Family-friendly vacation rentals in Foz do Arelho

We had an amazing stay at Carlos' villa with our group of 13 adults and 3 babies. The villa is incredibly spacious, with 12 full beds and additional sleeping options on the comfortable couches. The large garden was perfect for the kids to play in, and we thoroughly enjoyed the heated pool and spacious, clean Jacuzzi. The kitchen was slightly used but very functional, offering plenty of room and every kitchen item we could possibly need to cook for our group. The barbecue area is large, though located a little far from the kitchen by the parking area. The rooftop terrace provided stunning 360° views, and the sunsets were simply beautiful. The villa is located in a peaceful, quiet area, just a short 10-minute walk to the beach, which we loved. While walking to the beach is easy, having a car is ideal for reaching larger supermarkets, which are about a 13-minute drive away. Parking offers plenty of space Overall, this villa was the perfect choice for our large group. Highly recommended!

What an incredible apartment! It’s fully equipped, immaculately clean, and the beds are so comfortable—perfect for a good night's sleep. There are also so many useful items for kids, which makes it super convenient for families. The huge terrace and jacuzzi provide such a lovely space to relax. Hugo is truly a wonderful host—so polite and kind. I really appreciate your warm hospitality! Thank you for making our stay so special!

Beautiful house by the beach! We loved the peace and the view. The house is very comfortable and has a lot of charm (and a lovely little library). The kitchen especially is well-stocked. Since you’re surrounded by nature there are many spiders, snakes and lizards (mostly outside, thankfully). We visited in November and the temperature in the house really dropped at night (from 20C to 15C). The only option to heat is a small and somewhat noisy space heater, so if you visit in winter be prepared with warm clothes. That was the only thing we found difficult during an otherwise extremely pleasant stay. Pedro was a very friendly and engaged host!

Nous avons tout adoré pendant notre séjour. La maison est située dans un lieu exceptionnel et isobel et renato sont aux petits soins. Parfait séjour en famille. Des petits bouts de nos cœurs sont restés là-bas !

The apartment is really nice! Super clean and modern and the roof top terrace is definitely a nice thing on top. In general the apartment is well equipped and I really enjoyed my stay. Claudia also was very responsive regarding questions and everything is very well explained within the apartment. I’d love to stay there again at some point.

Foi uma semana de férias bem passada, onde tivemos tudo o que necessitamos no apartamento (utensílios/serviços/máquinas) como nos foi comunicado pelo Sr. Luis. Nas redondezas encontram-se excelentes locais de gastronomia com boa relação preço/qualidade. O local é calmo e com bons acessos tanto para andar a pé como para descobrir de carro novos destinos.

Que estadia incrível! Desde a localização, que abraça a natureza e traz uma calma incrível, até à casa em si, equipada com todos os utensílios necessários para uma estadia perfeita. Tenho ainda que agradecer à Adriana e ao seu pai pela facilidade de comunicação e toda a atenção dispensada! Com certeza será um local a visitar novamente!

A beautiful condo on the beach with a view of the ocean. Line it’s a great layout and you’ll enjoy looking at the ocean. There is a restaurant next-door however we never had any issues with noise. I wish they had a faucet to wash your feet off after you came back from the beach, but that’s not the responsibility of this condo that the association should handle that.

Everything was perfect! Wish we had stayed longer.

We enjoyed our stay at Sandra’s place. She was very friendly and attentive and made us feel at home. The accommodation is close to all the local shops and restaurants which was very convenient. It was fitted with everything you can possibly need including a full oven and washing machine. We highly recommend Sandra’s place to anyone visiting Nazaré.

Ótimo comunicação com o proprietário e fácil check-in. O espaço corresponde exatamente à descrição do anúncio e a localização é bem central. Perto de tudo o que precisa.

Heel mooi huisje! Prachtige inrichting, veel plaats om spullen op te bergen. Ruime badkamer, met genoeg warm water. Prachtig buitenzitten, zwembad mooi onderhouden. Bij aankomst lag er wat brood, water, fruit, confituur,... super attent! Een aanrader, hele mooie omgeving, op een 10 minuutjes rijden ben je in winkels, restaurants,...

Had a lovely few days at Maria’s gorgeous house in a great location inside the city walls . A charming place with so much character! Near everything but not too busy or noisy , perfectly positioned to explore the area . Maria was very informative and helpful on local recommendations. Highly recommend !

