and swimming pool. I would highly recommend staying here!

André and his team are very pleasant, attentive. The place of the stay is impeccable and very comfortable. I would definitely return to host with him. I recommend 100% as the cost-benefit is very high. Congratulations!!

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 : )

Cidalia’s place was outstanding. Beautiful room, and amazing views. Gorgeous pool right above Douro. Dary Cidalia’s son was super helpful with every small request. He is a chef, and the breakfast he served was not only delicious with a huge variety, but also beautifully served. I we will recommend this place to all our friends, and certainly would love to come again. Thank you!!! Tirza Haviv and Yosef Khen

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

A lovely place to rest and unwind after a hiking trail. The spa, hot tub and fireplace make the stay very pleasant and welcoming. I recommend it!

Thanks for the room! The place is wonderful and is a haven of peace

Antonio welcomed us like an hotel owner. A place filled with a beautiful family story told with passion . Politeness and courtesy are there I recommend it:)

We had a great time at Ann and her husband's place. They are lovely hosts, who made us feel very comfortable. The pool is a big plus. It feels like home. Above all, do not change anything and continue to make the guests who are visiting your beautiful home happy. we would have liked to continue the stay. Everything was perfect.

A very cozy place, you feel right at home even though you share common areas with people you don't know, everyone is very friendly !!!

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.

Edgarda is a wonderful host. He waited for us late at night because our transfer was delayed. He recommended places to eat. The apartment has everything we needed for a week-long stay. Our room had a private bathroom, with toiletries, towels, and a hair dryer. In the kitchen, there's a coffee maker, an oven, a toaster, a microwave, and all the dishes and silverware you need. There's a washer in the house. The apartment is shared with other residents. There has never been a problem with free parking on nearby streets. There is a very large shopping mall next door. Quiet neighborhood, no noise at night. The room has air conditioning and a large TV. There was a supply of water and wine in the fridge for us. Thank you Edgar for the stay.
