Family-friendly holiday rentals in Paiva River

This is a stunning place secluded away from anything nearby. Great for a retreat to be restful, listen to nature and admire the beautiful horses. Cheila was an incredible host, super responsive to any questions or comments and gave us some beautiful lemons from her tree. The house is really well throughout and all amenities are included. Thank you so much for a beautiful stay. ❤️

Very nice place with perfect location in Gaia . Beautiful apartment with ocean view , kind host , nice people everywhere . The seafood around the river was extremely tasty .

Spacious, comfortable house with beautiful outdoor space, very pleasant shaded terrace. Good location for visiting Porto and the Douro Valley. "Méandro" restaurant next door, cheap, excellent with splendid views of the Douro. Graça and her husband are welcoming and responsive. The only downside is the presence of barking dogs ++ (kennel?). Graça has nothing to do with it, but noise nuisance to report.

The house has a beautiful view, it was clean and they even left us some treats. The communication was excellent, super responsive and friendly. The neighbours are also very friendly and helpful.

We had a great week together with our 2 children aged 4 and almost 1. The facilities are Top, Manuela is always ready to help and the wine is fantastic. 2 very enthusiastic and sweet people who have made it a wonderful place. The hospitality made it even better. And Caramello was usually very cozy.

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

David was very welcoming and helpful! Very clean place that has everything you need. It was super comfortable and we had a lot of space.

Carlos is a great host. We had a great 4-day vacation with e-bike trips through the beautiful surroundings. E-bikes is a must. A superb place to spend time at. The location of the Villa is fantastic once you reach it via the steep hills. Magnificent view and very well organised. Good service and breakfast. Totally recommended!

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.

this is truly an all 5 star experience. absolutely do the wine tasting and tour. this was the best stop on our trip. thank you Cecilia.

Very nice cozy house to spend your vacation. We had a great time.

What a lovely home! Surrounded by beautiful nature and amazing vibes. Our host was responsive and very welcoming. Definitely recommend this spot!

From arrival at Luis place I felt at home and in the company of a wonderful host. Luis contacted me daily to make sure everything was OK and provided recommendations for activities and places to visit. I enjoyed the pedestrian zone, the parks, the bookstore the riverside and churches all on waking distance from the apartment. I was pleased to meet his daughter Teresa who make me feel more like part of a family. I will always remember Luis kindness and charm. Thanks also for helping me get a taxi for my early ride to the airport. I will definitely book your beautiful place again on my next trip to Porto.

We had a wonderful stay at the Manor House in Porto! The highlight was definitely the terrace — we spent every evening out there enjoying the stunning views across the river. It was the perfect spot to relax after a day of exploring the city. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and in a great location. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a scenic and peaceful stay in Porto.

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

Luis’ place was excellent! There is a little park area with many great restaurants just around the corner. Luis offered many helpful recommendations. The place was spotless and had a great little balcony to sit out on. It’s close to most tourists spots if you are a walker. There are 2 flights of steps, in case that is an issue for you. We would recommend this place to friends! Brian & Lesley Vancouver, Canada

very nice place as well as the outside. The view is beautiful .

This was the most magical place for our family of five. I now want to come back and try all of Miguel’s other properties. A true highlight was taking advantage of the connections to local vendors that come with the hosts recommendations. Private dinner at the Pinta Lounge was amazing . I said to my husband at one point , “ I am so happy I could cry” - that sums up this cottage.

Maybe not for everyone but us we experienced the house and surroundings as a little paradise. The house has character and the whole lot around it is beautiful. It is quiet and has lots of space. The pool is real pool, and not an enlarged sort of bath tub. A beautiful view is included. The house is well equipped, everything worked well. The shoreline is a 40+ minute drive and worthwhile visiting. One can walk kilometers on the wooden board walk or bike along. Even to Porto along the shore which is really not far away. It passes Afurada………… you may want to plan a stop there for excellent sea food at a very reasonable price Hiking trails are in the area. Do some smart shopping for groceries and the like at a supermarket, we did not find anything close by. Maybe a minus for some, if you like to go out and enjoy night life nearby, that is a no-go.

Quiet location (which was what we wanted), excellent house, views, spacious (inside and outside/garden), lots of extras/gifts from the host, who was impeccable. I recommend it and we'll possibly return with warmer temperatures.

Great place! Excellent river view and terrace. The hosts were very friendly and helped us when our car broke down. Supermarkets and restaurants are just a 10-minute drive away.

Lovely stay! The host provided above and beyond all that we needed - and it was in such a lovely location! Beautiful home!

Beautiful house with a beautiful view. We really enjoyed our stay, and Elisabete was very easy to communicate with and responsive to anything we needed. She even provided a crib. Thanks so much for hosting us!

We had an unforgettable week, and I can’t recommend this place enough. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the peaceful setting and views of the river. The highlight for us was definitely the infinity pool it overlooked the river and the kids spent hours in it We took full advantage of the paddleboards and kayaks provided. The river was calm and we paddled out most afternoons/evenings when it was a bit cooler. The accommodation was spotless and comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The hosts were friendly and helpful, offering great tips on boat trips and vineyards to explore. Thank you for letting us stay and hoping to visit again next year
