Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Arouca

Spectacular house in a wonderful village! The house has all the necessary amenities, well-equipped, decorated with many interesting details. A large garden and outdoor space where we can relax to the sound of nature and the Paiva River, which passes very close by! The village of Paradinha is also very well recovered and cared for.

Canelas is a beautiful town for a mountain getaway. We loved the beautiful views from the property and the pool was great for our summer visit. Arouca is a charming town and we enjoyed visiting the convent and the local shops. We took day trips to the beach in Espinho, Pesa da Régua to taste wine and port, and Porto. We loved hiking near the Rio de Paiva too. The accommodations are historic in feel but also comfortable. We were able to cook dinners using the utensils in the kitchen. Elisabete and Rosaria were very kind and easy to communicate with.

Quiet Place with Amazing Views. It has a great atmosphere to relax a few days. Good pool. It has a PR very close to the house. And it has very cute kittens!!

Great stay at Cancela House! The house is as described: charming and atypical, bucolic setting, quiet, neatly decorated, well-equipped. A small peaceful haven in the small mountain, surrounded by eucalyptus forests. It felt good there. Special mention for the very nice dining/barbecue shelter, the charming pool with views and the pretty courtyard (with great sunbeds). We loved the setting and this house! Fatima was warm and responsive. Very easy interaction. If you like authenticity, typical (and atypical at the same time) accommodations, discover this corner of the mountain, discover Arouca Geo Park (passadiços de Paiva + Arouca 516)… Go ahead!

The house is nice, very spacious and clean. We spent 3 days as a family with our pet and we didn't miss anything. Inés' recommendations were very accurate and the place is quiet and easy to visit. The weather was quite pleasant during our stay and helped us sleep at night. Without a doubt, the description of the house and the site is 100% reliable and of course, I recommend it for sure.

The house had impeccable conditions. Everything clean, very quiet area.

This apartment is a real gem surrounded by nature. Surrounded by woods and streams, it offers an experience of unique peace and serenity. The place is comfortable and well cared for, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The elderly lady who manages the place is extraordinary. She is very friendly, helpful and always ready to give great advice. Your hospitality makes your stay even more special. I highly recommend this apartment to those looking for tranquility and nature. Can't wait to go back!

Five stars aren’t enough! We loved the little house. It’s charming and unique and offers all means of comfort you could wish for. We would come back there anytime! The host himself and his parents next door are the sweetest and most caring people. Even when we had questions and problems, they all went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. We got support within minutes. I cannot express more how much we recommend this accomodation and how nice Bruno is. Thank you so much, this stay will be remembered 😃

This centrally located Airbnb is within walking distance of all the main attractions in Porto. The apartment offers a perfect view of the Sé do Porto, adding a special touch to the stay. Ani, the manager, was incredibly communicative and responsive throughout our visit. Highly recommend this spot for couples visiting the city!

We had a great time, everything was the same as what I advertised. Spectacular views of the river and the beautiful house. For putting a personal counter, there was a missing dish towel or paper towels. But for telling someone against the truth that I recommend it without a doubt if you want to spend a few days quiet and better than at home with the best views,

Great vacation in this apartment. Very well located. To repeat

The Apartment is in an unbeatable area, it is very careful and with every detail. Clean and cared for. You are close to everything, you can't hear any noise from the street. Let's repeat

My family of 4 ( 2 adults, 2teens) stayed at the manor house for 4 nights in April. What a unique house! Beautiful building right next to the Se cathedral - right in the heart of the city. Instructions were clear and we were able to store our luggage onsite prior to official check in. The home has an outstanding view and it is light, bright and airy with outstanding period charm. The beds were comfortable, water pressure good but the WiFi was glitchy. The owner was very responsive and went above and beyond when my son forgot his cell phone in the apartment after we checked out. The owner facilitated immediate retrieval which allowed us to catch our bus on time! It was much appreciated! I would recommend staying here!

The six of us have had it super at Marcos . was also very nice that we could return to the apartment for two more nights when we could not fly to the Netherlands due to power failure. We also enjoyed Porto and we went to the city and back with a bolt. It is highly recommended. Super thanks Marcos

We enjoyed staying in Wei's place in Villa Nova de Gaia. very convenient to most of Porto via Metro, lots of resources in the area. Safe, secure parking was a plus.

Excellent accommodation. The apartment is very nice and has a well equipped kitchen, 2 full amenities, heating, washer and dryer, balcony, 3 bedrooms. It is also very sunny and the atmosphere of the area is very familiar. Zélia is a loving person, very friendly and attentive. Below is a small supermarket that has everything, and the prices are normal. The accesses are easy and relatively close to the freeway, so if you want to go to Porto, Aveiro etc is easy. Highly recommend. I will definitely repeat.

Beautiful home in amazing location! Antonio’s place was incredible. More than enough space for family of 5 with really picturesque courtyards for enjoying the mild temperatures plus it was just across the street from the beach. The home was well-appointed, clean and had all we needed to make meals at home. It is a truly special place and Antonio was a wonderful, responsive host. We loved the restaurant he recommended. Can’t wait to come back again!

We were in Easter a group of friends. It was at all times pending and available for what we needed, the house is very nice and cozy; the spectacular estate, a pity the rain for not being able to use the pool, with hosts that way it is nice to travel, 100% recommended. Wishing to return Thank you Ricardo for everything!

To everyone who’s thinking of renting this house; if you’re having doubts, this is the sign to go for it. I’m speaking on behalf of my family and myself. We were a group of 8 who had the lovely opportunity to spend New Year’s Eve in this beautiful space. To start with, pictures don’t do justice to the gem you find when you pass through the entrance door. The house seems like it blends or comes out of the mountain itself. Maintaining original external features of what it seemed an old house that was carefully blended into the newer structure of the main house. When you enter you have the feeling of being at home and from any of the panoramic windows to the west side of the house you get the breathtaking views of the Douro river They’ve thought of all details and making it a perfectly functional house to not have to leave for as long as you plan to stay there. Having the breakfast service is also another extra service we were really happy to have thank you for the lovely experience.

Manu is a very welcoming host, with plenty of good tips on sightseeing (cellars on the Douro...) and must-see places. Recommended without hesitation. The proposed accommodation is as described and has plenty of space (very well equipped and very clean)

Our group had a very enjoyable stay. Diogo was a great host and provided us with flexible check-in. Amazing views of the Duoro River. There is also a great local restaurant Tasquinha do Tio Miguel a 5 minute drive away!

This place is peaceful and surrounded by nature with lots of trees and singing birds, includind the chickens that create an "quinta" atmosphere. The accommodations were clean and cozy, and the hosts were incredibly responsive and caring. I highly recommend this countryside gem for a relaxing escape.

Jeff's place is something you rarely find on Airbnb, it is a really beautiful property located in a protected, surrounded by nature and a river, silent valley. It is fully furnished, equipped with everything you may need or expect, perfectly cleaned, and very spacious. The kitchens (both in the main house and in the pool house) are basically professionals ones, with bbqs, smokers, all existing (high quality) kitchen utensils. Absolutely everything. The warm pool is stunning too and we used it in November! Before leaving after our 4 days we were looking at each other eyes, still surprised by the beauty and quality of the place. I could go on sharing all the great things we noticed, experienced and lived for much longer;) Congrats Jeff, you are really a fantastic host! Congrats Jeff, you are really a fantastic host!

What an amazing place this is and we were made to feel very welcome by the hosts. The breath-taking views, beautiful garden, conveniences of BBQ and swimming pool and close to convenience shops by car. We recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday. Thanks for hosting us !
