Villa vacation rentals in Vila das Aves

Já é a segunda vez que ficamos aqui e ambas as vezes tudo estava super limpo e organizado. Sítio super pacífico e ótimo para descansar e estar com os outros.

A group of 6 had a wonderful 2 night stay, the photo's and description of the property and its surrounds are very accurate. Communication prior & during was excellent & restaurant recommendations were very helpful. The attention to detail & history of the property takes you back in time & makes for a memorable stay. Thank you Marta & Daniel for sharing your beautiful farmhouse 10/10 we would definitely recommend.

We loved this house and the location and all the effort that was given from Pedro’s team to make us welcome. Thanks for the cake, the HUGE fruit bowl (that we nearly managed to consume), and the sweets, water etc. you thought of everything. The house isn’t in a tourist location but that is its charm, it’s so peaceful with a bar and supermarket in easy reach, perfect. You get some great recommendations , our favourites were Barzin, a ten minute walk, but the best fish restaurant has to be Oburaco in Esposende, the good was amazing. There is also S2 locally, it’s very good. We visited, Braga, Porto, Barcelos(Thursday is huge market day), Esposende. The house is located perfectly and we did not hire cars, instead used Uber or the local taxi company. We were a party of 8 and the house was large enough to allow peace in the garden, whilst others watched TV, or some used the gym, and others used the bikes. Note the bikes are great but there can be a forceful wind to fight!

Manu est une hôtesse très accueillante, avec plein de bons conseils sur les visites (caves sur le Douro....) et les lieux incontournables. A recommander sans hésitation. Le logement proposé est conforme à la description et dispose de beaucoup d'espace (très bien équipé et très propre)

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.

We had a wonderful time in Portugal, and Antonio's place was a perfect base for our day trips. The house was lovely with lots of space and beautiful decor. The kitchen was well equipped and easy to cook in. The gardens had lots to explore, and fruit trees and a vegetable patch. Our children loved the house and we all had lots to do, including a playroom with loads of toys, dozens of boardgames, and just really nice spots to sit and read. Antonio was super friendly, very easily contactable, very quick to respond, and gave us lots of nice suggestions. We've had an amazing time at his amazing family home!

super maison. le quartier est très agréable. Viana est une super ville. la maison est très bien pensée et très agréable à vivre en famille.

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans la maison de Manuel. Nous sommes restés 8 jours avec ma famille. Mes enfants étant très jeunes (1 an et 2 ans), nous avons profité longuement de la maison! Elle est adaptée aux enfants. Attention tout de même à la piscine autour de laquelle il n’y a pas protection pour les petits. Il faut donc ouvrir l’œil. Mais à part cela tout est très bien. La vue depuis la maison est superbe. Manuel est très réactif et flexible. Une femme de ménage passe presque quotidiennement pour nous aider à l’entretien de la maison. Merci Manuel et peut être à bientôt ! Nicolas

Casa localizada em local calmo ideal para umas férias em grupo ou em família. Todos os quartos são suites, o que é um ponto positivo pela privacidade a nível de casa de banho. As camas são super confortáveis. A cozinha está muito bem equipada e tem tudo o que precisa a nível de eletrodomésticos (torradeira, máquina de café (delta), microondas, máquina de lavar a louça) bem como de louça para um grupo de 10 pessoas. Toda a decoração é muito bonita e pensada. O espaço exterior é amplo e bem arranjado, o espaço destinado à churrasqueira é impecável. É sem dúvida um local a visitar de novo!

Die Villa ist wirklich fantastisch und entspricht definitiv der Beschreibung und den Fotos. Die Sonnenuntergänge und der Leuchtturm, die man vom Balkon aus jeden Abend bestaunen konnte, sind ein Traum. Für Gäste, die sich eine ruhige Umgebung wünschen, ist es perfekt. Ein Auto wird definitiv benötigt und kann sicher in der Garage abgestellt werden. Die Ausstattung der gesamten Unterkunft ist hervorragend. Es gibt sogar zwei zusätzliche Gästebäder. Zudem war die Kommunikation mit Portugal Active immer schnell und freundlich. Uns hat es an nichts gefehlt.

Habitation impeccable, bon emplacement, 3min du tram et 30min a pied du centre de Porto, arrivée facile. Jardinet agréable pour prendre les petits déjeuner et apéro. Logements parfait pour un grand groupe. Literie confortable.

