Monthly Rentals in Rio Covo

Claudio’s place is a gem! Beautiful, spacious, clean, and comfortable. Claudio was so kind to us as we were there during the big black out. He walked all the way over to the apartment to check on us! 10/10 recommend this place!

We had our first family trip to Portugal and chose to stay at Gallo’s House and we couldn’t have made a better choice. Toni, the owner, gave us a warm welcome and met us outside upon arrival. He showed us around the property and explained everything thoroughly, which was such a lovely start to our stay. The house had everything we needed: a fully equipped kitchen, fresh towels, and all the essentials. The pool was beautiful and available to use whenever we liked, a perfect way to relax during our trip. The area is peaceful and quiet, ideal for unwinding, yet it’s conveniently close to Porto, which made exploring the city really easy. Toni also gave us lots of great recommendations on where to eat and what to do in the area. Toni and Cristina truly know how to take care of their guests. Their hospitality made us feel right at home, and the place itself is simply amazing. I hope to return one day and stay there again. Highly recommended!

Perfect little home for our week long vacation. There were three of us so it was perfect but anything more than four and it would be crowded. The area at night was a bit noisy from the traffic but besides that it was perfect. My only complaint is we were staying for a week and we were only given one role of toilet paper, no paper towels or napkins, no soap, a scant amount of dishwasher soap to wash dishes and 4 pods for the coffee machine. We could not find the delta coffee pods so I bought a stove top coffee maker only to find out the stove was induction so i could not use it without getting creative and using the house pots. I bought my own paper towels and cleaner so that we could freshen up the bathroom and kitchen area, again typically these items are provided but may have been overlooked. I only mention it so that the owner can be more aware for other renters. Besides that I would definitely stay there again.

During my stay, I felt at home! André and Carmo were super nice to me. I have never felt so welcome, it felt like I was at home. The house is beautiful and super well restored, it has all the utensils and more than I'm used to. The pool is a delight, the dogs are super friendly. I left the house with a smile on my face and at the same time sad to leave it. It has an incredible selection of wines and a curation of decoration and crafts worthy of a Portuguese house long lost to its customs. That's why I was so amazed to have found this place. I'd love to come back!
