Holiday rentals with an EV charger in Arouca

What can we say.. We spent a glorious, relaxed week here at the end of August, a truly special place a beautifully renovated original stone house with high ceilings and original features. Paul was a generous, friendly and knowledgeable host, and the views are spectacular. Apartment 3 was a good size for our family of 5 (kids 17, 14, 11) comfy beds, en suites for each bedroom and a stunning balcony. The pool was an extra treat, beautiful, and again with panoramic views across the valley. Oh, and the WiFi was speedy too. Brace yourself for the drive, it gets easier and it’s 100% worth it! Would happily and heartily recommend ❤️

Everything was great ! Host responsive to all needs and suggestions. Bedrooms are really good sizes, the shared spaces are large. Amazing balcony and views ! Amazing hot tub ! Highly recommend, and would certainly return. Note: currently there is a lot of building work happening in the area, but it didn’t distract from the amazing holiday one bit.

What can I say - from start to finish we had a great time at Aqua Villa Madalena. Our purpose for coming here was to attend Rally Portugal. The apartment was central to where we needed to go to see the stages of the Rally. Apart from this, the apartment was exceptional - so clean. Sonia as a host was so responsive and always available when needed ( which I hope wasn't too often for her!) Our children really enjoyed the pool, the place was so peaceful and quiet! An all-round fantastic holiday! Thank you so much Sonia and family!!! Hopefully we will visit again another time!

Location fantastic very private, parking on site very close to everything.

Claudia was already waiting for us upon arrival. She was very friendly and made several suggestions regarding activities and restaurants. She also gave us a bottle of wine. Very friendly and the accommodation was clean and spacious. Value for money! Would definitly recommend staying here!

I've spent 5 days in Vanessa's room. Everything was clean and WiFi was working fine. There is a well equipped kitchen. Thanks a lot for hosting me!

The apartment was very nice. The rooms were large and the beds were very nice. The kitchen was also very large. The bathrooms equipped with everything. To put something negative, it is that the rain and the wind were heard a lot, but the fault was the bad weather.

Definately in the center of the action, with a view. as others reviewed, it is a hilly city, and you will be climbing up hill the access this property. This is teue for most properties in the core as well. Also, as others mentioned, the parking is only for the brave. But most AirBnbs dont have parking in Porto, so if you are coming by car, this is a great find.

The house is fantastic, with plenty of space inside, as well as outside. Spectacular pool, my daughters loved it. Orchard with a variety of fruit trees, from which we can harvest and enjoy. Weekly bed linen and towel changes, with the kindness of Dona Cristina (the lady who takes care of the house) We'll definitely be back. Paulo Ferreira

We had a fantastic stay at the villa. Highlight was the unbelievable views from the pool and terrace. The villa and garden with pool & basketball/football court is completely private, perfect for small groups. There are some great local restaurants and river beaches, and Porto centre is only a short drive away. Be warned - there are lots of steep and narrow roads! João was a brilliant host - greeting us on arrival, and easy to reach throughout. Would definitely recommend a stay here!

To say this place was exceptional is an understatement. The apartment is AMAZING. Spotless, beautiful lemon farm, beautiful layout. Jorge was incredible. He gave us great local restaurants/wine vineyards and even differed help accommodating reservations for vineyards. Would absolutely stay again!

We booked this accommodation for an EVJF and we were charmed by the environment and the beauty of this accommodation! We recommend it 100%, the host is very nice and the price remains affordable.

We've had an amazing 4 days here. It's just a perfect location and we felt at home here. The pool, the view, the garden with grill - everything was just perfect. The only 'negative' things, if you can call them negative, is that the bathroom is on a different floor than the bedrooms, and that the parking is a bit tight for a large car. We can fully recommend this place to anyone looking for a private getaway in a beautiful location.

What a lovely stay! We immediately had to take our own photos to show the family. The property is very well presented, and we were provided with fresh fruit and eggs on arrival. We also had access to the private garden (more like a forest), which led down to the river. An unexpected surprise! We recommend to anyone looking at this listing!

Spacious, comfortable house with beautiful outdoor space, very pleasant shaded terrace. Good location for visiting Porto and the Douro Valley. "Méandro" restaurant next door, cheap, excellent with splendid views of the Douro. Graça and her husband are welcoming and responsive. The only downside is the presence of barking dogs++ (kennel?). Graça has nothing to do with it, but noise nuisance to report.

Our stay was excellent! Elsa was over the top in every way! We had a gift of wine and custard tarts when we got there, Elsa arranged a reservation at an amazing restaurant and she responded quickly to any inquiry. Would definitely come back to this beautiful sanctuary.
