Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Caniçada

I spent a glorious month at Maria Celeste’s home. It was simply the best place to reset, connect with nature & rest. I’ve never been to a more peaceful home. Freshly squeezed orange juice (from trees) every morning. Lemons for water. A natural spring to swim off hiking grime. Mountains to climb surrounding the entire home. Lizard & butterfly friends. And so so quiet. Maria Celeste picked me up & drove me to the location. Taxi services available to go to town when needed. I can not recommend staying at this home more. If you need some R’n’R, stay. You won’t regret it.

beautiful garden and house. Silvio was such a great host and I couldn't imagine a better place to stay.

The countless reviews say it all: this place and Murilo's hospitality are both exceptional. Best to check it out for yourself as my review won't do it justice. A few highlights: the kitchen is fully equipped, the space is family friendly, and the landscape is amazing. This is my favorite airbnb booking, and I travel a lot. Would recommend to friends and family any time! Thank you Murilo, you have an exceptional spot and truly are a superhost!

We were with family and the stay was warm and peaceful. I recommend the location, the house is wonderful and the neighbors are very friendly. It is important, however, to inform that it is necessary to have a vehicle and clarify more clearly that access to them can be challenging , depending on which one it is. The entrance to the house is complicated, because for those who arrive at night is not illuminated and access to the self check in vault is not accessible to outsiders. One of the rooms is more difficult to access, ideal for younger people, but not for visitors with more limitations. Despite the recommendations for improvement, we emphasize the tranquility, the incredible landscape, and the comfort of the house, which is thought in detail. Let's go back! Thank you

Amazing location; beautiful property, very helpful host. We absolutely loved our stay!

excellent stay, only issue was with sleeping as the double bed mattress had plastic wrapping which can be noisy. no washing machine. Definitely would stay again.

We stayed here for two nights and loved the house. It’s situated within walking distance to the attractions within the town and also a close drive to the Douro Valley. I would highly recommend. Host was also quick to respond to any questions.

Fernanda was super nice and always available, which made our stay very peaceful. The house is cozy and perfect for relaxing with the family. I recommend it for those looking for a comfortable space to rest and have a good time together!

Our stay in this wonderful apartment was simply fantastic! The breathtaking view of the sea has made it special every day. Maria and Carlo were exceptionally warm hosts – they not only welcomed us warmly, but also showed us the surroundings and provided us with many valuable recommendations. Thanks to their tips, we were able to fully enjoy the region. We felt completely comfortable and look forward to our next stay. Absolutely recommended!

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

A beautiful apartment, the photos don't do it justice. Good facilities, Francisco was helpful and responsive. Perfect for our family group. The area is relaxed with a great beach easily walkable and brilliant seafood restaurants just around the corner.

Everything was great!

Great place to stay and having three complete private bedrooms is highly beneficial when traveling with family. We hope to return for a longer trip in the future to soak in the sun and visit the Douro Valley. Very accessible location.

Very nice place to spend a few days with the family. Highly recommended for those with young children. The house was spotless and the outdoor garden is great for spending some quality time. Mr. Vitor was very friendly and always very quick to respond. The check-in and check-out process was very simple and fast. He gave several suggestions of places to go for lunch/dinner or shopping. The house is located in a very nice village and relatively close to other towns/big cities with a lot to do. I recommend it 100% for anyone planning to stay in this area.

Luisa is a particularly nice and helpful host. The house was sparkling clean and equipped with all the comforts. And the location is perfect to explore this beautiful area

Casa do Engenho is amazing. So far, the best place my family and I have rented for a 10-day stay. Near Braga, easy to find, beautiful surroundings, quiet and comfortable. We definitely recommend staying. Monica is a great hostess, friendly and always there for you!

We chose Marília's place for the setting and being slightly further away from neighbouring houses than other places in the area. It didn't disappoint! Really peaceful with a great view. The pool is lovely but for clarity based on other reviews it definitely is not heated! We really enjoyed our stay.

Lovely property which was quiet and secluded. Facilities and aircon excellent also. If I have any criticism there could have been better communication re fixtures and appliances, bins, recycling, etc. The instruction to access the keys was excellent though not all of us are familiar with electronic gates! The water pressure is not great for showering despite taking it in turns and the toaster tripped the fuse to the whole kitchen on arrival which was interesting trying to find the fuse board to put it right though Rodrigo did respond to our call quickly. On balance a lovely place and would consider visiting again.

We were invited to a wedding at the Quinta Solar da Levado in Amares, Cidalia's house is quite close (8 min) which is rather appreciable in case of fatigue. The house is very, very large and clean on a double level. A beautiful vegetable/flower garden is a great way to enjoy the beautiful weather. Cidalia is very responsive and gives very clear instructions. As a traveller, just remember to take cash to pay the municipal tax.

Aurora was a fabulous host, very accommodating & friendly. We loved our time staying at Casa Lima. The place was in a private and beautiful location, which hosted a group of 11 people. We enjoyed having fresh bread delivered by Aurora daily, which made for a lovely experience. The place was clean and tidy with lots of space. All bedrooms had bathrooms, the kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals, and we enjoyed swimming in the pool.

Came with some friends - had a wonderful stay Thankyou very much!! Absolutely stunning property and super helpful hosts - we all LOVED the stay - such a perfect getaway for a few days :) Great amenities and Pool and hot tub - we felt spoiled!

We had a wonderful stay at Casa de Vilar de Rei where we spent two weeks as a family. If you are looking for a peaceful oasis surrounded by nature and a place to completely switch off from the world, this is it. Marta and her father Daniel were the perfect hosts - responsive, helpful and kind. Our 1-year-old son had the time of his life riding Daniel's tractor, meeting the chickens, and picking fresh fruit and vegetables from the garden. The pool is shared with the other house but there is plenty of space for everyone and we had very nice neighbours during our stay. There are lots of places to sit and relax or read in the garden - day beds, swings, benches, or the veranda with a beautiful view of the surrounding fields. The garden is also full of herbs and lemon trees. The house inside is very well equipped, and the bed linen and towels are immaculate. We had a fantastic time and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this little piece of countryside heaven. Thank you Marta and Daniel!

The home is a great base to explore Geres from and is in a quiet and beautiful area with great views. Spacious and comfortable!

Nuno’s hospitality is outstanding. The house is very nice and everything you needed was there even the domestic supplies. Really perfect.
