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 😃

Great location (central) and lovely space. The balcony and view were a joy in the mornings (sunny) and evenings (music wafting up from Rua de Flores and the cathedral illuminated with gulls flying above… magical). Ani was helpful and responsive with queries and top tips! I will return for sure! 😊

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,

Comfortable apartment, clean, and had everything we needed

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

We LOVED this place - a perfect city view from the window, vaulted ceilings made it feel even bigger (and is already spacious), beds were comfortable and the location is excellent. Alex gave us great recommendations to avoid touristy areas to eat. We would absolutely stay here again!

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

Wei’s place is very clean, comfy and as described. Wei met us in person and allowed us early access too. About 20 minutes walk to main Porto but easy to navigate. A lovely place I would r3commend!

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 six adults and spent 5 wonderful days in Roberto's cottage. It was one of the best Airbnb homes we've had so far. Everything just fit - Roberto and his father are extremely attentive and nice hosts, the house is very cozy and equipped with many loving details, the property is a dream and is absolutely quiet - yet it is only about 30 minutes by car to the beautiful city of Porto. Everything really fit, and we would have liked to have stayed longer. If you love tranquility, like to have it cozy and look for a house that is equipped with everything you need, should not hesitate and vacation here.

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.

Although the time did not accompany, we had a good time in your home, thank you for everything Miguel!!

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 !
