Holiday rentals with breakfast in Armamar

This was a dream vacation - we had just moved to Portugal and spent 2 weeks getting setup. We wanted a quiet week as a family to rest before school started. This place was perfect: perched on a mountainside in the middle of vines, the space was quiet, peaceful and beautifully designed and appointed. Paulo, the husband, is an architect who refurbishes vintage designer furniture. Teyna, the wife, is an amazing chef. Her breakfasts (included) we delicious and the dinners they offer in their adjoining restaurant and well crafted and tasty. Their place is pet friendly - we brought our dog, and they have a dog, two cats and two birds. We did outings to Porto, nearby Roman ruins, historic villages and swam in the rivers running through them. It was delightful.

Our stay at Lugar das Letras was nothing short of magical. This beautifully restored house, once an old school, offers breathtaking views of the surrounding vineyards—a true feast for the eyes. The rooms and bedrooms were incredibly comfortable, thoughtfully designed to make us feel at home. But what made our experience truly unforgettable were Carla and Paula, the two wonderful ladies who took care of every detail. Every morning, they prepared a memorable breakfast for our entire family, filled with warmth and care. Their kindness and hospitality turned our stay into a dream. We can’t wait to return to this little slice of paradise in the Douro Valley. Highly recommended!

Nuno’s place exceeded our expectations. It has a beautiful balcony with a view over the Douro river. The pool area is peaceful and breakfast provided was an added bonus. Nuno was very helpful and provided us with great recommendations for wine tasting and spots to visit. The apartment is spacious, clean and has a small kitchen which we were able to use to cook in the evenings.

We had a great time! Everything was perfect. The host was very flexible with check-in and check-out times, and always available and helpful whenever we needed anything. The house was extremely well equipped, there was absolutely nothing missing. We highly recommend it!

Spectacular , will be back !!!

the great place to rest, surpassed my expectations the stone houses and the extender decoration very well decorated and with good taste,and Mrs. Zilda an excellent person,thank you and until a very close one,

I loved staying in Vila Coura, I would definitely stay again. Célia was charming, very helpful. We were able to check in at the appropriate time, explained everything to us about the space, the breakfasts, etc., it was super available to meet any of our requests anytime. The room was very comfortable, clean and cute. We had firewood to light the fireplace and we had a super pleasant atmosphere. The water is very hot too and the bed is super comfortable. I highly recommend!

Cesars place is a great find! The little house is very well thought through, with very modern touches to an eco home. The balcony area has an amazing view with the river running right below. The location is great, being only 5 minutes drive to the centre of guimaraes but also being in a more rural area with nice forested views. Cesar is a wonderful host and provided a delicious organic breakfast - including yogurts, granola, eggs, bread and fruit. Very recommended.

Wonderful host, great location, and outstanding, quiet accommodations.

You'll get more than you see. Very quiet and in beautiful area. The host is humble and tidy. Excellent. At least 6 stars.

We thank Aderito for all his advice. We had a pleasant stay. We highly recommend it.

This was a perfect location to enjoy Porto. Right on the river with a view of the bridge. The apartment was wonderful, clean, well appointed and decorated. We would stay here again!

Clean, roomy and comfortable apartment. Great patio. Very good communication. Paula was at the apartment on our arrival to introduce the apartment. A nice port and cookies were provided gratis, which was appreciated. Breakfast provided every morning was tasty and convenient. Highly recommend.

Alexandra’s place was wonderful in the middle of everything. Alexandra is a wonderful host ready with all kind of help and a kitchen full of goodies. Would stay again in a minute.

Heaven on earth! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing home. We will never forget it. Or you. Or the dogs!!! Happy Christmas!!

Jean and Luz are the perfect airbnb hosts. The communication was prompt, they met us when checking in and gave us a house tour and instructions. The house itself was tastefully decorated. The location is perfect, 5 mins walkable to city center with lots of restaurants around. We had a very comfortable and relaxing stay and would definitely recommend their place to anyone who is looking for a stay in Porto!

While visiting Portugal for a wedding, we enjoyed our stay very much. Very welcoming, impeccable cleanliness, very helpful host. We had a lovely stay.

Amazing and perfect getaway from the city to the peaceful countryside. This house was all what we wanted! Juan was very communicative and Graça who met us there made us feel immediately at home. Her breakfasts were amazing and beautiful organised. Definitely recommend. We will come back in the summer as well.

Quinta da Xandica, located just outside of Valença do Douro village, was a fantastic, and unique experience. It’s rare these days to find an Airbnb hosted by a “real” (boots on the ground) host who is not only there to share local knowledge and accommodates your needs, but literally who also welcomes you in to the ACTUAL family home. It reminded me of a traditional bed and breakfast, in all of the best ways. (Including a lovely breakfast in a dining room!!!) The Quinta was home to Matilde”s great grandfather, and is shared today with her grandmother and father (three generations). It’s a working farm, and an all around charming, beautiful place. Even during our unseasonably rainy visit, the grounds and area was stunning. Practically speaking, the bed was comfortable & the water hot. Dinner made by Matilde was a reasonably priced and delicious with estate wine. We also thoroughly interaction with other guests, the chipped dog, “Bill”, and access to the surrounding area. A treasure!

Thank you Marta for being our host. It was a pleasure!

Really enjoyed the hostel and would stay again. It was focused around the surfing in the morning which was great, Marco is a great teacher and you get plenty of time on the waves. Raquel is a lovely host and the food is excellent, there's a bit of a lack of local things to do and places to eat within walking distance but the nearest city isn't too far if you want to explore in the afternoons/evenings. Would totally reccomend the hostel to anyone wanting to learn how to surf, many thanks : )

Cidalia’s place was outstanding. Beautiful room, and amazing views. Gorgeous pool right above Douro. Dary Cidalia’s son was super helpful with every small request. He is a chef, and the breakfast he served was not only delicious with a huge variety, but also beautifully served. I we will recommend this place to all our friends, and certainly would love to come again. Thank you!!! Tirza Haviv and Yosef Khen

Lovely home and a wonderful place to stay.

Loved everything about this place. Inês was a wonderful host, she was friendly and welcoming, ensuring our stay was comfortable from start to finish. The property is a beautiful oasis, perfect for a countryside retreat. I couldn’t recommend this place more (If I could give 6 stars, I would!)
