Holiday rentals with a washing machine and dryer in Arouca

Regina’s place is better than the photos! As soon as we walked up the stairs, we were very happy with the space, the beautiful view and the large comfy bed. On top of that, she was very easy to communicate with. The location couldn’t be better!

Isa and Hugo’s place is fantastic. Very responsive hosts. It’s a bit of a walk to Porto, but such a peaceful walk along the river with great views. We loved staying in Gaia and can’t wait to return.

The apartment and the location or the view and the amenities were great. However, the truth is that a lot of hype is being built up. The host can't do that, but a completely new neighborhood is being built and you can hear it from the balcony from Monday to Saturday until 7 pm. In the apartment, you hardly notice it. Therefore, 5 stars with a reservation from us.

If I were to own a place in Porto this is the one I would want! Centrally located, within a short walk to all the major sights, it is on the top two floors on a corner with a terrace on both sides, great views in both directions, sun all day and as much privacy as you could hope for in the middle of a city. The classical building is beautifully restored. The apartment has superb minimalist detailing of the modern insertions: en suites, bathroom, kitchen and stair. It is excellent thermally. In mid-July the cool evenings balanced the warm days and with one bedroom window ajar at night we did not need the air-conditioning even on the upper living level. However you might want the well sealed external doors and windows closed for early morning garbage collections, and possibly for the street performers below during the afternoon and early evening but mostly we enjoyed the music and liveliness. It is expensive but worth it for the quality, especially if you need the second bedroom.

We loved our stay at Claudia’s! The views were excellent. The amenities were perfect, and it was very walkable! The hill to the apartment was a little steep, but doable and well worth the walk so beautiful! We were traveling with only backpacks so that helped getting big suitcases up the hill might be a challenge for some. Thank you, Claudia for having such a beautiful home for us to stay in.

Our stay in Sonia’s apartment was absolute bliss, I wish I could award more than 5 stars. The views were memorable, it was cathartic sitting on the verandah watching the river, especially at sunset. Everything in the apartment was of the highest standard, an exceptional Airbnb. Without hesitation I would thoroughly recommend.

Incredible location & everything we needed for a 3 day weekend visit

Large ultramodern flat. Great views. Good location.

Loved our stay at the Airbnb, it was very peaceful and quiet. Whenever, we went into the city, it was always refreshing to come back to serenity given the bustling nature of the city. The location is about a 16 mins ride to the center and 12 mins to the beach area (use bolt, it’s cheaper in Porto). Hugo was so accommodating and hospitable, we are so grateful as he made our trip better!. Upon arrival at the Airbnb, he had been waiting over 3 hours for us because there was a delay at security in the airport due to being short-staffed. He drove us to the super-market nearby, Continente, to buy groceries and gave us local recommendations one of which was Magina’s which was about a 10 mins walk from the Airbnb. We tried it and we quite liked it, mixed opinions on certain items, the steak burger was good. The Airbnb was clean, tidy and just as described with condiments. Each room had its own air-con, a plus for the bathrooms given how clean they were. Will highly recommend this Airbnb!

Our stay went perfectly. The house is conveniently located close to the beach. Very pleasant stay and Ruca takes care of it. I would recommend it in a second.

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.

Amazing property and view. We had a terrific time. The property worked great for our group. Best sunset! Marco and his crew were extremely responsive. Driving in the Douro Valley is not for the faint of heart. We had a ball!

It seems impossible to write something new about Maria and her wonderful place at the Douro River that has not been already commented and praised by previous guests. The 5-star review rating for Casa do Rio is very well earned: it is a piece of heaven, tucked away in the Douro Valley and Maria - and not to forget her husband, Jose (who does not get enough praise in other reviews) - are exceptional hosts. We stayed for 3 weeks, with a number of our friends coming to visit us for shorter stays. Maria accommodate all of our changing check-in and check-out needs without a glitch. We enjoyed taking advantage of the many activities and entertainment options - including massages by Hugo (a master of his craft) that the location provides. One thing to be aware of: There is no shopping option and limited restaurant choices available in walking distance, hence a car is almost a necessity for a longer stay.

