Vacation rentals with lake access in Portugal

My family and I had an excellent stay. It was very relaxing to be able to walk out the door directly onto the beach and Monika’s communication was first class before during and after the stay. Highly recommend for those looking for a beach getaway.

A casa é muito bem localizada, para quem busca uma estadia tranquila e em uma vizinhança silenciosa. Perfeito para caminhadas, passeios de bicicleta ou esportes aquáticos. A casa é muito bem cuidada e tem tudo o que é preciso para uma ótima estadia. Voltaremos com certeza.

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.

We chose to stay at Constantino’s stunning home as our last stop before leaving the beautiful island, and couldn’t have asked for a better base to end our time in Madeira. Constantino provided many local recs and was super responsive. The home was clean with everything we needed. Can’t say enough! Thank you!

Estadia perfeita! O espaço estava limpo e bem equipado. O anfitrião foi muito preciso na localização e no chekin e super atencioso. Recomendo o espaço e se possível voltarei novamente.

We had a wonderful stay! The house is exactly as shown in the photos — very clean, comfortable. One of the highlights was the amazing jacuzzi — it was spotless, easy to use, and the perfect way to relax after a day of exploring. The location is ideal, close to everything we needed, yet peaceful enough to unwind. The host was incredibly attentive and responded quickly to all our questions. We truly felt at home! We definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a special and relaxing stay.

Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable. Tout était parfait, la maison, le calme… Sara et Kelly sont à l’écoute, prévenantes et de bons conseils. Nous recommandons ce logement sans problème. Encore merci pour leur gentillesse.

Hemos podido disfrutar de unos días maravillosos en la casa de Judite en Lagoa de Óbidos. La casa tiene una ubicación ideal, a unos pocos minutos a pie de la playa y de la laguna, y con servicios básicos de alimentación y restauración en la zona. El entorno es muy tranquilo, con unas vistas maravillosas desde la casa y el jardín. La casa de Judite es extremadamente acogedora y está perfectamente equipada para una estancia de lo más agradable. Nuestros tres hijos han disfrutado enormemente del lugar y esperamos algún día tener la ocasión de volver.

Fantastic little flat walking distance from the old town of Lagos. Very clean and friendly host! Lovely to look onto the harbour and be walking distance from such great places. Would easily return. The flat had everything needed and was bigger than the pictures.

A beautiful apartment in stunning Olhau! We really enjoyed our time in this ultra comfortable apartment close to the lovely old town in Olhau. There is nothing this property is lacking! We will be back at the first opportunity!

Great place to stay. Very affordable and close to town centre. Apartment was modern clean and tidy, very enjoyable stay. Great hosts, very responsive and helpful. Would 100% stay again!

Zeer ruim appartement met groot balkon (+/- 30M2). 's morgens lekker zon op balkon tot ongeveer 14.00 uur. Fijne grote woonkamer. Alle ruimtes hebben toegang tot het balkon. Goed uitgeruste keuken, badkamer. Ruime slaapkamer met voldoende kastruimte. Alles op loopafstand. Cafés, restaurants op de marina. Centrum Lagos op 10 á 15 min. lopen. Een zeer fijn appartement voor 2 volwassenen. Een aanrader.

Dieses Appartement können wir voll und ganz empfehlen. Es ist wirklich so beeindruckend wie auf den Bildern und die Vermieter sehr hilfreich, freundlich. Wir sind sehr dankbar für diesen Ort und würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

One of my best stays in Portugal. The accommodation is very cute, clean and has everything one needs for a short stay in Alvor/Portimao. The host has been extraordinary - very helpful, very fast communication and reaction. Pedro has been very friendly and as an extra, he has organized a great airport transport. The location is anazing, too. Definitely recommend this place.

