Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Douro

I spent a glorious month at Maria Celeste’s home. It was simply the best place to reset, connect with nature & rest. I’ve never been to a more peaceful home. Freshly squeezed orange juice (from trees) every morning. Lemons for water. A natural spring to swim off hiking grime. Mountains to climb surrounding the entire home. Lizard & butterfly friends. And so so quiet. Maria Celeste picked me up & drove me to the location. Taxi services available to go to town when needed. I can not recommend staying at this home more. If you need some R’n’R, stay. You won’t regret it.

we have enjoyed this beautiful location, what a picture. Daniela was very friendly and helpful. Super host.

Very peaceful setting with a beautiful view of the mountains.

Amazing property and view. We had a terrific time. The property worked great for our group. Best sunset! Marco and his crew were extremely responsive. Driving in the Douro Valley is not for the faint of heart. We had a ball!

A great location in the countryside 45 minutes from Porto and 2 hours from Pinhão. Beautiful scenery , hiking around. Home is on a hill with amazing views of the Douro River. Beautiful outdoor space with outdoor kitchen and a small pool. Excellent for family vacation.

Beautiful house in a sleepy village, perfect for chilling and as a base for exploring the region.

We’ve had a wonderful time in this beautiful apartment. Stunning views, nice pool and Pedro is the best Airbnb host you can get. Would love to come back here some day.

loved it! a piece of heaven(: very quite, the prettiest pool plus a waterfall

It was a magical place and somewhere we would recommend to everyone in the area. So beautiful and calm and lots of cute animals to pat.

We've had an amazing 4 days here. It's just a perfect location and we felt at home here. The pool, the view, the garden with grill - everything was just perfect. The only 'negative' things, if you can call them negative, is that the bathroom is on a different floor than the bedrooms, and that the parking is a bit tight for a large car. We can fully recommend this place to anyone looking for a private getaway in a beautiful location.

The countless reviews say it all: this place and Murilo's hospitality are both exceptional. Best to check it out for yourself as my review won't do it justice. A few highlights: the kitchen is fully equipped, the space is family friendly, and the landscape is amazing. This is my favorite airbnb booking, and I travel a lot. Would recommend to friends and family any time! Thank you Murilo, you have an exceptional spot and truly are a superhost!

Amazing place. We've spent a month there and everything was perfect. Nuno is very helpful and a friendly host. The place itself was above all of our expectations: fantastic view, super clean and comfortable. Felt right like home.

The house was perfect. The area around the house was even better. It's an awesome option to stay away from noise and rush. The assistance was also great. All our questions were answered in advance and during the stay. I highly recommend this place, and I'll be glad to come back. Note: there are up to 5 big dogs outside the house. If you're planning to come with your dogs, keep in mind that it will be difficult/impossible to spend time with them outside.

Everything was great.

Very clean house in a peaceful place with everything you need to spend a good time.

Beautiful house with a beautiful view. We really enjoyed our stay, and Elisabete was very easy to communicate with and responsive to anything we needed. She even provided a crib. Thanks so much for hosting us!

We loved staying here. Very quiet, rural locations and a fantastic barn conversion with everything you need. Highly recommend walking in the area

I spent two magnificent days with my family at Casa dos Vinhais. The host, José, is very nice, attentive and helpful and we were optimally received by him. The house is really special with the family's antique furniture and crockery with the very nice living room and the very beloved bedrooms. Here you sit and breathe the story. The view from the house to the Douro River is beautiful and we could not take advantage to bathe in the river but, in the warmer months, it would be possible to enjoy the outside well. We can ask to make dinner at home and the cod with cream and the alheira prepared by José e Graça was divine. In addition, the small Almoco is included in the stay and is really delicious! I hope to return here again to this home. Thank you for everything!

Calm and relaxing Sitio. We had a very good weekend at the Alambique house with access to the pool. We went on a horseback ride that we really enjoyed. We also use the paddle tennis court. Easy communication with host Georgina, always very accessible. Thank you!

A Hidden Gem in Nature! We had an unforgettable stay at this stunning farmhouse! The setting is absolutely serene—surrounded by lush greenery and fresh air. The highlight for us was definitely the natural water tank. It felt like our own private spring-fed pool—so refreshing and peaceful, especially in the mornings. The farmhouse itself is beautifully maintained, combining rustic charm with modern comforts. The interiors were cozy and spotless, and the kitchen was well-equipped for cooking meals. Waking up to the sound of birds and sipping coffee on the porch while looking out over the landscape was pure magic. Our host was warm, welcoming, and very responsive, offering great local tips and ensuring we had everything we needed. If you’re looking to disconnect from the hustle and reconnect with nature, this place is a dream. We can’t wait to return!

We had such a wonderful stay at Maria and Ana’s apartment! The apartment actually felt a bit bigger than the pictures showed, and there was a lot of storage space for all our stuff. Maria and Ana have anticipated everything you need so you can just start enjoying Porto. We absolutely LOVED the terrace—perfect spot to have breakfast and relax (the chairs are SUPER comfy). Finally, Maria and Ana were incredibly responsive—we had a few questions and got responses within minutes each time. Would absolutely stay here again!

We spent 2 nights there in June. The accommodation is located in a very peaceful location with a magnificent view of the mountains. The only downside is the bell tower that rings every 30 minutes from 6 a.m.

Amazing experience and to be repeated! The house has a breathtaking view. The pool is very well located with the barbecue, making the space very pleasant. 5 star cleaning. The host was always very helpful, always available to clarify any questions that might come up. I highly recommend this experience, as it was one of the best to date. The only thing to point out is that the temperature of the jacuzzi is not adjustable. I had a fever of 37.5°C and at some point, it became uncomfortable.

The chalet was beautifully set up with all necessary items - plus welcoming bonuses, including homemade breads and butter, complementing the breakfast items. We met Luisa on arrival (we were early - which was not a problem for her) and were introduced to the unit - and then shared a thoroughly enjoyable longer chat about our families, lives, and so on; later we met Mario. Our unit was one of two in the chalet, both with private entrances, but usefully with an interconnecting door should a larger group want to stay. Because there were two units, there was naturally some normal living noise (conversation, moving about etc), as you’d expect in that configuration, but not excessive. A minor issue over parking with the other visitors was sorted out efficiently and effectively, which characterized the professional way this property is managed. But a warning: Apple Maps sent us on what was probably the shortest route once at Alijo, but the ‘road’ became so very narrow, we didn’t fit!
