Quinta do Cedro Verde [Green Cedar Estate]
Place was great, host was awesome and communicated well. I would suggest guests bring bug spray!

Casa do Farol Beach House, Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal
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! ♥️

House of Diana II Evora's Historical Centre Loft
We are two couples who had a terrific stay at Susana’s place. Susana was there waiting for us and oriented us. She gave us great restaurant recommendations. The house itself was lovely, clean and comfortable. We loved having two bathrooms. We didn’t cook but we had breakfast there and some takeout food for dinner one night and everything was there that we needed. The location was perfect—very close to the cathedral in the heart of the city and a short walk to the main square. It couldn’t have been a better choice.

Amazing Pool Pavilion with Private Heated Pool
Amazing stay. Clean, spacious, gorgeous furnitures and amenities, pool bigger than we thought and they had an amazing check in process of showing us the place and how everyone works/where to find etc. honestly best place to stay in Cascais! Close to beach and city centre (10 min walk!). Thank you!

Rustic House with Pool & Jacuzzi -Arouca Portugal
Great hospitality. Lovely accomodation. Beautiful surroundings.

Arrifana beach house Gilberta
Absolutely stunning location, absolutely nothing default, the only thing I would say is if you have mobility issues both the walkway up to the property and the stairs to the mezzanine bedroom could be a little bit challenging especially if you’ve had a few drinks, we are in our 60s and generally fitso it was no problem for us.

Beach House - Amazing front water spot
We spent a week in Apúlia for a family vacation and it was absolutely wonderful! The beach house is located right by the ocean – the view is breathtaking, and the whole place has an amazing atmosphere. The house was very clean, well-equipped, and situated in a peaceful, quiet area away from the center of Apúlia. The host, Luis, welcomed us personally and gave us a tour of the house – a very warm and kind person. There were seven of us, even though the house is meant for six people, but Luis kindly arranged an extra bed for our teenager without any problem. The place has a unique charm – we spent hours on the terrace just watching the ocean, grilling fresh fish we bought in Apúlia, and enjoying the peace and quiet. We highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings. We would love to come back! The beaches in the area are absolutely stunning. There’s also the Apulia Surf School in town, which we highly recommend!

Quinta Da Barroquinha "Shepherd's Cottage"
Rogerio was a lovely host. Felt very at ease staying at their place. Very helpful and easy going. Really enjoyed our stay. Rustic with all the mod cons for a comfortable stay. Thanks again

THE miniPENTHOUSE terrace & SPA
Carlos is an outstanding host. We travelled for my partners birthday, of which I let Carlos know and he went out of his way to have balloons set up, a cake and bottle of wine in the fridge. I can’t fault the apartment either. Everything you see in the pictures is just as it is in real life. An amazing property with easy access in and out of Lisbon. We would 100% return, even if it means having to wait a year due to the popularity of the property!

LeBlanche
Very interesting place. Good views of the river. Handy for town and country

Penthouse with City Castle View
Had an amazing week end in Lisbon. The airbnb was in the perfect location, whether you want to be in a peaceful place, near nice restaurants or walking distance to the party neighbourhoods. In addition, the hosts always responded to us when we had an inquiry and was super friendly. Thank you !!!

Standard Farrapos House
We had an amazing time staying here. Once you walk out, you are immersed in the life of the city, right in the middle of all of the action, but when you walk into the house, it is as if you’re taken away from the hustle and bustle and are in your own private world. We would 100% recommend staying here.

Unique Home in Historical Centre - Roof Terrace!
Great location. The apartment is cute and spacious. Plentiful AC. Peggy's directions were absolutely amazing and to the T!! It made getting there so easy!!! We would definitely go back!!

VIP! Luxury Suite in an 18th c. Palace - downtown
Great stay in a perfect location. The apartment was well furnished and comfortable and we were able to walk everywhere from the central location. Would definitely stay here again.

Beachfront Pool + Vegetable garden + Ocean view
Petter is a wonderful host :-). The accommodation was just perfect: close to Lisbon, beautiful view to the atlantic ocean and surrounded by greenery and super private. Everything was exactly as described - maybe even better.

House with portuguese soul
Alexandra was brilliant, the instructions for the apartment were some of the best we have received. Apartment was just as pictured and was beautifully done. Super comfortable and felt right at home. Location was great for walking from, with amenities close by. Couldn’t fault our time there!

Abrigo do Moleiro
My family and I had the most wonderful stay in Philipe’s windmill. The home was beautiful, clean, and in a great location! It was accompanied by yummy breakfast. Philipe, the host, is truly a superhost, his communication is among the best I’ve received on airbnb. He replies quickly and offers great suggestions for activities, restaurants, and more. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to recommend this and to return in the future!

StoneMade Glamping and Hydromassage Leiria
A really nice and quiet place, perfect to disconnect from everyday life. The apartment was very clean and in good condition. Horácio is a very likeable and friendly host. He showed us everything important about the accommodation and was always easily accessible. We can definitely recommend the place!