Lydia est une propriétaire très attentionnée et à l'écoute. L'arrivée au logement s'est très bien déroulée, avec des consignes simples et claires. Le logement est parfait, tout est nickel, comme dans un hôtel, et dans un endroit très calme. Le cadre est exceptionnel, avec le parcours de golf à l'arrière du logement ! un grand merci aussi à Lydia qui a solutionné les dégâts suite au passage de la tempête Marthino, afin que l'on puisse profiter de la terrasse au plus vite. Je recommande sans hésitation cette location pour vos vacances et pour pouvoir en profiter pleinement !!! Merci à Lydia et son équipe

Very nice apartment outside of Viana, in a very nice area next to the beach. We are a family of 5 (two small children and a baby) and enjoyed the spacious apartment. Although we didn't meet the host in person, the communication went smoothly. Can definitely recommend Pedro's place!

Muy buen alojamiento. Fernando siempre atento y amable. Muy recomendable!!

Ganz besonderer Ort direkt am Douro. Wunderschöne Terrasse mit Pool, Liegen und Garten mit Obstbäumen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

Rui, your host, was brilliant and as effervescent as a freshly poured flute of fine French champagne - so much so that one almost needs to lie down and rest after having a chat. He loves his tree house and is extremely proud of his construction. One of the nights of our stay they had the fiercest storm in nearly 20 years - 100 kph winds, slashing rain and intense lighting and thunder yet in the morning both we and the tree house was still in the tree - can't say much about sleep but what an experience. It is, indeed, a magical experience. If you are coming by rental car, and a stickler for detail, be aware that you must drive over gravel roads for a few kms, which for most rental cars is not covered in the contract but if you drive in a mature and rationale matter who will ever know. Like how many people can say that they actually resided in a tree house. Just do it.

This is a lovely cottage with a private walled garden. There's a good variety plants - fresh mint, banana trees, various flowers, a lovely place to relax after a busy day exploring. There is a gas barbeque and a large garden table for dinner. The hot tub is a real bonus! The cottage is tastefully decorated with comfortable beds. We appreciated the fruit basket, bread and jam. We recommend booking the hot springs in Evora and having a massage. Google inacquaveritas We highly recommend Carlos place - one not to be missed!

This is a great space in a real out-of-the-way part of Portugal. Tired of big city tourism? Try this property. Tiny villages dot the hills and you get an old world sense of Portugal here. The pool is the real star of the property here (as are Eric's three dogs, one of which lounged with us each morning) as it overlooks he view of the river. We did use the kayaks as well. It is hard to get to them down a very steep hill with ladders and a bit of minor repelling. Not for those with a bad knee or hip. Which gets me to, accessing the apartments, particularly the lower unit, is tricky. Steep, slanting and uneven steps that can be a little slippery. Perhaps not for the elderly. Hint for improvement would be to upgrade the furnishings and kitchenware. The knives couldn't cut an orange.

Cute little AirBnb in the center of a small quiet town. It is convenient if you want to spend time near Sete Cidades and Ponta da Ferraria. Otherwise, it is a bit out of the way from other interesting location as it is located pretty far to the West of the island. The location is shared with another AirBnB. We didn't use the pool as the weather was quite cool. Also, it doesn't feel that private since the place is right across the street from a church and small parking lot. The AirBnB has everything you need for cooking. The parking is off street so it feels secure.

Hum... what can I say... I think the best is you experience by yourself. This place is amazing!! THE place to go if you like to be in a peaceful, stress free, beautiful and remarkable Airbnb in Douro. Don't think twice, just go. Thank you so much Maria for sharing your place with us and giving us the chance to enjoy it! cheers

Hard not to fall in love with this place. Everything one could dream of. It’s a very relaxed environment with two very cool humans, whom which have built a little town of their own if you don’t say! We were lucky enough to have a little tour of the place, hear about how it all started. Went horseback riding with Chris which was incredo. Swam in the pond, sat in the sauna but mostly just enjoyed the view. And hung out with the doggos. Thank you. Will definitely come again when I return to Portugal.
