Costa Verde Vacation Rentals

"This was a lovely old charming house in a great location—lots of space and a nice garden. One of the bedrooms and bathrooms is located on the basement/garden level and has some sewage-like odor, so sleeping in that space did not work out for us. The house was otherwise very convenient but hot since no AC was available. Unfortunately, construction in the neighborhood was happening from 7 am to 6 pm on both sides of the house, and the noise levels (73bD) were stressful. Communication was ok;...

"My wife & I and two other couples had a great stay @ this home. Communication with the owner, Fernando, was very smooth. He met us when we arrived and provided a thorough overview of the home along with providing an electronic document full of information. The home was very clean coupled with having the necessary utensils and appliances for cooking. Also loved the great shower pressure! Home is located an easy walk to the city center and very close to a metro station. Highly recommend this...

"The house had lots of spaces, which was nice for our group of 4. Everything was clean, well stocked and convenient. The rooms look fresher in the photos- we are suggesting an update in bedding would be a nice improvement as they were worn."

"We loved staying at Rui's place. We were able to walk downtown every day and enjoy the hustle and bustle but then return to the apartment located in a very quiet neighbourhood. Being just a few minutes walk from a good sized grocery store was an extra bonus. Thanks for everything Rui!"

"José was so generous! He met us and showed us around the neighborhood, bought us expressos and pastries, and shared a bit of the beautiful historic place that has been in his family for a long time. We felt the heart of Porto there at José's charming and artful spot!"

"It was a pleasure to stay a week here. Well located, supermarkets are easy to get with the car. House is very good, the kitchen had everything you needed, we would definitely stay in this home again."

"This place in Gaia is great because we love to walk everywhere. We are a family of 5 with older teens. It is very close to the cables car entrance, which is great at sunset, and close to wonderful restaurants. Douro-Velho was so good that we went there twice for dinner in the short 3 nights that we stayed in Gaia. We are already planning our next trip to Portugal because we really needed more time. And we can’t wait to see it again soon. This is a great place to visit and spend a least a week."

"There's much to like about The Yellow House, with one major exception. The bed is quite comfortable, and while smallish, the quarters are comfortable as well. Wifi worked very well, and the patio is a huge plus, for relaxing in the sun (I smoke the occasional cigar, so it was very welcome. It's also very quiet except for the occasional- as in not very often- barking of the two dogs next door. They're pretty cool pooches, so it was not a problem. The site is two blocks from the Cockburn Port...

"Also close to a market and a quiet neighborhood."

"Amazing 3 bedroom/2 full bath house with all the basics covered. Very clean, thanks to the housekeeping terrific service. The place is steps away from the metro, intercity trains, and an easy walk to really anywhere in Gaia and Porto (via Dom Luis I bridge, upper or lower crossing). Train station has elevators for improved accessibility (although the house itself has stairs to enter from the street to the upper deck). Staying on the Gaia side is optimal because you get to see the beautiful...

"This is a good property close to a lovely Atlantic beach that is good for surfing and body boarding. The property is secluded and there is a lovely pool that you share with one other property. The kitchen is sufficient for self catering and there is a supermarket close by. The location is good for exploring North Portugal, including the Lima Valley and the Miho boarder towns. The hosts are friendly and very helpful. I would recommend this property."

"This apartment is located within a short walk of almost everything we wanted to do! It is very well stocked with nice amenities and we would stay again!"

"This location had so much room, it was awesome and 3 full baths. I would wakeup early and walk just 3 minute to a local cafe for coffee and pastel de nata. It has easy access to public transportation and major stores walking distance away. Loved it."

"Férias em família para descanso, local muito sossegado, em ambiente rural. Apenas alguns reparos: - falta de máquina de lavar louça; - poucos utensílios na cozinha; - falta de ar condicionado;"

"The house suited our group of 4 couples very well. We appreciated having our own bathrooms. We loved picking oranges and lemons in the backyard. (Middle April) Picking oranges took some climbing, however. Also, be prepared to climb stairs in the house. Artur the host was very quick to respond to any Communication I had with him."

"Location was good. Within walking distance of the sites and shops. Nice accommodations. Enjoyed the delicious coffee that was provided. Had a parking garage close by."

"Great place a little hard to find if driving your own car. Parking is cheaper across the bridge in Gaia where the wineries are. Walking distance to good food and sight seeing"

"Amazing hotel. Super clean ammenites. Super friendly staff. I would highly recommend this hotel!!!! I would definitely come back again!!!"