Cabana Zojora
Small cabin full of charm . Very responsive host who allowed us to check in a little early . Amazing Cadee

Casa Chão de Ourém, Charm in Montargil.
One more very positive review. Simone and Frederic are super hosts, very responsive, friendly,.. The place itself is a true little heaven. Breath taking view, super quiet, 100% privacy, modern. Will come back!

Retiro dos Limões / bungalow with private pool
Our stay at the Lemon Farm was nothing short of unforgettable. Nestled just outside Porto, this peaceful retreat offered the perfect mix of nature, comfort, and charm. The setting was serene and full of character—from the citrus trees to the rustic elegance of the property. But what truly made our visit special were the horses. Their calm presence and gentle nature added something truly meaningful to our experience. Whether we were watching them graze at sunset or simply being near them, they brought a sense of grounding and peace we didn’t expect but deeply appreciated.

Cascata Studio
Incredible place. Even more amazing in person than the photos show. Carolina is very nice and helpful. I felt right at home. Definitely want to go back again. Amazing experience.

Studio by the Sea, 5min walk to beach, w/garage
A great location to start expiring the area. The apartment is not located in the most touristy area but in the quieter part of the town. Very easy to walk down to the beautiful beach, restaurants or explore the area for a walk. Nat provided recommendations for the direct area but also for the surrounding area. The flat itself is perfect and has everything you can imagine. Nat went so far even bringing us a new citrus press when we talked about it at our arrival. Thanks again for this great service. So the only negative I can say is that you will have to leave at one point! Thanks for having us and definitely a recommendation.

Mango Yurt ~ EcoGlamping in a Hidden Paradise
What a truly unique one of a kind oasis, crafted with love.
Your guide to Portugal
All About Portugal
With historic cities, extravagant castles, idyllic beaches, and a renowned food and wine, Portugal offers visitors myriad memorable experiences. In the capital city of Lisbon, you’ll find incredible street art-covered buildings as well as historical landmarks like the 16th-century Tower of Belém — a UNESCO World Heritage site. St. George’s Castle towers over the city, while the spectacular neo-Gothic Santa Justa Lift rises above the rooftops for stunning views. Lisbon is famous for pastéis de nata, custard pastries created by Catholic monks in the 18th century, and people line up out the door of the local bakeries for the delicious treats.
Porto is Portugal’s second city, and its old town — which is a designated UNESCO Heritage site — is lined with cobbled streets, ornate churches, and beautifully tiled buildings decorated with distinct blue and white tiles called azulejos. It’s also the place to sample the country’s most famous wine, port.
On the west coast, you’ll find the narrow streets and opulent palaces of Sintra, while in the north, you can explore picturesque waterways from inside a gondola in Aveiro. The island of Madeira boasts incredible landscapes and charming villages, as well as fresh seafood and delicious Madeira wine. And you’ll find some of Europe’s finest beaches in the Algarve in southern Portugal, with stunning limestone rock formations that tower over the sand.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Portugal
Portugal experiences year-round sunshine, so anytime is a great time to secure a vacation rental in a city or along the coast. Depending on the region, though, the weather each season can vary. In the south, the Algarve enjoys long, hot summers and short, mild winters. Lisbon experiences hot summers and rainy winters, while in Porto and the north, summers are hot and winters can get chilly. Spring and fall are pleasant throughout the country, with warm days and mild evenings.
Portugal hosts festivals and events all year round. Carnivale takes over Lisbon in February with street acts, costumes, and parades. In May, the streets of Madeira are covered in flowers for the Flower Festival. Towns and cities come alive for the Santos Festivities (Celebration of the Popular Saints) in June with parades, traditional street dances, and fresh sardines. And in September, Porto celebrates Port Wine Day, with plenty of festivities spotlighting the famous drink.
Top things to do in Portugal
Sintra
Less than an hour from Lisbon, the town of Sintra features picturesque villas, palaces, and castles. Visit the ancient ruins of the Castle of the Moors, dating back to the eighth century. See the stunning architecture of the Regaleira Palace and Gardens and Monserrate Palace with its subtropical gardens. The highlight of the town, sitting high on a hill, is the spectacular pastel-painted Pena’s Palace — a former summer retreat for the royal family surrounded by lovely pine forests.
Lagos
The Algarve town of Lagos sits at the southernmost tip of the country and features beautiful pristine beaches and the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Ancient Moorish walls circle the town center, which is home to lovely squares full of cafes and shops. A highlight is Ponta da Piedade headland south of the town — a series of dramatic cliffs featuring incredible naturally formed grottos and sea caves.
Obidos
In the west, the town of Obidos is protected by an imposing eighth-century fortified wall. Walk through it into the town to find a magnificent medieval castle and ornate churches. The cobbled streets are full of vibrant squares with cafes, shops, and markets alongside whitewashed houses. The town is famous for its Medieval Festival in July, featuring jugglers, wandering minstrels, jousting knights, and a bounty of meat on offer.
