Smoking friendly holiday rentals in Porto District

This a true home away from home, and made our vacation just that much better! At day’s end, we looked forward to retreating to this spotless apartment that clearly has received love and care by its owner. From its art to its book collection, its spacious bedrooms and beautiful sunroom and terrace, the apartment wants for nothing. Paula is super responsive and exceptionally considerate — even providing personalized walking maps for us! I have stayed in Airbnbs all over the world, and this — by far — was my favorite. Was even better than the description — I didn’t know that was possible. Thank you, Paula, for a wonderful and memorable stay! Can’t wait to come back!

Our family had a great time sipping drinks on the balcony with the gorgeous views of Porto! This is the perfect place for those that are looking for a more quiet place to stay, away from all the crowds. The snack platter upon arrival was such a lovely touch. Would absolutely stay again!

Nuno was very kind and communicative, and flexible when we arrived at the apartment slightly before our estimated arrival time. The apartment is charming and airy, and we enjoyed the view of the streets and people from the top floor. The location is great - just a few minutes walk from the train station. Although it's located in a busy area, we didn't hear any noise at night. You do need to walk up several flights of stairs to get to the apartment, so be prepared to get your steps in!

Very nice accommodation in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of the Dom Luis Bridge and the city of Porto. Everything was as described and there was adequate communication with the host.

An outstanding Airbnb in a beautiful location. The accommodation is spacious and comfortable, with the added bonus of several different places to sit in the garden and enjoy the spectacular views of the Douro valley. But it's the hosts that make this place so special. Casimiro and his son Manuel represent what Airbnb is all about; they personally welcomed us, offering lots of recommendations for places to visit and local restaurants, but were never intrusive. Casimiro's wife had prepared a tray of 'entradas' - a Portuguese starter of cured meats, cheeses, bread and olives - plus a bottle of local wine. A couple of days later Casimiro appeared with an huge bowl of cherries from their own orchard. This Airbnb wasn't just somewhere to stay for a few nights, but an experience to be treasured.

We had a wonderful time staying at Eduardo and Patricia's place. We arrived early in Porto after our transatlantic flight, and they had the place clean and ready for us by 13h. Patricia personally welcomed us and gave a bunch of recommendations for the area. We appreciated this hospitality. The bed was very comfortable (futon-like queen mattress) and the air conditioner and shower worked well. The location is perfect. 10-15 minute walk to all the Porto highlights, so we were easily able to stop back at the apartment for a water refill or bathroom break during our sightseeing. It's a central location but this section of the street has no bars or restaurants so it's pretty quiet at night. We would stay here again on our next visit!

Communication with Luis Miguel was great and he was prompt in his replies. For us his place was at the perfect location as we like to walk everywhere. Place is well maintained and clean. Would stay there again.

Very welcoming and accommodating host: apartment accessible earlier than expected. Good advice given. Very well located apartment, very clean. Perfect stay!

This is an extremely comfortable place to stay in a beautiful part of Portugal. The Douro Brothers are great hosts. Everything was in order and all we had a very nice time. Muito Obrigado!

Joana's house was exactly what we needed, 4 adult couples from the family, each from a different part of the world. The house is wonderfully equipped Designed in an inviting rustic style and the garden is well maintained The property is exactly as shown in the pictures. It was well worth it!

We've been very happy in Estefania's house. The apartment is in a perfect location for a family. no parties and no noises nightime. It's very close to the river area, full of good fish restaurants, and to the city center. It took us 15 minutes with the baby to reach it, and it's also possible to get the metro. Adelino, who was our contact there, gave us a lot of useful info. He was also very reactive, and when we had a problem he always replied immediately and did everything in his power to help us. I would definitely recommend the apartment to other guests!

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!

A true piece of paradise! 🌿✨ From the first moment, we feel welcomed as if we were at home - but with the charm of a heavenly refuge. Diogo was an exemplary host: always available, attentive and genuinely concerned with our well-being. Your kindness made the experience even more special. The space is simply breathtaking, perfect for resting the mind and recharging the soul. And as if the surrounding nature and the tranquility of the place were not enough, we had charming visitors: adorable kittens that appeared unexpectedly and immediately won our hearts. They were a sweet and caring asset, which gave even more life to our stay. We recommend it with our eyes closed - and with a full heart.

Marta was nothing short of fabulous, responsive from the get go and we already had an idea of our plans and restaurants to eat at before we even arrived. Check in went smoothly and she was there to greet us immediately and show us our villa, which itself was gorgeous and set away right next to the pool. The location is absolutely unbelievable with gorgeous views of the Douro valley & river and we even got to say hello to the villa dog Whiskey :) <3 We would absolutely go back in a heartbeat as the location, price and friendliness of our hosts were all 10/10, we could not fault a thing!

Manuel and Rosaria are adorable and very considerate people, who anticipate the possible needs of the tenants of the cottage. It was very easy for us to communicate with them despite the language barrier. Upon arrival, we were able to taste Portuguese specialties. The cottage is very well equipped, very clean and very well located for visiting the north of Portugal. The property is beautiful, with different spaces, garden, pool, vineyards and animals. I would highly recommend this rental. Thank you very much to Manuel and Rosaria for hosting us.

Wow! So much more than the photos show. We were a group of 6 traveling Portugal and added the Douro to the itinerary for beauty and relaxation, we weren’t disappointed. Communication was fantastic, the house is extremely well equipped for cooking and leisure and the beds were really comfortable. Every corner of the house has a wow moment. The surrounding property was beautiful to walk around, none of us wanted to leave for the next leg of our trip. A special mention to Antonia the caretaker who was very helpful and friendly. If you’re planning on touring the wineries and in need of a driver Paulo is fantastic and can be contacted via the host. We will be back.

Luis, a very nice guy, was always waiting for my arrival. He told me everything very kindly and a charming apartment, easy to get to. A spectacular apartment and a 10-star host, highly recommended

Excellent stay at Andrea's. Location close to the ocean, easily accessible. Andrea is very accommodating in case of modification and arrival times. Obrigada!

Good people Very nice communication

Rui and Sergey have a lovely place. They were very friendly and very helpful. The room was spacious and had excellent storage. They have since updated their main bathroom, which is now one of the nicest bathrooms I have seen (spacious, new, and great shower)!! The location was also very nice. It was far enough away from the hub of the city for quiet, but close enough to walk to Porto (25-30 min of a nice, pretty walk). The metro is also very close (8 min), which was so very convenient. Being able to use a washing machine was a huge plus too. Overall it was a great value!

We were happy to stay outside of the lot of noise from the street all night. The apartment is missing an electric kettle, which would make it easier to boil water. The contact with the host is efficient, he prepared an apartment that was clean. Extra linens, a set of towels for everyone. There was also an extra electric heater that could be turned on on cold nights, however, it can't be used at the same time with the dryer as the traffic jams in the apartment are getting out. An apartment equipped with everything you need except for a kettle. Accessible location next to bus stop. I recommend staying in an apartment.

Rosario is a great host. The place is clean and well equipped. In addition, the location is great: very close to the beach and good restaurants. I only can recommend it. Will certainly return.

Great stay. The accommodation is clean, well-equipped With a pool that was much appreciated , swimming or napping at the foot of the pool You have breakfast with a magnificent view of the Douro River! Barbecue and bar with your feet in the water! All in a calm and unimposed location. What to spend great family time Thank you for your hospitality and kindness See you soon Christelle and Germain

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.
