Bed and breakfast vacation rentals in Vila Nova de Gaia

This place is like coming home in another country.

I have traveled to many cities, I have stayed in many hotels and inns; I have seen and felt that it is genuine attention but I have never bought attention as warm as that of Candida and Diago. I was amazed by the simple and beautiful decoration, and by how clean and tidy all the spaces were. I think Diago (the multifaceted manager) is a magician, he has a gift that God has given him and he has used that gift to serve the guests. If I ever go back to Espinho I will not hesitate to stay in this charming place. I loved every second I was here. Thank you for all the attention...

This Baroque-style mansion, which has a chapel dating back to 1618, is a real wonder. This is a family home, keeping its character and charm of yesteryear intact, where everyone can retreat peacefully under the trees or by the pool. Inês and her husband are always available and you will get good advice from them - you can discover in Marco de Canaveses an excellent little restaurant: the "Bodeguita do Bom Retiro" - but they will also let you live your life. Hosts will be able to shop, prepare meals in the kitchen, and feel at home with longtime friends. The house is surrounded by vines and hills. The breakfast with scrambled eggs and fruit is generous, the jams and lemonade are exquisite. From this large residence you can one day visit the Douro Valley and another the city of Guimarães, birthplace of Portugal, both classified as a Unesco World Heritage Site...

Loved everything about this place. Inês was a wonderful host, she was friendly and welcoming, ensuring our stay was comfortable from start to finish. The property is a beautiful oasis, perfect for a countryside retreat. I couldn’t recommend this place more (If I could give 6 stars, I would!)

Very beautiful space and architecture well integrated into the landscape. Be careful with the details and a very comfortable bed. All safety and disinfection equipment prepared and easy to access. The employees, Bruna and Isabel, very friendly and available, always attentive. Communication with Vânia also went very well and I appreciate your attention. Highly recommend!

Marta is a very kind and understanding host. I highly recommend her.

Great stay, wonderful house, excellent breakfast. Jose gave us some recommendations about restaurants and what to see in the region.

I had a very nice stay with Ines and her husband. Staying in her old house was something very special. The room is spacious and the bed was very comfortable. As shown in the photos, the pool and the large garden are a dream and particularly noteworthy are the great breakfast on the terrace with everything your heart desires as well as the warm hospitality of Ines and her husband. Thank you for that! I felt very welcome as a solo traveler. The whole area is beautiful and romantic, a stay there is definitely worth it!

We were on our way from Porto and spent three wonderful days with Ines and her husband. It was fantastically beautifully located, the rooms and the ambiance as from old times and Ines and her family rounded everything off with their warmth. Thanks so much 😊

Really enjoyed the hostel and would stay again. It was focused around the surfing in the morning which was great, Marco is a great teacher and you get plenty of time on the waves. Raquel is a lovely host and the food is excellent, there's a bit of a lack of local things to do and places to eat within walking distance but the nearest city isn't too far if you want to explore in the afternoons/evenings. Would totally reccomend the hostel to anyone wanting to learn how to surf, many thanks : )

What a wonderful and cozy place! I only stayed for one night but immediately felt at home thanks to Diogo and his mom, “Big Mama.” They are both such warm and friendly people, and Diogo went above and beyond to provide local recommendations, advice, and even walked me to a shop to print some papers I needed. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We really liked it, pity for time, the house is very cozy, furniture according to the style. Full and hourly breakfasts, value- perfect price. Very good host

This is one of the best Airbnbs we’ve stayed at. The house itself is tastefully designed, our suite is spacious, and there’s so much green space to lounge around. Even though we just have a suite, we get to share the large living space with another suite. There’s a comfortable working area as well as an upstairs play room, with musical instruments and a foosball table. Marie and Stephan took great care of us, always making sure we were comfortable. Marie prepared a beautiful breakfast every morning, with homemade French pastries, cakes, yogurt and juice. They truly made us feel welcomed — and you could tell it came from their heart.

A really lovely room just like the photos. The family were all very welcoming and helpful. They allowed us to check in early as the room was ready and looked after our bags on our last day .We had a fantastic meal one evening in their restaurant, not to be missed . The only down side was it’s a reasonable walk to the old town of Porto but if you don’t mind that it’s a lovely place to stay

Our stay at Marie's place was lovely. The house is surprisingly beautiful and very unique. The small pool ended up being more than big enough. Perfect for a refreshing dip. Everything is very neatly maintained. But above all, the food was phenomenal. Breakfast is huge and everything, really everything is homemade from Marie. We also ate there for 3 evenings. The dinner was also delicious and super cozy. Marie is a very friendly hostess with whom you can have a nice chat. Would highly recommend!

We had a great stay here. For location,its not far from the center only 25 mins walking away and we got access to different kind of bars,Cafes and shops. Or we could just easily to Bolt to drive us to anyplace from the house. The house is absolutely clean and looks so beautiful and stylish. The hosts of this house were so friendly and helpful and communite and responsive. We booked the Amor room and it has a bright space and excellent balcony. The breakfast included is a surprise every you started the day. Lovely garden,lovely house and absolutely lovely Porto city!

Spectacular house. Spacious and spacious. Perfect for a group of people. There is intimacy due to the individuality of their rooms with bathrooms. The house is super well decorated and clean.. Fully equipped. Tiago is a great host and worth knowing. He treated us excellently . Very friendly. I'm sure we'll repeat if we have the chance.
