Condo vacation rentals in Vila Nova de Gaia

What a beautiful apartment to stay in the wonderful city of Porto. We couldn’t have asked for a more central location and the choice of outstanding restaurants just on the doorstep was fantastic. Everything we needed for our stay was in the apartment. Sitting on the balcony in the evening enjoying the view was a perfect end to each day.

Lois is a spontaneous guy who makes every effort to have you have a nice time. Thank you Lois we enjoyed it!

The apartment was exactly as described and was a perfect home base to walk around and explore Porto

This apartment was perfect. It was in a great, central location in Porto with many restaurants and lots to do around it. The apartment was also extremely clean and had great amenities.

Thank you so much for allowing us to stay here - the space was beautiful and clean, and only a 15/20 minute walk from everything so was the perfect location, Nuno was very helpful and provided lots of information and clear instructions etc. We had an amazing time in Porto, would 100% visit again and stay in Nino's Airbnb again!!

Excellent, David at all times with everything . Thank you!!! 🙂

Rodrigo was a very attentive host. Suggested sights to visit and great restaurants. We did have an issue with no hot water Wednesday night and contacted Rodrigo. After to trying to reset the heater, and no luck he had a service technician along with himself at the unit at 5pm the next day. The technician could not repair the hot water heater and said he had to order a new board, needless to say he was unable to get the part before our checkout on Saturday. The issue was not Rodrigo’s fault as we know these things happen, however no hot water for 3days is a major inconvenience. Rodrigo was very apologetic and offered us a “fair” compensation for our inconvenience. I assume it will be processed through Airbnb. Our host Rodrigo was an attentive, friendly and a nice person. His home was extremely comfortable for 3 adults and would definitely recommend it.

Liu- Qi's place is situated in the main area of Cedofieta, a vibrant area with lots of nice cafés and restaurants, the area has a nice relaxed atmosphere and it feels safe. You are within walking distance to the main tourist areas of Porto, so no need for the metro. The apartment is lovely and has lots of natural light. it is also very quite considering it is situated in a busy area.There is everything you need to cook your own meals, and there is a good supermarket just along the street. The communication from Liu- Qi' was excellent. When using the metro from the airport, you can choose between 2 metro stations, Lepo and Trindade, both are around 15 mins walk to the apartment. When using the metro I recommend buying the adente card, you can get these from the travel shop at the airport, the staff were very helpful, and will advise you, I think it cost us €2.80 each from the airport, plus 60 cents for the card. Yes I highly recommend Liu-Qi's place.

Pedro's place was perfect for the 2 of us for our stay in Porto! Walking distance or a short Uber ride takes you to all the beautiful places this amazing city had to offer! We have never been to Portugal before and absolutly love it so far. Pedro communicated wonderfully with us before and during our stay and was allways quick to respond. Loved the little outside sitting area and the condo was super clean and supplied everything we needed for a comfotable stay. The bed was comfortable too! Would stay here again & again! Mahalo from Hawaii, Pedro!

Loved this apartment! Fern and Nuno were really nice. A must stay if you have kids, plenty of board games and legos. Also one of the few places in EU with a dryer, and 2 (yes 2) dishwashers, a mother’s dream come true. 5 stars all around

Very bright apartment just on the edge of the core of the downtown! Beautiful and fun living room, overall great stay!

Impeccable heat insulation, you will appreciate it on cold windy days. It is a renovated building just a few minutes walk from the Metro, a couple of streets away from the busy Rua de Santa Catarina, thus convenient stores, restaurants and historical sights are near by. The flat has everything you might need to stay with a family of four. Very recommended.

Clean accommodation. The place is not such a highlight but ok for a stopover. In fact, you can eat fish very well and at fair prices. Opposite the apartment there is a small shop with very tasty sandwiches.

Great stay and really light living/dining area

We really loved the place. Very clean and all the ammenities as mentioned.

Wonderfull host!!!! She was amazing!! The place was perfect!!! She took the time to explain all the attraction around us. She was accommodating and very helpfull. We love it!!!! Thank you!!!!

We had a lovely stay! Air b n b’s are really great for family travel, but I miss the luxury of a fabulous hotel- this duplex was the best of both worlds. Calm, tranquil, really comfortable beds. We would have happily stayed for longer. The hosts are friendly and on hand if you need anything.

The house is very well prepared, clean and pleasant. The terrace and pool are shared with other tourist apartments and it is very well equipped.

Great apartment, well furnished, decorated and clean; good areas, wonderful amenities (view, swimming pool, garage, bicycles, sofa blankets, kitchen and toilet, ...). The host was very friendly and always ready to help. I recommend it!!!

A beautiful apartment with absolutely everything you could need for a family holiday! Natacha’s place is spotlessly clean, lots of space and so many little extras it really felt like a home from home. The views of the sea and the sunset from the balcony were amazing! The pool was huge and clean and the surrounding area peaceful but close enough to Porto and Gaia by bike or a quick Uber ride. There is a boardwalk and cycle path just across the road that goes all the way down the beach to Porto. There is a supermarket nearby and some lovely beach bars and restaurants along the front. Natacha was a perfect host - friendly and very responsive and helpful with lots of ideas and suggestions for our stay. Our teenage girls loved the surf lessons that Natacha suggested and we had lots to do and lots of sights to see. Thank you Natacha for the perfect stay. We recommend 100% and would definitely stay again!

We have never experienced such a well-maintained, clean and well-equipped apartment. It corresponds 100% to the photos. There is a large underground parking lot. The landlord Manuel took care of things proactively and asked several times if everything was okay. The location is right on the main beach of Esmoriz, separated only by the waterfront road. However, it should be noted that at the end of August, a fair takes place right in front of the house with corresponding volume in the afternoon and evening.

We (a family of two parents and two children) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Aquamarine. The apartment had a real "wow" factor from the moment we stepped inside — beautifully styled, thoughtfully designed, and boasting a view plus the landscaped garden. This space left an impression and it provided the perfect setting for family time after our days exploring Porto. The photos do not do justice to how welcoming and comfortable the place feels in person. The Lovely Memories Lda Team ensured we had everything we needed for our stay. A lot of thought has gone into the finishing touches — from high-quality details like USB sockets by the nightstands and generous wardrobe space to the cleverly designed lounge curtains that close with a simple pull. The beds were comfortable, the water pressure for the shower was perfect and we all felt well-rested and ready for our Porto adventures!

It was a real pleasure to stay with Daniel for a long 4-day weekend. Daniel is really a lovely person and he did everything he could to make our trip enjoyable: he recommended restaurants, a beach, a bike rental, a ceramic workshop, he explained to us how to reach the airport by metro… always available and super nice. He organizes tours outside Porto as well. The apartment, very clean, is super conveniently located, close to small bars and restaurants, bus and metro. Small remarks but without consequences on the quality of the place: The pool is not private but is accessible to several apartments. The accommodation is better suited for a couple because the living room bed is moderately comfortable.

Joao was a great host! Made us feel very welcome. The Apartment is in a great location and easy to find. There is a great river walk just outside the door. The underground parking is very convenient and safe. The apartment was very clean and well appointed. A great stay overall! I would not hesitate to stay here again.
