Beachfront holiday rentals in Douro River

É a segunda vez que passamos na casa da Maria e foi tão bom como da última! Ficamos sempre com vontade de voltar, e voltaremos com certeza. Para quem procura um refúgio tranquilo com conforto este é o local perfeito!

Our stay in Joāo's apartment was wonderful. The apartment is very clean and nicely furnished and there is nothing missing. There is a supermarket just around the corner and the beach is only a stone's throw away. The town and the surrounding villages offer a lot to discover and explore. Check in and check out were very straightforward, even without personal contact. We can definitely recommend this accommodation and would love to come back!

We had a great time staying in O Grove! Great location with close access to everything you need. Pablo was great at communicating beforehand and even when we accidentally locked ourselves out was super speedy to get someone else to let us in. The apartment was great for our needs. It had everything we needed and we really loved using the rooftop that had a great 360 view! We had a good experience and definitely recommend staying here! Overall would recommend

Casa perfectamente equipada y decorada con mucho gusto en pleno corazón de las Rías Baixas. Zona residencial y tranquila. Las fotografías no hacen justicia a las vistas desde el balcón que son una maravilla. Rosario es una excelente anfitriona, atenta y amable, nos dió multitud de indicaciones y recomendaciones para que nos faltase de nada.

Margo is an excellent host and extremely attentive to our needs. The home was immaculate, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Nos quedamos encantados con el alojamiento. Muy muy limpio (hacía tiempo que no estábamos en un airbnb tan cuidado en este aspecto), buena ubicación, instrucciones claras… repetiríamos sin duda.

All I can say is wow! We spent 11 days staying at Adriano’s apartment and it felt like home! I don’t think I’ve ever stayed in such a well equipped Air BnB. If you could think of it, Adriano had it. In the bathroom there was shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, hair dryer and hair straighteners. In the kitchen there was every utensil you could think of and more, I think you could cook a full Sunday roast dinner and have every pan and dish required! We are a family of four, with children aged 5 and 7. They made the most of the swimming pool during our stay and the beach. The pool is cool but refreshing. The sea was like ice but we made good games of jumping the waves and splashing one another. The beach is less than a five minute walk from the apartment and is a must during your stay, even if it’s just to watch the surfers fight the waves. It’s a very peaceful beach! Adriano is a great host and very helpful. We will be looking to stay again if we come back to the area!

El apartamento estaba muy limpio, era muy cómodo y tenia todo lo necesario. Además tenia unos detalles muy de agradecer.

We really enjoyed our stay at Tue’s house. It is a great size with good bedrooms and plenty of living space. Ideal for our family of 7. The house is well equipped with plenty to do - swimming pool, bikes, pool table, large garden etc. The local area is very quiet with a good beach and some nice local walks. The weather wasn’t great while we were there, which was unfortunate and meant we couldn’t make full use of the pool etc. but it was great on the sunny days. It could perhaps be improved with some soft covers for the sun beds and maybe another sun umbrella. All in all though we had a great stay.

We had such a fantastic family holiday. The kids loved it- aged 6 and 8 and so did the adults! Lovely apartment, amazing views, loved the pool and beach access. Lovely beaches and restaurants. And bus stop right outside for exploring other towns and villages. Monica was great- friendly, helpful and there if we had a question but also very discreet. Thank you!!

Ruhe am Wasser (am Ende der Welt) Die Unterkunft war erst nach telefonischer Rückfrage zu finden, obwohl es nur wenige Gebäude im Ort hat. Dieser liegt SEHR abgeschieden, wer länger bleiben will, sollte gut einkaufen. Es hatte lediglich zwei Cafes und ein (geschlossenes) Restaurant dort. Der nächste Laden ist etwa eine 1/2 Stunde Autofahrt entfernt. Eine Anreise mit dem Zug wäre jedoch ebenfalls möglich. Es liegt jedoch traumhaft schön direkt am Fluss und der Verkehr an Schiffen, Zügen und Autos lässt sich fast zählen. Besonders hat mir die Umgebung mit den vielen Blumen, der Zugang zum Wasser und die vielen Sitz- und Liegemöglichkeiten im Freien gefallen, sowohl am Schatten, als auch an der Sonne. Wer eine Bootstour machen will, braucht nicht wegzufahren, der Gastgeber macht ebenfalls solche. Ebenfalls kann man bei ihm Boote mieten, Tipps zum Fischen gab es dazu. Die Unterkunft ist ihren Preis wert, ist gut ausgestattet und Parkplätze am Schatten hat es auch. Besten Dank an alle

A beautiful apartment, well equipped, lovely views. The island has some amazing beaches. Really enjoyed our stay there. Thankyou!

