Vila Nova de Gaia Vacation Rentals

"Joaquim and his wife welcomed us into their home with a detailed introduction to the bungalow, showing us how everything worked. I was amazed to see they’d put out a bottle of their own homemade port and had taken the time to mark up a map of Porto with recommendations. One of our children is disabled and we asked for a mattress to be put on the floor - Joaquim and his wife were unfazed by this and quickly arranged everything so that it was perfect. The house is very clean and the kitchen...

"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."

"Nous avons eu un très bonne accueil de la part du propriétaire. C'est vraiment bien situé à quelques minutes de la plage en voiture et aussi proche de porto. Merci encore pour l'accueil de la maman du propriétaire qui était toujours disponible si on avait besoin de quelque chose."

"Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans ce bel appartement de Vila Nova de Gaia. Dès que l'on pénétre dans le séjour, on est subjugué par la vue sur le vieux Porto. L'appartement est à 10 minutes à pied du Pont Luis I. Les bus sont à 2 minutes. Le logement est très bien équipé."

"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...

"There were several negatives to the enjoyment of our visit, including:1. There was no one there on May 25 to let us into the property. After a lot of time-wasting we managed to contact "Ribeiro", who in turn called a neighbor with a key to the property.2. The house and its contents were very old and urgently need modernizing. Specifically: - there were too few power points to charge all of our cel phones, tablets and laptops; - the bathroom and cupboard doors in the main suite do not close; -...

"This house had everything you need and more to enjoy an exceptional stay! Loved it! And the hosts were so nice to all of us, easy to communicate with and even left us beautiful gifts! I'm definitely going there again next time I'm in Porto!"