To everyone who’s thinking of renting this house; if you’re having doubts, this is the sign to go for it. I’m speaking on behalf of my family and myself. We were a group of 8 who had the lovely opportunity to spend New Year’s Eve in this beautiful space. To start with, pictures don’t do justice to the gem you find when you pass through the entrance door. The house seems like it blends or comes out of the mountain itself. Maintaining original external features of what it seemed an old house that was carefully blended into the newer structure of the main house. When you enter you have the feeling of being at home and from any of the panoramic windows to the west side of the house you get the breathtaking views of the Douro river They’ve thought of all details and making it a perfectly functional house to not have to leave for as long as you plan to stay there. Having the breakfast service is also another extra service we were really happy to have thank you for the lovely experience.

A great place for my group of seven. It was beautiful, clean, and had enough space for all of us. Walkable location and right around the corner from a market. Hosts were responsive and able to quickly resolve a key situation that we ran into.

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!

What an EXTRAORDINARY accommodation Casa Marmelo was for our group of 8 adults when visiting the Douro valley !!! Host Kate was super to work -- right from our initial contact for information through our date of departure. What an excellent WELCOME GUIDE she provided before our arrival - with valuable tips and suggestions for activities and dining throughout the area. Housekeeper Helene too could not have been more kind, charming, and helpful. What delicious breakfasts she made for us each morning. The entire property was kept so clean and tidy. What a memorable time we all had -- we all hope to be back!

Marisa’s property was absolutely perfect for our family (10 adults). The individual apartments were lovely, clean and comfortable and gave everyone their own personal space while also providing a common space for us to gather. We were greeted promptly on our arrival with a tour and clear instructions. (And a nice welcome basket of goodies!) The location was also great, giving us access to restaurants and attractions. Very walkable to most places. Highly recommend this property!

Floriane and Christophe's property was the perfect setting for our extended family group. We were a party of 10 spanning three generations and the split of individual apartments ensured we didn't get in each other's way. The air-conditioned apartments were tastefully decorated, well-equipped and extremely comfortable. All fixtures and fittings were new and each apartment was spotlessly clean on arrival. The large pool is surrounded by a beautifully established garden with towering cactuses and a winding wisteria. The outside dining area accommodated everyone and came complete with two BBQs. A large supermarket is located within a short drive, as is a train station with direct links to central Porto. The city and the airport are also accessible by car within 40 minutes. The inland town of Amarante is also well worth a visit. In summary, Floriane and Christophe were excellent hosts with a delightful property. We hope to return soon.

Estuvimos en Semana Santa un grupo de amigos. Estuvo en todo momento pendiente y disponible para lo que necesitáramos, la casa muy bonita y acogedora; la finca espectacular, una pena la lluvia por no poder usar la piscina, con anfitriones así da gusto viajar, 100% recomendable. Deseando volver Gracias Ricardo por todo!

A casa é super espaçosa e bem cuidada, óptima para grupos grandes. O jardim e a area da piscina são areas super agradáveis. A anfitriã foi muito prestável e sempre disponível quando necessário. A casa tem tudo o que precisamos, o ambiente é tranquilo e adoramos que a casa esteja tão bem equipada com matrecos, mesa de ping pong, zona de churrasco e até boias para a piscina. Recomendo a estadia!

Ha sido un placer pasar unos días en el alojamiento de Ralf. Es una casa maravillosa en un entorno único!! Tuvimos la mala suerte de que durante todos nuestros días llovió mucho pero gracias a las comodidades de la casa pudimos pasarlo fantásticamente y disfrutar de cada espacio. Pero lo mejor sin duda no fue la casa, ni el entorno fue Ana y Ralf que estuvieron pendientes en todo momento de nosotros. Gracias por ello💖💖

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.

Alojamiento para disfrutarlo a tope, cada rincón muy cuidado y con muchos detalles agradables. Situado a las afueras de Amarante, en una zona muy tranquila. Zona de barbacoa y piscina inmejorables, ideal para pasar unos días en familia. La casa no es muy grande, pero está bien aprovechada y no le falta de nada. Por otro lado, la atención de Paulo es digna de elogio, preocupándose en cada momento de nuestro bienestar, y contando con la ayuda de unos maravillosos vecinos que nos hicieron la estancia muy amena y agradable. Sin duda la calidad/precio es más que recomendable, repetiriamos con los ojos cerrados ahora que conocemos a Paulo y su entorno. Y otra cosa, vaya descubrimiento el Vino Verde de la zona, ¡qué rico! 🤤😃 Muchas gracias por todo, volveremos.

Uma casa acolhedora com uma paz do outro mundo! O sr. Manuel é muito atencioso, adorámos tudo!

Maison moderne jolie spacieuse et très confortable. Encore mieux que sur les photos !
