Waterfront vacation rentals in Douro

I had a fantastic stay at Marcia’s lovely apartment. I found her to be highly responsive to my communications and questions. The place was very clean, bed was especially comfortable, and shower/bath great. What really made my stay there, though, was the outstanding view from the apartment and proximity to all the sights. I also felt very safe in that area as a solo traveler. Muito obrigada, Marcia! I look forward to staying at your place again in the future!

Very nice and modern flat that didn‘t leave any wishes open! Extremely warm welcome and great tipps for the area to experience lovely Porto.

I just loved staying at Sandra’s. It was a very welcoming apartment. Everything you need is there. I really enjoyed sitting out on the balcony watching the street below. It’s a very lively area in the day. Still, when night came, the street became quiet and I had no issues with sleeping. This location can’t be beat!

Clear instructions for check-in, clean apartment that looked just like the photos, and an amazing view of the river! A lot of loud, lively activity on the riverfront which was something we expected but good for guests to be aware of. We had a great stay and hope to return soon!

Francisco's apartment is one of the best! The location is just the center of Porto with the stunning bridge view. Francisco is far more than warm, helpful, and proactive. He prepared everything we need and check everyday to offer great help. It made us feel like home! The rooms are really nice in the old building, with easy and safe parking. Francisco welcomed us when checkin, and warmingly showed each equipments in the house, also helped with many luggages to the 2nd floor. Overall, we enjoyed our staying and hopefully could stay longer.

Terrace place is an enchanting part of Gaia. You will immediately feel at home. The apartment is very clean and cosy. Restaurants, markets and vineries are close by. You can do a lot of things on foot but public transport is easy to reach, too, as are boats or the cable car. Communication with Terrace was very quick and efficient. The view over to Porto's Old Town from the sun deck was incredible. We definitely had a great time and will book again whenever we come to Porto.

We loved our stay in Porto! The apartment was beautiful, clean and comfortable, and their instructions were very easy to follow. Having a spot to park our car was also a great perk, especially since you can walk to everywhere from this spot easily. We highly recommend this spot if you’re in Porto!

Very nice apartment. A quiet area by the beach, just what we were looking for!

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.

Magnificent site with views of the river. Great place for children to play with pool and secure play area. House accommodation is homely with comfortable beds. Very secure and accessible local amenities.

The view here is incomparable! The views over the Duoro River are amazing. It’s so close to wineries and winery tours too. There’s a supermarket close by with all you’ll need. It was hot the day we arrived and the pool overlooking the valley was pristine and oh so refreshing! Our host did a great job of communicating and made us feel right at home. I could have stayed here a lot longer!

Bruno was an excellent host, and had a wonderful accommodation. I will definitely be back in the future, thank you Bruno!

A wonderful stay and so lovely to be this close to the beach. Definitely worth travelling into Porto as limited things to do near the stay. Nevertheless, Paula was such a brilliant host! ♥️

The place is stunning absolutely immaculate and the hosts were extremely accommodating thank you so much for hosting us in this memorable location!

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.

Very nice location! Perfect for wine and olive oil tasting and a bucolic setting. Very nice!

This apartment could not be better located and is exquisitely decorated. Such a great value for the nightly rate. After a little help from our host with the washer/dryer, our stay was seamless. Thanks again and we look forward to our return!!

Andreina's place is very cozy. The São Pedro do Sul Hot Springs is a very beautiful place. I had an excellent time. Andreina was very attentive to everything and always responded quickly.

There were three of us women friends going to start the Camino Walk. It was the best experience. Philip let us check in early as we had a red eye from Toronto. Paula met us early and helped us check in. The condo is gorgeous. Perfect for us. So clean and do equipped. From the beautiful towels to the plates to the beach chairs. Everyone was wonderful. I couldn't recommend it more. ! Location location!

Pro's: - The view is phenomenal!! - The location is convenient and central (bus and metro stops nearby) - Large bedroom (also a beautiful view!) -Genug Platz - in the kitchen, everything you need is there (a second pot would be nice) -All was clean - There is an elevator (apartment is on the 7th floor) Cons: - The ventilation in the bathroom turns on automatically in the afternoon and does not turn off again until the next morning. It is very loud and looks dirty, and it also gives off an unpleasant smell when it runs. You should always have the bathroom door open for ventilation. No dishwasher - Large and noisy construction site around the corner Overall, I had a great stay and felt comfortable!

We loved staying at Christoph's place! He was always responsive and helpful. His location was exactly as described and in an ideal location to walk around to many different shops and restaurants.

Ana is a very friendly host. She gave clear instructions about how to get to the appartment and always answered my questions. The appartment was very nice and clean. It is located at walking distance from the ferry to Aveiro.

Very nice apartment, as described and shown in photos. Antonio is very welcoming and accommodating the view from the apartment is just amazing Antonio's touches like coffee, dishwasher pods and laundry are a very nice addition. i recommend this listing

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!
