Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Vila Nova de Gaia

An ideal place, a nice house with space, to have a holiday with a family with larger children: something for everyone! By train you are easily in lively Porto, always a Bolt driver nearby to take you to nice places such as the beach on the Douro (Arnelas) or the somewhat more adventurous places like the Arouca Bridge, as well as enjoy beautiful sunsets, delicious coffees and waves brave just 1 dune away. Antonio received us very well and always responded very quickly

Very cozy apartment in an old building with a good outdoor space. Rui was an excellent host and very responsive to any request, including getting us a new kettle! He was friendly and offered us lots of information about the city and neighbourhood. Pet-friendly was a huge bonus. The house is smaller than it seems in the photos but it is liveable and comfortable. There is a small gas heater for those chilly or damp nights. The two bedrooms was a huge plus. Kitchen had everything we needed as did the bathroom. The back garden was a nice place to relax on a sunny day. The neighbourhood is very walkable and close to all sorts of things like the metro, buses, cafes, supermarkets, parks, and restaurants. It doesn't take long to walk anywhere, or to take a bus into centro. The street is small and a very large car may have a problem parking there, but we didn't. We liked that the neighbourhood isn't too busy and is mostly residential. We would definitely choose this place again.

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.

We are absolutely impressed with the warmth and hospitality of Jorge and Susana! We stayed for 2 weeks and felt completely comfortable! It was spotlessly clean and cozy furnished and lovingly decorated. The bed was so comfy! Jorge and Susana were always available and even left us a few treats on arrival and during the stay. It was also great that we had a separate in the courtyard completely to ourselves. For our two dogs totally great, as they could lie in the sun all day when we were working without having to be afraid that they could run away. In 5 minutes you can walk directly to the huge sandy beach. It was fantastic and we also quickly took the neighbors to heart. Sincere thanks for the great time! We will be back!

100% recommended, when I return to Porto, I will definitely return. A magnificent house and a quiet neighborhood where you can rest after seeing the city. Everything was very clean and tidy, and the house was magnificently furnished.

This is a beautiful apartment. Each bedroom was of a good size, and the place was lovely and clean when we arrived. There is a wonderful garden area to relax in, which was a real bonus. It is just over 10 minutes walk to the nearest metro station, so easy to get into town, and a supermarket nearby meant it was easy to get all the food/drink you needed for the stay. We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

Antonio's space is very cute, super functional and accessible. We found it impeccable, Antonio and Eva's attention was unparalleled. We really feel welcome and supported by both at all times. Great hosts!

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 stay was amazing, Patricia was all the time pending and answered at the moment almost. As for the casita it was very nice apart from that it had stoves in which you did not go cold, nothing that was appreciated that towards cold and bad weather. It had everything you needed and everything was very clean. We went with two puppies and they had where to run in the garden. We will definitely repeat

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.

We were very well received. José is attentive and responds very quickly. The place was clean and spacious for 11 people 🙂

Our stay was excellent! Elsa was over the top in every way! We had a gift of wine and custard tarts when we got there, Elsa arranged a reservation at an amazing restaurant and she responded quickly to any inquiry. Would definitely come back to this beautiful sanctuary.

Fantastic stay. Nuno went out of his way to make us feel welcome and make sure we had a great time in Porto. The houses and garden are beautiful. We loved chilling round the lovely pool. Bolt taxis were really cheap to get around in Porto and Nuno gave us some great recommendations.

House matches the listing in every way. Very welcoming, helpful, attentive and responsive host (broken dishwasher that was replaced with a new one within the day). Very flexible for check-in and checkout. We had a pleasant stay. Thanks Manuel!

There are so many positive things about this house. Very close to the train, shops, grocery, the beach, and the town has everything you'd need. The yard is very well fenced for dogs. The location is quiet while being very central. Got the best sleep with the black out shutters, beds and linens were comfy. Luis was a great host, very responsive and we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this place.

With a small group of friends, we had 4 beautiful days near Porto. The setting in which the villa is located is breathtaking, only a few hectometers from the mouth of the Douro! The house is beautiful and very clean and tastefully arranged. The kitchen is very well supplied with utensils and appliances which is perfect. The pool is very nice to refresh after a day of sightseeing.

Well-located apartment for walking tours of Porto. Recommended. The pluses: private car parking and clean apartment

Had a fantastic time at this apartment. It was spacious for two people with a lovely balcony and a big stretch of garden. Beautifully decorated too and a really great location. The only downside was having to pay a ‘late check-in’ fee of €10 for arriving just past 9pm because our flight was delayed. Although this was outlined on the booking, we still felt that this was really unnecessary. Nobody wants a delayed flight and this cannot be helped. We presume this was because of inconvenience to the host who met us upon arrival, perhaps to get passport information, however this could have been arranged the next day. It is a small apartment and things were easily located and accessed without being shown around. The host also seemed to be in a rush to leave. There is a key safe which is used for checkout, therefore the key could have been left there for check-in. This isn’t a complaint but just some advice on how things could be improved! Thank you.

We were warmly welcomed by the hostess and introduced to the local restaurants and shops. The apartment was clean and everything important was available. We will be happy to come back!

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.

Great location to move around the city!

Beautiful functional apartment, well decorated and close to amenities (Bolheo market, shopping street, historic center). We had a great time in Porto, we'll be back without hesitation!

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.

We felt right at home. It was perfect, had everything we needed and peaceful. Definitely recommend staying here!
