Two charming houses inside a beautifull garden.

LucieRating, 5 stars9 months ago
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.

Studio 77

HayleighRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Absolutely stunning apartment--the windows are so gorgeous. The kitchen is nicely equipped if you want to cook. Centrally located but away from the crowds--it's so nice to be by the Bolhão Mercado for picking up snacks/treats/food to cook. Recommend bringing ear plugs because the walls are a little thin and there are a lot of squawking birds throughout the night. (As someone who is used to city living, it's good to bring ear plugs....had no trouble sleeping with them in.)

Boavista charming patio house

MikhailRating, 5 stars3 months ago
One of the best apartment we have ever booked! Thanks to the fireplace, patio and overall coziness and convenience - everything is so well designed, so you really can feel like home and try to live like a local. The location was perfect for us, as we didn't want to live in the touristic center. Everything was easy to reach either by metro (10 mins walk to the station, and 10mins ride) or by Uber - 10mins to the ocean, 10-15mins to the center. The supermarket is next door, as well as the place with fresh croissants. Highly recommend Nuno's place to recharge and spend time like locals.

Porto RiverView apartment

MartynRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Good location close to Ponte Luis bridge. Can easily walk to all major places in the centre and metro runs close by. Pedro gave us a tour of the apartment and provide us recommendations for restaurants in the local area. Apartment is furnished to a high standard and everything you could need is available. There is a great view from the rear balcony. Some noise currently from building works but this didnt bother us as we were out during the day. Overall great location to explore Porto.

Marão Cottage with Private Garden

AgnesRating, 5 stars2 months ago
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.

Beach House (Plage/Beach) Aguda PRT

ThomasRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Bad weather didn't disturb my calm stay at Aguda's beach. Close to restaurants and the train station (Porto 20min), Aguda is a perfect spot for a rest, with the place right in front of the beach with fully functional facilities (including washing machine). Elisa was very reactive and attentive, which was greatly appreciated.

Daniel's house is in a fantastic location, just a short walk from Estação D. João II in Vila Nova de Gaia, making it extremely convenient for visiting Porto. Parking was not an issue, we easily left our car parked near the house and used the metro to explore the city. The house itself is spotless, very well maintained, and incredibly comfortable. Daniel is an exceptional host very attentive, helpful, and always quick to respond. Our stay was wonderful, and we highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

Alegria Rubi: Urban Oasis with Garden

JuliRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We couldn’t have asked for better hosts! Prior to arrival, Jorge and Sofia were readily available to answer any questions, then Jorge met us upon arrival with treats! He spent time showing us how to operate everything in the house, making sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Jorge also shared some history on the exquisite home that he and Sofia restored, which is truly a labor of love! The pictures do not do it justice-this is a gem. Jorge and Sofia also checked in on us during our stay and gave us additional suggestions of what to see and do. The area was perfect for transportation, local markets, shopping, cultural points of interest, safety, or just sitting in the backyard admiring the Camellias :) Thank you!

Garden House Downtown with Garage

JaneRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We enjoyed the stay a lot! Jorge took the time to show us around, show all the bells and whistles of the flat and the garden, gave many very useful recommendations about the city, things to do, where to show. That was great and we actually ended up using many of his tips. We felt very welcome, thank you! The flat is exactly as described, stylish and comfortable, clean, and the garden is actually much better than that. There is so much greenery and the fish are just enormous. All the amenities are working fine, we had no issues, the bed is comfortable.

Your guide to Porto

All About Porto

Famous for its sweet wine namesake, the city of Porto is a patchwork of cobbled streets, ornate churches, and historic buildings decorated with distinct blue and white tiles called azulejos. The magnificent São Bento railway station is a fine example of one such building, with more than 20,000 tiles adorning its walls. The Douro River runs through the heart of this port in northwestern Portugal, and you can stop off at the fish restaurants, perfume and ceramic shops, and lively bars lining its banks. Alongside the riverbank, you’ll find the UNESCO World Heritage site historic neighborhood of Ribeira, known for its narrow winding streets and colorful tiled houses. For a bird’s-eye view of proceedings, you can take the climb up to the manicured Jardins do Palácio de Cristal, where babbling fountains frame the sweeping panorama.

Across the water in Vila Nova da Gaia, you can visit the city’s historic cellars, which are still used to store and mature port the traditional way. Porto is the birthplace of the famous fortified dessert wine, so you can expect to see it everywhere — and there are cellars all over the city where you can sample white, rosé, and ruby red varieties.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Porto

Portugal experiences a mild oceanic climate, which makes vacation rentals in Porto popular all year round. In summer, expect warm days and balmy nights for walks by the river and dining outdoors. Make sure you bring sunscreen and a hat, as it can get very hot in the middle of the day. June 23 marks Festa de São João do Porto, when the city celebrates its patron saint by eating, drinking, and dancing, topped off with fireworks over the river from midnight.

September and October are pleasant months to visit, with warm days, the changing colors of the trees in local parks, and fewer people. In September, Porto celebrates Port Wine Day with festivities across the city and plenty of opportunities to sample the famous drink. March through May is also an enjoyable time, when the weather is warm and the magnolia trees in the Jardins do Palácio de Cristal are in bloom. Temperatures cool down in winter, but you’ll still enjoy mostly mild and dry days.


Top things to do in Porto

Mercado de Bolhão

Less than 15 minutes from the centrally located Porto Cathedral, you can explore the largest, most historic indoor market in the city. Enter through original 19th-century wrought-iron gates to find hundreds of stalls selling fruit and vegetables, fresh fish, and local cheeses. You’ll often see buskers playing traditional music outside, and look out for street food stalls selling bacalhau com natas — a baked salt cod dish that’s a Porto favorite.

Teleférico de Gaia Cable Car

Board the Teleférico de Gaia cable car to soak up stunning views of the Douro River. You’ll ride high above the city to the top of the hill by Porto’s iconic Luis I Bridge, which was designed by the architect who created the Eiffel Tower.

Clerigos Tower

One of the city’s most recognizable landmarks, Porto’s Torres do Clérigos sits at the summit of the historic Clérigos Church. Once you’ve climbed the 230 steps to the top of the bell tower, you’ll be rewarded with magnificent panoramic views of the city and the meandering river. Time your visit around the hourly chimes to complete the experience.
