Waterfront vacation rentals in Douro River

Carlos very kindly collected us from the bus station which he didn't have to do, so I appreciate that. He showed us around the town on the way to the apartment and gave us recommendations. I really appreciate it. The weather wasn't good but nobody can do anything about that. Great host and beautiful apartment.

Such an amazing home. The entire apartment is a work of art. Stunning design with a beautiful view. Easily accessible with parking (awesome experience with the car elevator). Great location. Beautiful walk to city center along the Douro River or west to the ocean. Grocery store and restaurants just a few minutes walk away. Thank you Miguel and Daniela for an incredible stay!

Our stay was wonderful! Pedro was incredibly helpful and attentive throughout. Even though we happened to be there during a nationwide power outage, both he and the neighbors were kind and supportive, which made a big difference. Pedro arranged for us to be picked up from the airport and later taken to the bus station by a private driver, Bruno, who was not only a great driver but also very kind and professional. Pedro stayed in touch throughout our stay and was always available whenever we needed anything. The only downside of our stay was the shower—it didn’t have a handheld showerhead, and it was mounted quite high, so it was difficult to avoid getting your hair wet even if you didn’t want to. Thank you for everything!

Maria and José were very welcoming and incredibly kind. They were very responsive to any questions before and during our stay. The location of the listing is ideal if you're looking to be by the sea. We'll most certainly be back!

Friendly host and nice apartment. Great location and the view of Porto is magnificent!

Thanks, Cristina for hosting us in your beautiful apartment. Wished we could stay longer.

Amazing stay. Over than our expectation. Clean and quite with amazing sea view. Will recommend to our friends.

This AirB&B is perfectly located, as you can see from the pictures it overlooks the Douro River and the square below. The unit feels very homey when you walk in and having the elevator was an added bonus. The streets in Portugal are steep in places and generally cobblestone, so keep that in mind when picking your shoe and luggage choices. The main bedroom has two single beds that can be pushed together, right outside that room is a small loveseat that has a pullout bed, and the couch in the living room has a pullout as well. We visited during Easter holiday weekend, so we quickly found out that sleeping in the living room was not advisable as there isn't much sound barrier from the square, esp. since one widow doesn't have glass - just wooden shutters. Luckily, we only stayed two nights, so we made it work. Overall, the unit was great and we'd definitely stay there again.

Thanks for Bruno He made us comfortable right away. Great places to visit the very quiet house. Thank you for everything

The little house is so sweet and kind of special. The garden is awesome and perfect for kids. Unfortunately, we didn’t know the pool season starts not until June. So we and our child enjoyed the beautiful garden. José is very friendly and helpful in every situation. Also there is a bread delivery every morning, that’s amazing. We can definitely recommend that place for people who love nature and quiet.

Very pleasantly surprised by Pedro's accommodation. Really equipped with all the comforts and luxuries. The bathroom gives a hotel experience. Our children loved the little touches. The accommodation is in a quiet place in the middle of the city center. Ideal so close to the amenities and the sea. Communication with Pedro and Susana is pleasant and fast. In short, a huge recommendation!

Wonderful accommodation that was stylishly furnished. The location was incredible, with views of the river!

A very quiet, rustic and rural setting. Sooooooo peaceful. Fantastic place to escape the city, get some rest and reconnect with nature. The outdoor, wood-heated bath was great, although it did seem a little decadent for just one person. Ideal for a couple. There is a river and Diogo (who is very friendly and very helpful) said he has a canoe. Although it was still quite cool in the mornings (early April), there is a wood-burner and an AC unit that also heats. The driveway is do-able but more for adventurous drivers. The village (Macieira da Maia) is very authentic and it is only about 10-15 min to the beach. Vila do Conde has a beautiful old-town. Many great beaches along the coast. Braga is only about 40 min, Oporto, about 20-30 min by car.

Fantastic place, so very well equipped and great location. We loved it here and would love to stay again. We had a problem with the boiler when we arrived and Marta was quick To get it working again. We would definitely recommend a stay here.

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.

The truth is that we have not been lucky over time , which we focus more on gastronomic tourism. Both that municipality and the nearby ones , they have very good places to eat rich and cheap. And from the house nothing bad to say , everything was perfect. Thank you for everything.

Our stay was great! All as described, very cozy apartment and close to everything! Elisabeth & Eduardo are very kind and ready to help with any questions! Certainly one day we will come back! I highly recommend! Thank you!

We had a wonderful week in Felipes apartment. As host, Filipe was the most helpful we have ever had. Local tips, helpfulness and service - and a nice sence of humour. The apartment were big, and the terrasse is a wonder with it's stunning view. We have already booked our next stay at Filipes; actually we did, whilst we were sitting i the apartment:-)

Thanks to Daniel and Élisabeth for their warm welcome. We felt great in this apartment, ideally located in a lovely neighborhood. Everything was clean, and the bed was comfy. We look forward to staying 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 felt very comfortable in the apartment. It is very tastefully decorated and we didn't miss anything there. There was, among other things, collected information about everything you could have had for questions. Very attentive and proactive. Ana is a very warm and attentive host. Thank you!

María Jesús and her husband have been lovely, their house is very cozy and practical,there is everything, we loved it. We only had a little bit of sun to enjoy the terrace, which is very top. Thank you for everything, we look forward to coming back. A hug

Excellent apartment, with a great location. Everything was as described and in perfect condition. Very comfortable parking. From the door you have a walk to O Grove which is a luxurious view of the Ría. Totally recommended. Let's repeat

We've been there four nights. The apartment has everything, especially the garage, which is very good and essential to spend the day outside and have the peace of mind of parking at home. The fantastic area on the seafront, five minutes from the bridge that takes us to the Isla de la Roja on one side and on the other to the port area and the small urban beach. All this on foot; and the street behind and adjacent, quiet but with shops and restaurants. Fantastic for visiting the entire area of O Grove and its beaches and within a 15km radius, Sanxenxo, Portonovo, La Lanzada... In short, an apartment that matches its host and location, a 10! Thanks Juan