Sehr großes Haus mit privatem Pool und wirklich riesiger Dachterrasse. Wir waren nur zu zweit hier, es gibt Betten für 6 Personen und 2 Badezimmer. Für das Auto gibt es eine Garage, auch genügend Parkplätze vor dem Haus. Zum Surfen: nur 10 Minuten mit dem Auto nach Baleal und Supertubos ist noch näher. Danke an Celia für die schöne Zeit!

Sehr nettes und sauberes Haus in absoluter Toplage! Die Aussicht auf das Meer und die Lage direkt über dem Strand sind fantastisch! Die Ausstattung des Hauses ist sehr gut. José und sein Vater sind sehr zuverlässige und hilfsbereite Gastgeber. Nazaré ist ein sehr sympathischer Ort mit vielen guten Restaurants und mit dem Auto in wenigen Minuten erreichbar. Leider konnten wir diesmal nur wenige Tage bleiben, aber wir wollen unbedingt wieder einmal kommen und dann sollen es mehr Tage werden!

This beautifully updated traditional stone house exceeded our expectations in pretty much every way! It is quaint but with everything we needed for our 3-night stay, including good heat (which we used due to the chilly weather). We gave all 5s except one 4 because the house is right next to the road. The 18" thick walls in the house keep the noise to a minimum and the road is not busy at all, so no big deal. The host prepared a super-helpful booklet of nearby sights and restaurants that we referred to regularly (in both Portuguese and English). We can't recommend this place highly enough!

Gostamos muito de visitar a casa Orquídea, foi uma excelente experiência para desconectar. O espaço exterior é de facto o ponto alto do alojamento, sugerimos um mergulho na piscina ou ver o por do sol nos enumeros sítios com vista.

Had such a lovely week in Nazaré. Rachelle was such a great host - we were delayed due to flight delays on arrival and she waited until 1:30am to say hi to us and show us around. She was very responsive with replies and we locked our key in the house and she dropped one off straight away! The house was really clean and had lots of cooking amenities. We opted to have the pool heated for the extra €120 and I woukd definitely recommend this as it was really warm! The property is a little bit far outside of nazare centre, so you really need to get taxis to and from town but we used Ubers a lot which were only €4 each way. We surfed most days at Praia des pareses which is a lovely beach with great waves. Overall a lovely trip. Would recommend. Only minor issue was having to be quiet after 10pm and not use the pool after this time so if you are wanting a more party week then I’d probably look at other options. For us this was fine though :) Thanks Rachelle!

I went to meet my brother and his family to spend Christmas together , Maria Helena was vey flexible and friendly, explained that party wasn’t aloud as described but a family meeting would be welcome because Christmas is a special occasion, we had a wonderful family dinner, place is absolutely stunning, Maria Helena and her husband are very friendly and Helpful. Maria Helena showed around and explained how to use the facilities. The house is big and beautiful, kitchen has everything we need , weather was cold because the winter but the place has heating and 2 wood fire and enough wood to burn inside and outside if need . Stunning mountains view. I recommend anyone who goes hire a car to explore around . The Nazaré beach is stunning ( famous for the highest waves in the world) . Villages around ate beautiful snd clean , it stands out for the oranges , small trees with oranges everywhere, locals also put bags of oranges around in fences for free , we enjoyed oranges from her garden .

We had a wonderful family holiday at Maverick Surf Villas. Lots to do in the local area, stunning coastline, definitely need a car, but its easy to get every where, roads are very quiet. The villa was beautiful, so much space and everything you could need. Hosts were very helpful, gave us lots of advice on the local area and hosted some lovely dinners. Thank you so much.

Very pleasant house for a larger family with children and lots of sports equipment. Spacious with facilities to accomodate all needs - storage, cleaning, drying, cooking, relaxing. Clean and cleaned at no additional cost in the middle of the stay. Very nice host who remembers and fulfills promises and cares of guests´well-being even if requests beyond standard - in our case need for softer mattress due to back problems. Very quick and easy communication. ***** for the place and one more extra * for Rogerio :-)

Casa súper recomendable. El propietario es muy amable y dispuesto a ayudar, respondiendo muy rápido. La casa es estupenda y no le falta de nada. Además, ha puesto a nuestra disposición todos los "extra" como dos cunas o un radiador. sin duda espero volver y la recomiendo para viajes en familia o en grupo.

Wonderful place in a calm area

Gostamos muito da nossa estadia. A Natalia e Catarina foram sempre muito prestativas e rápidas a responder. A localização é excelente e a 2min da praia a pé. Estacionamento fácil e gratuito. O apartamento está muito bem conservado, limpo e é bastante espaçoso. Cozinha bem equipada, incluindo com especiarias, torradeira, máquina de café (com cápsulas),... Gostamos muito e parabéns pelo excelente apartamento.
