Villa vacation rentals in Arcozelo

Villa is really amazing and definitely fits the description and photos. The sunsets and the lighthouse, which you could marvel at every night from the balcony, are a dream. It's perfect for guests who want a quiet environment. A car is definitely needed and can be safely parked in the garage. The amenities of the entire place are excellent. There are even two extra guest bathrooms. In addition, communication with Portugal Active was always quick and friendly. We lacked nothing.

The house is large and extremely clean , comfortable rooms with good bedding, very well-equipped kitchens. The garden is very pleasant and well maintained. We did not enjoy the barbecue area, but the space looked great. The location is ideal in a quiet residential area, but Braga is really not far away, and it's easy to get there quickly. As well as Porto which is about 45 minutes away. Finally, Cidália is very friendly, super responsive and really concerned about the well-being of guests: a great host!

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 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)

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.

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!

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!

Casa located in a quiet place ideal for a group or family vacation. All rooms are suites, which is a bright spot for bathroom privacy. The beds are super comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped and has everything you need at the level of appliances (toaster, coffee machine (delta), microwave, dishwasher) as well as dishwasher for a group of 10 people. The whole decoration is very beautiful and thought out. Outside spaces are large and well arranged, the space for the barbecue is impeccable. It is undoubtedly a place to visit again!

Fantastic space, was a great stay with 5 adults and a baby. Rita was so accommodating and easy to deal with. The place is large with a lovely living area. Wish we had booked for longer than 4 nights! Highly recommend.

Paulos place is even better in real life, the pictures do not do it justice. The view is insane. Extremely friendly and responsive.

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.

beautiful house. well equipped both on the bedding and on the dishes. we had a pleasant stay. the little plus is the presence of the supermarket 2 min walk. I highly recommend.

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!

I cannot say enough great things about this place - especially the location! In the heart of Porto on a street blocked off to traffic with endless cafes, restaurants and shops simply cannot be beat. We were a group of 18 visiting from the US, aging from 1 year old to 78 yrs old and it was so nice to be able to come and go and easily find each other in the neighborhood. Marisa was an exceptional host who was super quick to respond and arrange activities and airport rides upon request. If we ever come back to Porto with a large group, we will most definitely stay here!

I recommend it! It met expectations, very well equipped, clean and comfortable home. Outside a beautiful sea and mountain view, perfect for relaxing. Host always available and responds fast. 5*

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.

We were in Easter a group of friends. It was at all times pending and available for what we needed, the house is very nice and cozy; the spectacular estate, a pity the rain for not being able to use the pool, with hosts that way it is nice to travel, 100% recommended. Wishing to return Thank you Ricardo for everything!

It was a pleasure to spend a few days in Ralf's place. It's a wonderful house in a unique setting!! We had the bad luck that during all our days it rained a lot but thanks to the comforts of the house we were able to spend it fantastically and enjoy each space. But the best part was certainly not the house, nor was the environment Ana and Ralf who were aware of us at all times. Thank you for that💖💖

Great stay, I can only underline the rest of the positive feedback A very friendly and respectful family. I would definitely stay in the house again. Excellent communication with Porro, Aveiro, etc. If I recommend they update the photos of the house: there is a new TV in both the living room and in the main bedroom. The main bedroom mattress is awesome I traveled with a pet (a German shepherd) and everything was wonderful.

This is a wonderful house. The garden is full of fruit trees and has gorgeous mountain views. The infinity swimming pool is secluded and a delight. I will miss my breakfasts on the terrace as well as the barbecues in the evening. The house itself is super comfortable, the beds, the showers, the AC... It's very well kitted out with anything you could need, games, towels for the pool etc... It is one minute walk from a very pretty bridge over a small river and two minute walks from a cafe that also sells great food (the steak sandwiches are a must!). The location is perfect to visit the area, you can be on the motorway in three minutes to go to Porto, Galicia, the coast etc... The hosting is also perfect. Thank you very much for the bottle of champagne and the great recommendations from Marco. We are a family with three teenagers and we all adored our stay. Strong recommend.

great house. the neighborhood is very nice. Viana is a great town. the house is very well thought out and very pleasant to live with family.

Our stay went very well, Joao is very responsive and very friendly, he was able to respond to all our requests. The houses are pristine and very well laid out, the outdoor space is amazing, so nice 🌸🌳 The heated pool is a real plus that completes this gem ✨ We will be back!

Very welcoming and fantastic neighbors! Great!
