Villa vacation rentals in Guimarães

The best house in an Airbnb I've seen so far. Super cheap price for the big mansion it is. I will repeat the times I come to Braga

Jose and his assistant Hugo were simply wonderful. Staying at Jose’s estate is like a fairytale; it’s hands down one of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed and we were so incredibly welcomed and made to feel like family. I will miss Hugo’s big smile and Jose’s kind heart - this place is very very special ♥️

We had a lovely weeks stay at Casa da Horta. The pool and views from the pool area were amazing and the children enjoyed playing on the trampoline and exploring the grounds. The apartment itself was really well furnished and clean and we all loved the large shower. The position of the apartment at the top of the site meant it wouldn’t be suitable for anyone with mobility issues (as per Vania’s description) but for us it just meant that we walked off some the pastel de natas and we appreciated the particularly good views from our patio area. Guimaraes was only 12 mins drive away with its pretty historic town and Porto was an hour and ten minutes on the train (with one train every hour) and cost us around 22 euros return for the whole family. We also went on the cable cars at Guimaraes and the Funicular at Braga, both of which our children really enjoyed. We had a lovely holiday and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the apartments to anyone considering a holiday in the area.

Aurora was a fabulous host, very accommodating & friendly. We loved our time staying at Casa Lima. The place was in a private and beautiful location, which hosted a group of 11 people. We enjoyed having fresh bread delivered by Aurora daily, which made for a lovely experience. The place was clean and tidy with lots of space. All bedrooms had bathrooms, the kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals, and we enjoyed swimming in the pool.

Beautiful stay with a beautiful villa!! The owners were very attentive.

Fantastic accommodation. Beautiful gardens, pool and house. Marcus is a very good host, and looked after us so well - bringing us little gifts like fresh orange juice just made the experience so much better. One of our children really wanted to keep a huge lemon he’d found in the garden but we told him he would have to ask. Instead of just saying no, or yes, Marcus said “sure, but why don’t we make some lemonade together!”. Just so thoughtful and kind. The house is very well equipped and beautifully furnished. Lots of attention to detail. Pool is very large and everything is perfectly clean. Marcus and Rick really did go out of their way to ensure our stay was successful without ever being intrusive, so please don’t hesitate to book!

Daniel and Katrina are already good friends. They are good people, easy to communicate and very helpful. They were impeccable in welcoming my family into their home. I highly recommend them!

We spent a week in this typical Portuguese house. 4 couples between 25 and 30 years old. This rental far exceeded our expectations. imagine yourself finding yourself in a home with beautiful spaces, surrounded by orange trees, vineyards, Eucalyptus and magnificent nature. All maintained to perfection. the pool is perfect size, a shutter net or badminton is available, a pool table, a family-style barbecue. The icing on the cake, we had a bar at our disposal in the TV room (fridge + ice maker). neighbors are too far away to be disturbed This villa will be perfect for a week / 15 days with your friends with or without children. we will definitely be coming back to this beautiful place!

You can't find better than this house in Porto. Everything has been taken care of to the last detail. And that also with a very extensive breakfast made by Maria. The swimming pool is beautiful and is set in a large garden. Everything is lovingly cared for and laid out. Highly recommended this house.

A great place for a big family looking for peaceful surroundings and beautiful scenery. On rainy days the the ground floor with all the facilities were a great asset for the younger generation

We came to Church house in Moreira do Castelo, August 2024 with my wife & three teenage children. It is situated opposite a newish village square, carpark and 1960's Church, with spectacular views across the mountainous countryside looking towards Amarante, (a beautiful town), only 15mins away by car. In the village itself, there is Cinza's bar, a couple of small independently owned bars/shops nearby, but we found it easier to stock up on groceries at Pingo Doce in Amarante itself, (only 12 mins away). Great amenities at the house, swimming pool, bbq, pool room, tennis court etc., with a great deal of local charm the way the circa 1883 house has been rebuilt. It was v. hot whilst we were there (upper 30's), but with the shutters and mountain breezes we still found it very enjoyable. Within the village square, there is a football pitch, a kiosk which sells beers most evenings, where the locals gather. Conversations can be heard until gone midnight. Church bell strikes at 7am.

The house is amazing and equipped with all the amenities for a large group. The outdoor space has beautiful views and although the pool is shared with the T1 house on the side, everything went well, the space is large enough to be separate groups.

Very nice house with a pool and a big garden, everything is clean and comfortable. I can only recommend to stay here. We will definitely do so :)

Welcome , house , garden ... very nice.

An unforgettable family getaway at Quinta Refúgio Abreu! This place is a true luxury retreat — elegant, spacious, and surrounded by nature. We stayed as a family and couldn’t have asked for more. From the moment we arrived, the Portugal Active team took care of everything with incredible attention to detail. We had a private kitchen and cleaning team throughout our stay, and the service was outstanding — from breakfast to dinner, every meal was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. The kids loved the pool and the games room, while we enjoyed the peaceful garden, the tennis court, and relaxing in the outdoor lounge. We also booked some of the activities Portugal Active offers — horseback riding and a local food experience — and both were absolutely amazing. This is not just a holiday house, it’s an experience. Highly recommended for families looking for something special and stress-free!

A wonderful property. The pool was amazing. We had everything we needed. Luis was great in answering questions we had. He looked after the pool maintenance while we were there. Would love to come back again.

Spacious and super clean apartment. On the property of host, but private. Lovely pool. Quiet location.

Charming place (the pictures do not do it justice!) most pleasant welcome, Lino and his wife are simply adorable 😊 A real change of scenery that makes you crazy

The hosts always very attentive and friendly. The house exceeded expectations. It is much more beautiful and welcoming than what it shows. Anyway, we feel at home.
