Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Vila Nova de Gaia

Nick was a wonderful host, extremely responsive, and generous with little gifts. His local recommendations were spot on (we tried them all). There was a ton of space for our whole family to stay, and we felt really comfortable here. I would recommend it.

Wonderful host, beautiful house and location. Could not have asked for a better spot to relax!

The accommodation is ideal for families or large groups, the house is located in a pleasant environment with easy parking, a 15-minute drive from Porto. I would highlight the kitchen, which was very spacious, and we had a fantastic time in the office with its large table and large windows overlooking the forest. The sofa area of the living room was more austere and we didn't change everything. The only thing to keep in mind about the kitchen is that there is no dishwasher or washing machine. The bathrooms are all very good, one on the ground floor and 2 on the first floor, one of them en suite, so the only catch is that there is only 1 bathroom for the rest of the 3 bedrooms + those in the attic since they do not have a bathroom, although it has a small sink and a vanity. The best room is the one with the en-suite bathroom, the rest have bad mattresses, especially the 2 90cm mattresses. Finally, I'd like to highlight the very kind treatment of Mr. Arthur, who was an excellent host, always very willing to help make our stay perfect.

The accommodation is completely renovated, everything is brand new and clean, and Daniela is an excellent host. I recommend it.

Fantastic host, very friendly, fast responses, beautiful house, hot tub worked, mattresses and couches comfortable, very clean, washer and dryer worked appropriately, kitchen, bathrooms, fireplace and bar fully stocked. Not one complaint. Will stay here again in a heartbeat! Deserves a 10 rating.

José was spectacular, the house has a very nice clean space.

I had a great stay at Daniel’s home. The sun was hitting beautifully and the space was perfect for my one night stay. It was also very close to the airport, which I needed to be at by 430 a.m. would definitely stay again for longer!

The house is located by the sea (the beach is less than a 5-minute walk away) and overlooks a garden. We had a lovely stay there and were able to easily visit the surroundings (Gaia, Aveiro, Porto). Special mention for Hugo who is very available and provides good advice.

Comfortable apartment, clean, and had everything we needed

We thank Aderito for all his advice. We had a pleasant stay. We highly recommend it.

The apartment is very comfortable , perfect for those who go to rest , very close to the Exponor that is where we went .

Gorgeous very atmospheric apartment in a chic neighborhood! The living room is tastefully decorated, the house has a lot of vintage items. At the same time, absolutely everything is functional. Three fully equipped bathrooms, large volume of shower gel. Very well equipped kitchen. There is absolutely everything you need for cooking, pots, pans, all the necessary details, there is even a blender, a coffee machine and coffee capsules. The apartment is very spacious and bright. The living room and dining room overlook the avenue, literally one block from the House of Music, and all bedrooms overlook the yard, so it's comfortable and quiet to sleep. Very nice comfortable beds and pillows. Communication with Tiago was pleasant, he was very detailed and answered quickly to messages. Check in was perfect, we didn't wait a minute! Also, Tiago sent us a detailed guide with recommendations. I am grateful to Tiago for her hospitality and I am very happy that we chose his beautiful home. And I hope to come back again!

We have the family trip and it has been a pleasure. The penthouse is very spacious and comfortable, and close to everything interesting. The host is very friendly in their directions and recommendations. Everything to repeat.

Great host and fantastic apartment in a wonderful area

The apartment was clean, spacious, and well-decorated. Especially I loved the beach-facing lounge & balcony where I enjoyed the sunset and wave crashing sounds every day. Lovely surroundings such as walking trails, several restaurants and cafes, nearby supermarket(5mins by walk), and easy access to the city centre (20min by uber or bolt taxi). Our host Marcos was very kind and responsive. We had a truly amazing time in this place. I do hope we could come back to Porto and this place near future.

Everything was great! Perfect location and lots of character. The layout works well for two friends or a family. We really enjoyed our stay and everything was clean and well maintained. We definitely felt like we lucked out in choosing this place!

Great place to stay was clean and relaxing and the pool was great for the family. The host was very helpful and friendly, informed us of local restaurants and events in the area including a medieval festival that was taking place whilst we were there. Communication was easy, was more than happy to help. Thank you again!

We stayed for more than a week at Manuela's place and had a great time. Manuela and her son Daniel were very welcoming from the check-in till then end of the stay (thanks for the delicious port wine!). The house is better than the pictures - cozy living room, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and lovely garden ... with a hot tub! Porto old city is 20mins drive, Aveiro is 40mins and Douro Valley is around 1.20mins from the place. There is a lovely restaurant by the river around 500mts away. Steep down and uphill walk but amazing views and very good traditional Portugese food. Good to have own transport (you can park inside or on the street) but there is a bus stop just few feet away from the house (we didn't use it as we had our own car). Overall a lovely stay. Thanks Manuela and Daniel for hosting us!

Beautiful home in amazing location! Antonio’s place was incredible. More than enough space for family of 5 with really picturesque courtyards for enjoying the mild temperatures plus it was just across the street from the beach. The home was well-appointed, clean and had all we needed to make meals at home. It is a truly special place and Antonio was a wonderful, responsive host. We loved the restaurant he recommended. Can’t wait to come back again!

Elisa and Luís were unforgivable to make their stay in their home a great time for our whole family. The lawn was provided for a beach volley field that fit perfectly, which became the cherry on the cake.

Manu is a very welcoming host, with plenty of good tips on sightseeing (cellars on the Douro...) and must-see places. Recommended without hesitation. The proposed accommodation is as described and has plenty of space (very well equipped and very clean)

The Villa was clean, super spacious and equipped with everything you might need. Just a 2 min walk from the beach, with a bakery and some restaurants also close by. Everything worked out just perfect and we had no complaints and Clara responded to messages relatively quickly. We really enjoyed the Villa and our stay. The only issue was communicating with the person who we had to contact when we needed something once we stayed at the Villa, response to our questions was usually late.

The house was very lovely. Super clean and everything just like described. The view was beautiful. The city center is easy to reach by Uber. Clare was a lovely host. Very easy to reach and replied fast. She gave us a lot of great recommendations.

Daniel and Katrina are already good friends. They are good people, easy to communicate and very helpful. They were impeccable in welcoming my family into their home. I highly recommend them!
