Waterfront vacation rentals in Douro

The view from this Airbnb was breathtaking! It perfectly captures the beauty of Porto and is conveniently located near major attractions and great restaurants. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a stunning experience. Thanks, Isabel and Igor, for hosting us!

Everything was perfect, thank you so much!

Absolutely perfect place, well maintained and very well appointed. They have thought of everything to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. We were able to see all the apartments in the building and they are all just as nice. A little bit of a walk to town but you also have options near by like the gardens. Would definitely stay there again - they are truly super hosts!

The LeBlanche was an amazing stay. The open window view to the Douro River, the sound system, and comfortable bed were all spectacular! If I return to Porto someday, I will definitely be returning for another stay. ♥️

Couldn’t recommend this place more! A stunning, bright apartment with the best view of Porto. Excellent location and an excellent price too. It was perfect for our girls trip.

The house is very comfortable, we were 3 couples only one of the rooms is smaller because the other two have king size bed. Kitchen with everything you need, comfortable room for conviviality. It was not used but has amenities for laundry and everything super clean and in good order. The location is great for walking, quiet area for sightseeing. The only less good aspect is that one of the rooms is facing the road, in an avenue with a lot of passage it can be annoying the sound of some vehicles such as motorbikes/ambulances. Cristina has always been super helpful, careful and attentive to needs even before the reservation was complete. Certainly stands as a reference for a next trip to Porto.

Amazing stay. Over than our expectation. Clean and quite with amazing sea view. Will recommend to our friends.

Awesome stay, beautiful space and location, amazing host!!! Thank you, highly recommend!

The family had a fantastic week at a great location. Joao was a great host and super helpful.

I really enjoyed Bruno's place, the host was helpful, he spoke English very well. Wonderful location, great views of great people, close to subway and bolt also commute. Great

We had an absolutely wonderful weekend stay at this cozy and charming home! The place was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. Marisa was incredibly kind, responsive, and made sure we felt welcome from the moment we arrived. The location was perfect – peaceful and quiet, yet close enough to local attractions and nature spots. Highly recommended – we’d love to come back again!

Antonio was extremely responsive and generous with his time- picking me up at the station and dropping me off, and giving me a lift to the supermarket and to the river beach as I do not have a car and have reduced mobility. For others with mobility issues, I would say that it is quite steep there (which they warned me about) however I did find a couple of nice walks that were doable for me. The nature is exceptionally beautiful: mists rolling over the river, birds of prey gliding overhead, birdsong, the scent of orange blossom… I also enjoyed making a fire in the wood burner in the evening. This is a convenient place to come from Porto as it is just a few minutes’ drive from the train station which is on a scenic route 1.5 hours from the city. Thanks so much for having me!

Luciano’s place was perfect for our family while we spent a few days visiting family. We have younger kids and it was nice to be so close to plenty of public green space to be able to run and play.

We have been there for the second time and we enjoyed the time very much. The place is beautiful and everything is very clean and well maintained. There is a beautiful terrace, which unfortunately we could not use due to the bad weather.

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.

Bad weather didn't disturb my calm stay at Aguda's beach. Close to restaurants and the train station (Porto 20min), Aguda is a perfect spot for a rest, with the place right in front of the beach with fully functional facilities (including washing machine). Elisa was very reactive and attentive, which was greatly appreciated.

We had a wonderful week in Felipes apartment. As host, Filipe was the most helpful we have ever had. Local tips, helpfulness and service - and a nice sence of humour. The apartment were big, and the terrasse is a wonder with it's stunning view. We have already booked our next stay at Filipes; actually we did, whilst we were sitting i the apartment:-)

I recently stayed at Urbiluso Airbnb and had an amazing experience! The space was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing. Urbiluso was incredibly responsive. I felt very comfortable and safe throughout my stay. Overall, it was a fantastic stay, and I highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting the area!

We have never experienced such a well-maintained, clean and well-equipped apartment. It corresponds 100% to the photos. There is a large underground parking lot. The landlord Manuel took care of things proactively and asked several times if everything was okay. The location is right on the main beach of Esmoriz, separated only by the waterfront road. However, it should be noted that at the end of August, a fair takes place right in front of the house with corresponding volume in the afternoon and evening.

We felt very comfortable in the apartment. It is very tastefully decorated and we didn't miss anything there. There was, among other things, collected information about everything you could have had for questions. Very attentive and proactive. Ana is a very warm and attentive host. Thank you!

It was an excellent stay. excellent facilities, very friendly on the part of Peter and his wife, the house is very good, excellent cleanliness 👍👍👍👍 very close to the beach, Malafaia and very good access, balcony overlooking the sea. If I go back to the north, it will be my home of choice. I loved it

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!

Laura was kind, friendly, extremely helpful. It was clear we could contact Laura anytime but she also left us to enjoy our holiday. We had the nicest welcome and Laura also left fresh garden produce and eggs. We will definitely try and return in the future.