On our trip to Portugal, the Douro Valley was the highlight of the trip from the storybook views to the spread of freshly picked cherries, homemade preserves and wine awaiting our arrival to the cleanliness and comforts of a beautiful home perched high up on the vineyard terraced hills. The game room was an incredible surprise - there are seven eighties arcade games along with a ping pong table, a foosball table and an infinity game with over 150 board games built into the table. The hospitality was second to none. Gabrella, the property manager, was one step ahead of us ensuring that we had everything we needed to make our stays one of the most memorable. Sephi, the owner, is one of the most generous people we have ever met. His passion for region and willingness to offer his time to you is amazing. We spent one morning touring his winery, learning the old way of making wine and enjoying the fruits of his labor – an extraordinary experience not a just another Air BnB.

The location is really fantastic, although you can't go to sleep before midnight on weekends when the weather is nice. The hustle and bustle on the promenade sometimes goes on until the early hours of the morning.

Maria greeted us and had cheese and cold beverages and a few other amenities in the fridge , we were able to get some great information she was very friendly and helpful . The views were fantastic exactly like the photo’s . Went to the Espinho market on Monday it was huge great deals and something for everyone was easy to get there . Plenty of walkways all along the ocean you can walk for miles . The train station is very close that you can take to Porto just FYI if you do take the train to Sao Bento Porto which is the downtown you have to change to Train 2 at the main station. This area is easy to get around and parking was close and free. Would love to come back to this area to explore some more .

Ricardo has been responsive since the original booking months ago. The apartment was very clean, beds were comfortable, apartment was quiet. He met us there to give the instructions in person and was quick to respond for any needs. This place is highly recommended!

Great location and quiet. You have a beautiful view along the river and everything is very close and within walking distance. Host is very friendly and responsive!

a really great place to stay, the design is well considered with window shutters that block any noise and air con that works quietly. we had a great stay.

We loved it from the moment we walked in. It was exactly as it was described and my 15 year old daughter wanted to "stay forever" as soon as she saw it. Perfectly located and just plan fun inside and out. Christoph made it all easy, responded immediately, and made everything all around easy and fun. Highly recommend it.

Rodrigo's apartment was absolutely perfect for our stay! I visited Porto for a business trip with my husband and one of my consultants. The apartment was large, beautiful, light filled, and had lots of space for us to spread out comfortably. We each had our own bathroom, the bedrooms were nicely sized, the AC worked great, the beds were comfortable, and everything was super clean! The apartment is in the Gaia neighborhood, which is quiet, peaceful and residential with walkable cafes and services. When we wanted to visit downtown Porto we would drive in or Uber - it is approximately a 10 minute ride. We had a rental car to drive to meetings daily and parking near the apartment was free and easy to find. Rodrigo allowed us to check in early and was prompt, kind and always helpful. The building and apartment are keyless entry and the whole process around the stay was seamless. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it highly!

Hello André, Thank you for everything. The apartment is very good, it has a very spacious terrace, although the views are not very good you can only see four rolls. Very good detail to leave all apps and games installed on TV, they were very helpful!. another detail to note are the good local buns and desserts, very rich. On the other hand there was no good night or daytime environment, whom I want to cheat (well some Darth Vader out there). Another thing to improve is the modernization of the front door. Overall, chilling, chilling in the miling.

A magnificent apartment in the modern house, with super nice decor. Very stylishly decorated with Portuguese charm! Everything top and clean! Best location, 1 minute to beach, kiosk, bakery and several restaurants with cheap but great food, where even police officers go out for dinner during their break! To the train station 10 minutes, to Porto about 35 minutes. To Lidl also only about 10 minutes. "Quiet" location but in the middle of the locals, the fishermen provide the rest of the authentic flair! We will be back!

Thanks for having us.
