Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Gondomar

We had an excellent time at this countryside house. The location was perfect to visit Porto, the beach and the countryside. The owners are very friendly and helpful. We felt very welcome. We would absolutely recommend this house!

Jorge's place has character. The deck and the backyard were both nice although we didn't really use them. It's a nice space with room to relax. Our favorite meal on our 3 week trip was their recommendation of Casa Viuva Wine Bar so their advice when given, it is spot on. Only complaint I would have is the hot water runs out fairly quickly in the shower, but it's an older house and I love long showers. You will get about 5 minutes. Other than that it's a wonderful town and good central location if you have a car for Porto or the Douro Valley

The house is wonderful, the wonderful view, the pool , boat ride. The silence to rest and the kindness of the people of this paradise was too much. Thank you so much for these wonderful rest days in this piece of paradise. I hope to come back !

Our stay exceeded our expectations in every sense! From the moment we arrived, our hostess Manuela was incredibly welcoming and attentive. She took the time to show us around the property, and even after having left, always promptly replied our messages. Even though the photos on the Airbnb page are nice, the whole place was actually much more beautiful, private and surrounded by nature than we expected. At moments we could hear nothing but birds singing. We were also delighted to see the many art installations scattered throughout the property, which made the experience very charming and unique. Overall, we can say very confidently that the place is a true gem, only about 20-30 minutes from Porto downtown, perfect for nature and art lovers. We're definitely planning to go back for a longer stay.

The stay was very pleasant,the space was spectacular as shown in the photos and the host at all times attentive to our questions,the truth will be back in summer because we are enchanted. Thank you

We were a family of 10 and we really enjoyed the house, gardens and the amazing fruits and vegetables given to us by Ruy caring hands!

This villa exceeded our expectations, and was well appointed to accommodate our needs. We were two families totally 4 adults and 4 kids, and the size was perfect. Outdoor amenities were great, including pool, bathhouse, picnic and barbecue area. The property was very private, and there was a Marina Bar next door that has great food (the burger is one of the best I've had). The only two downsides, which didn't impact my rating was that the wifi didn't work well (I had my own hotspot, and you might want to disconnect) and the beds are firm (seems common in Portugal, because we had a very similar experience at another place). We were looking for a place that was central to northern Portugal, and this worked out great (less then 30 mins to Porto). Being right on the Duro river was very relaxing. We were also able to experience folk dancing (rancho) next door at the marina one night, which was a great cultural experience.

Clear recommendation. We had a great time staying at the place. It was very clean and superbly equipped. The pictures also show the accommodation very well. The hostess was super friendly and gave us all the important information and also some tips.

Very comfortable and well furnished apartment for 4 people. There was absolutely everything needed. The private garage was a very nice extra.

The location was so nice, and it was so convenient to enter with a password. The host's response came quickly, and the view that was slightly visible out the window was so nice.

The place is absolutely stunning! We were very lucky to be able to stay in this apartment! The location is ideal and close to the center, the cleanliness is impeccable and the services of very high quality! Thank you very much!

Everything in good order :) beautifully renovated building :) - Parking access a bit exciting but doable :)

Abi and Regina are exceptional hosts who made our stay memorable. We especially enjoyed the tour of the animation museum by Abi which was fascinating The property is very lovely, the flower and vegetable gardens are incredible and the whole ambience is very relaxing. A perfect place to stay for several days. We thoroughly recommend staying here and look forward to returning

We had a lovely stay at the apartment. Very spacious and well equipped. We would stay here again.

There were three of us sharing the property and it was so nice that I almost wanted to move in permanently! Nice terrace and very tasteful decor in quiet area. It was a short taxi ride from the airport, good proximity to the grocery store and a very nice pastry shop. Great choice if you like to stay a little secluded from the most visited tourist trails and discover different areas. We walked almost everywhere with the exception of some cheap taxi rides. 10/10 residents :)

Great welcome with Porto and fruit juice, great location 50m from the metro and bus, accommodation a little outdated but perfectly in line with the photos so no surprise, only small downside the mezzanine staircase is very steep. Thank you Carlos for the welcome in very good French and for the good advice on restaurants, things to do.

Great place to stay was clean and relaxing and the pool was great for the family. The host was very helpful and friendly, informed us of local restaurants and events in the area including a medieval festival that was taking place whilst we were there. Communication was easy, was more than happy to help. Thank you again!

Absolutely wonderful home and stay here. The house was clean and cupboards were stocked with spices and essentials. We were left some homemade jam and coffee pods which were a huge plus. The beds were comfortable and the views of the valley are exceptional. We will be returning.

We spent a lovely nine days at Antonio’s place.

Renovated in 2015, the house has three bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms. It was a great place to stay for a week to view Porto and surroundings. Reception was extremely friendly, very warm. The house features a beautiful terrace, a (unheated) infinity pool with beautiful views over the valley and Duoro and features a (clean!) Weber BBQ. Lots of privacy to enjoy with your company outside. 15-20 Mbps internet sufficient to prepare you digitally for a day trip. Despite the fact that the fire alarm system was not completely stable, the owner has done everything possible to improve this during our stay. For a stay just outside Porto with peace and space, this is a great location.

Good place to explore Porto with Bolt or a rented car.

I can’t thank Manu enough for her friendliness, hospitality and kindness. She is one of the nicest hosts I have been fortunate to meet. She helped us throughout our stay and was always available for advice and support. The accommodation itself is wonderfully spacious, secure and surrounded by beautiful gardens. It was a good base to explore Porto and surrounding areas, I would highly recommend. Many thanks 😊.

We stayed for four days at the residence of fransisco with a group of five young males. In advance of our arrival the contact with both fransisco and his wife went so smooth, they almost responded immediately. When we arrived at the residence we got an more than warm welcome, we were greeted by fransisco and his wife who gave us a tour and told us everything we wanted to know about the house and garden. Our stay was perfect, the pool was amazing and the temperature of the water was good, we played a lot of soccer in the garden or on the football pitch which could get a little warm when barefoot. Had a small inconvenience but we could solve this with the host almost immediately. In conclusion we had an excellent stay and loved the residence and would definitely recommend fransisco as a host and the residence as well!

Perfect accommodation. Claire was very nice and and helpful. Thank you we will come back !
