Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Paiva River

We really enjoyed the spectacular views, the amazing terrace and the fun pool. BBQ area was a real plus and all the amenities were adequate for our party of six. Joao was a very friendly and responsive host. The main bedroom was large but the other bedrooms and communal areas were small with limited soundproofing. The location was beautifully private but the noises from the town and river could be loud.

Dajas Douro Valley was perhaps more beautiful than the photos! It was the perfect place to relax between adventures in Lisbon and Porto. We especially loved spending time by the pool by day and cozying up with a bottle of wine by the fire pit by night. Alexandra and Tatiana were very welcoming. A few tips for future guests: The property is nestled in the hillside which means it is at least 20 minutes from towns/restaurants. We rented a car which was helpful for exploring nearby areas, but be prepared for many narrow, steep and winding roads! We found that Waze gave better directions (less rustic) than Google maps. We also wished we had stopped at a grocery store to stock up on some food for our villa before arriving. I also recommend booking reservations at local wineries as we didn’t have much luck just showing up (midweek at least). My husband and I would absolutely stay here again!

beautiful garden and house. Silvio was such a great host and I couldn't imagine a better place to stay.

Incredible sightseeing. Beautiful house) has space for parking. Dog friendly)

On our trip to Portugal, the Douro Valley was the highlight of the trip from the storybook views to the spread of freshly picked cherries, homemade preserves and wine awaiting our arrival to the cleanliness and comforts of a beautiful home perched high up on the vineyard terraced hills. The game room was an incredible surprise - there are seven eighties arcade games along with a ping pong table, a foosball table and an infinity game with over 150 board games built into the table. The hospitality was second to none. Gabrella, the property manager, was one step ahead of us ensuring that we had everything we needed to make our stays one of the most memorable. Sephi, the owner, is one of the most generous people we have ever met. His passion for region and willingness to offer his time to you is amazing. We spent one morning touring his winery, learning the old way of making wine and enjoying the fruits of his labor – an extraordinary experience not a just another Air BnB.

This place was amazing, way bigger than it looks in the photos, with everything we needed and incredible views. The host was super helpful and easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend and stay again if I get the chance!

The stay went incredibly well. We had high expectations, but it managed to exceed them. The house is very well located and the decor is wonderful! For me, João and Debora are impressive as hosts, they left nothing to chance and were always available to help. For sure, repeating it!

Our stay at Quinta Rainha Santa Mafalda was unforgettable. The villa’s views over the Douro River and surrounding vineyards were absolutely breathtaking—sunrises here are something special. The home itself was spotless, spacious, and beautifully furnished, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The terrace was our favorite spot to relax with wine in the evening. The location is ideal: peaceful and private, yet close to wineries and charming villages. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, providing great local recommendations that made our trip even better. Every detail, from the cozy beds to the fully equipped kitchen, was thoughtfully prepared. This was one of the best Airbnb experiences we’ve ever had, and we would return in a heartbeat. Highly recommend! Also the house maid here was amazing and cooked us one of the best Portuguese dinners!

The location was so good, and it was so convenient to enter and exit with a passcode. The host's response came quickly, and the view that was slightly visible from the window was great.

Abi and Regina are exceptional hosts who made our stay memorable. We especially enjoyed the tour of the animation museum by Abi which was fascinating The property is very lovely, the flower and vegetable gardens are incredible and the whole ambience is very relaxing. A perfect place to stay for several days. We thoroughly recommend staying here and look forward to returning

Great place to stay and having three complete private bedrooms is highly beneficial when traveling with family. We hope to return for a longer trip in the future to soak in the sun and visit the Douro Valley. Very accessible location.

The apartment was spotlessly clean, with modern and newly furnished interiors. The location was excellent — close to everything, and there was a great supermarket just around the corner. The internet was super fast, which was a big plus. It would have been even better with an elevator, but hey, you’re in the land of hills after all! :) All in all, a very comfortable and pleasant stay.

Felt like living in the middle of Porto. Close to lots of bars and restaurants. Nice apartment and very at home feel. We were there when Portugal won euro finals so very noisy from the bars outside, but thats to be expected! Lovely apartment

The apartment is beautiful, beautiful view, well decorated, clean, with all household utensils, impeccable linens, it was well worth staying there.

we had a wonderful stay at Maria’s apartment! the views from the living room and garden were incredible and we were so close to many great restaurants, shops, bars, and tourist attractions. the host was able to accommodate a slightly early check in and we met at the apartment to pick up the keys and be shown around the building. we were also given a map with some recommendations and directions to the event we were in town for. the garden area is shared between all 4 units in the building. i believe the hosts family is two units and the other two are rentals. it was a little rainy during our stay so we only went out to the garden a couple times but it was very pleasant out there and we got to meet the host’s dog! everything in the apartment was great and we felt right at home for our 5 nights in porto. would highly recommend staying here!

We really enjoyed meeting Manuel for our check-in. Her tips for visits were great. The apartment was impeccable, we will definitely come back because everything was perfect!

Spectacular setting wish we had more time to enjoy the place. Clean and comfortable. Full kitchen. Needs a car to get to. Looks like the photos. Bring all your own food then you don’t have to leave.

We are very happy with the accommodation! From the warm welcome to the attention to detail, everything contributed to a comfortable and peaceful stay. The space is cozy, larger than we thought, well maintained and with a wonderful view, ideal for relaxing after a day full of adventures. An experience we certainly want to repeat! 🏡✨

Fantastic stay at Ricardo's villa! Beautiful pool and villa setup in an incredibly secluded part of the countryside. We went as a group of eight in our late twenties - we didn't have a car so Ricardo organised a taxi for us to get around that was incredibly helpful, including to get down into the village to visit the INCREDIBLE Tasquinha do Tio Miguel! We will be back! Xxx

Absolutely loved this place and can’t wait to go back!!! Adrianne was great dropping by each morning to have a little tidy in the kitchen and make breakfast. The view of the Douro valley from poolside and the rooms was incredible. Can’t say enough good things about our stay!

We had a great stay at this apartment! It was clean, comfortable, and in a convenient location. The host was super nice and very helpful, making the experience even better. Highly recommend!

We had a great and peaceful time at Joao's beautiful stone house up in hills. The deck is absolutely gorgeous to hang out with friends and family. We loved the quietness of place. There are no nearby restaurants so make sure to plan the trip accordingly, otherwise it's awesome place to relax unwind and chill.

It was a pleasure to stay again. Our highlight was the donkey on the property next door. Thank you for the hospitality

We spent 10 days in the country house and had such a lovely stay. Vania made us feel welcome and provided us with all we needed for our baby. The house is charming, authentic yet clean and equipped with all you need. The location has a lot to offer on a day trip and transport to Porto and the airport is easy. This experience is beyond what can be expected from the average Airbnb, have already recommended to friends and family and we hope to come back :-)