Una estancia realmente agradable. El apartamento es tal y como se describe, muy nuevo y limpio, con una decoración que te invita a la relajación. Se encuentra en una zona tranquila, ni un ruido, y se llega a la zona de ocio, antigua, puerto en 10 minutos andando, un paseo. La piscina está genial, y te permite relajarte si no te apetece acercarte a la playa. Edy es muy amable y atenta, nos recomendó con gran acierto algunos comercios locales por los cuales le habíamos consultado. Nos dio todas las facilidades para el acceso y salida del apartamento. Totalmente recomendable. Si podemos, volveremos!

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Haus ist einfach aber zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Der Garten und der Pool sind großartig. Bernardo war immer gut zu erreichen und hat sich um alles bestens gekümmert.

Beautiful home and looked after us really well! Great list of local recommendations and a lovely daily breakfast top up too!

Ila de Arousa is a beautiful place. lots of easy walks. good supermarkets. Kitchen well appointed to make our first home cooked meals of the trip. view from dining room surpassing any restaurant. would recommend this location for a restful break.

il nostro volo è partito con quasi 2 ore di ritardo, ma Fernando è stato così gentile da accoglierci di persona ugualmente, ben oltre l'orario di check-in; la casa è arredata con cura, spaziosa ed accogliente, ha un bellissimo spazio esterno ed è vicinissima alla spiaggia! la zona è tranquilla, e silenziosa; se dovessimo tornare a Porto, ci piacerebbe alloggiare di nuovo qui

Unser Aufenthalt in diesem wunderbaren Apartment war einfach traumhaft! Der atemberaubende Blick aufs Meer hat jeden Tag zu etwas ganz Besonderem gemacht. Maria und Carlo waren aussergewöhnlich herzliche Gastgeber – sie haben uns nicht nur herzlich empfangen, sondern auch die Umgebung gezeigt und uns mit vielen wertvollen Empfehlungen versorgt. Dank ihrer Tipps konnten wir die Region in vollen Zügen geniessen. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt und freuen uns schon auf unseren nächsten Aufenthalt. Absolut empfehlenswert!

Desde el primer momento, quedamos impresionados por las vistas al mar, que son realmente espectaculares, pero lo que marcó la diferencia fue el nivel de detalle y mimo con el que está preparado el apartamento. No se trata solo de que esté limpio, que lo está —y mucho—, sino de que se nota que cada rincón ha sido cuidado con cariño y dedicación. La sensación al entrar es de armonía, orden y confort. Todo está impecable: desde la ropa de cama perfectamente colocada hasta los utensilios de cocina organizados con criterio y gusto. No faltaba absolutamente nada. Cada espacio transmite calidez y está pensado para que te sientas como en casa (o mejor). El ambiente es acogedor, luminoso y lleno de pequeños detalles que muestran el buen gusto de la anfitriona. Y hablando de la anfitriona, Marisa ha sido excepcional. Atenta, amable, cercana. Se nota que pone el corazón en lo que hace y eso se refleja en cada aspecto de la estancia. Un alojamiento de 10. Repetiremos seguro.

Nous avons passé un merveilleux moment dans ce petit coin de paradis. Petite maisonnette indépendante au fond d’un très joli parc, au calme et sans aucun vis à vis. La plage est accessible par un accès direct à quelques dizaines de mètres.

Great location, delicious terrace, clean and comfortable apartment with all we needed to have a wonderful stay. Even the bed and pillows were wonderful! We had been en Carril before and this has been the best place so far. The garage is close by in a very good building just crossing the street and was secure, comfortable and easy to use. The hostess has been gracious, very kind and helpful all the way. We will go back, for sure!

My daughter and I had a wonderful time. The apartment was spacious, clean, and well-equipped with everything we needed. Despite the heat (over 30 degrees), it remained cool and comfortable inside. Its location was excellent - close to the beach, restaurants, and a grocery shop - and it was just a quick 10–15 minute Uber ride to downtown Porto. Carolina was exceptionally friendly and checked in to ensure we were comfortable throughout our stay. She is definitely one of the best hosts I’ve had so far!

Wunderschönes Apartment gleich neben dem wunderschönen Strand. Moderne Ausstattung und alles vorhanden, um sich wie zuhause zu fühlen. Wir wurden persönlich empfangen und die Kommunikation war schnell und hilfreich. Danke vielmals 😊

We had a wonderful stay! The apartment was beautifully furnished, very well equipped, and located in a peaceful spot right by the sea. Perfect for relaxing. We felt completely at home and would love to come back anytime!
