Family-friendly holiday rentals in Viana do Castelo

We really enjoyed this villa, its wide open spaces, swimming pool and beautiful well-maintained garden. The on-site caretakers have always listened to us to facilitate our stay.

Great stay, I hope to be able to repeat again!

The beautiful and pure place in the forest, for those who like to contemplate nature. We also love the pool. The hostess was very attentive. Thanks Manuela for seeing us again!

Antonio's house is an exceptional place to enjoy a quiet atmosphere, in the middle of nature in an original and open design house. Antonio was attentive at all times and gave us very good recommendations to enjoy the surrounding villages. The house is very close to beach areas and villages in a few minutes by car.

The villa is incredible, breathtaking from the moment you step in. The photos cannot do it justice. We only made two trips out (apart from food shopping) because we had no need or want to leave. The space is fantastic and every room is beautiful. If you are interested in sports it caters for everything there is an indoor games hall which has almost everything you could desire. This includes the tennis racquets for the court. The pool is wonderful and very relaxing - if you’re lucky you’ll get visits from the swallows as we did. As mentioned by the host and a few reviews you will need a car to get there and to get around but it’s a great way to explore the area when you do decide to go out. We ran around the area, did some hill sprint sessions and also some HIIT sessions within the villa ground. You can do everything. There are also lots of great beaches around the area some of which are suggested in Fernando’s welcome book and one of the ones we visited. Fernando and Pedro were great hosts very helpful and always at the end of the phone should we require anything. Relaxed, helpful and humorous. You are also provided with a welcome book which has lots of information about things you can do, where you can go and how to do them! 5* all the way. A perfect place for a getaway with friends and I imagine family too. I don’t doubt we will be back to visit in the future.

Everything was perfect! Well-located apartment near the beach, clean and as described. Nice pool and lit from the living room, very practical. Hugo was very friendly and they made everything very comfortable for our stay with children. Thank you so much for everything!

Quinta do Bento Novo is a delightful and wonderful manor house and grounds, located at the edge of typical village overlooking beautiful countryside. Paulo was a perfect host. He could not have been more helpful before we arrived and was waiting to great us upon our arrival to gave us a tour around his family's ancestral home, which was greatly appreciated. Throughout our stay, he made himself available to answer our questions and help us get the most out of our stay. The house itself is wonderfully historic, spacious, and comfortable, with every facility one could need. The grounds are stunning and a joy to stroll around. I picked and ate my first (ever) orange straight from the tree, at Paulo's kind invitation (and it was delicious). Supermarkets and restaurants are within easy striking distance, as are any number of wonderfully historic sites to visit and the beach is close also. In short, we could not rate this property highly enough and plan to return as soon as we are able.

Antonio's airbnb has everything that's needed and it was clean. Antonio was very eager to help us a lot with recommandations for places to eat, surf and visit the area.

A great place to stay. Very well-equipped and a very nice garden. Highly recommended

Susana and her family are perfect hosts and nothing was too much trouble. We had a fantastic week with our grown up and teenage sons there. The villa and outside areas are extremely spacious and so clean. With older children, this extra space was invaluable. There was even a ping pong table to keep the boys busy too! It is so well equipped overall and the outside BBQ is great. The local area is so beautiful and we used a great local surf school in the mornings. The beach is very accessible and it was good to have off street parking in the villa, as the beach is a popular local attraction so the there lots of visitors to the area during the day. But this just makes the beach more vibrant and interesting. We made full use of all the restaurants and the small local shop, where we ordered daily bread and picked up essentials. A big thank you to Susana for being so helpful and flexible throughout the week. We would highly recommend a anyone to book this holiday home.

Fantastic place, so very well equipped and great location. We loved it here and would love to stay again. We had a problem with the boiler when we arrived and Marta was quick To get it working again. We would definitely recommend a stay here.

We were a marriage with our daughter and our little dog, the house is very comfortable, the estate is spacious, with high closure and the pool is large, the place is quiet, perfect for disconnecting, there is a bathing area on a river

What a lovely country cottage! Wonderful, spacious inside and a large pretty garden outside. A perfect stay and hope to return.

Spacious, well-decorated house with all the necessary amenities to spend a good day. The outside is beautiful and the pool is great! The condition of the house and garden were impeccable. Perfect to relax!!

The place was excellent. The rooms were very clean and well equipped. We had a lot of fun cooking and eating together in the large kitchen, jumping into the pool every morning and spending the afternoons on the terrace. There were ten of us and we all had enough space, whether outside or inside we could live together wonderfully. The town of Ancora and the beach can be reached in 20-30 minutes, the neighborhood is quiet and very nice. All in all, we had a great vacation in a great place.

Wow, what wonderful hosts Henrique and his daughter are and also what a wonderful place he has! We enjoyed our stay so much, Henrique maintains the home and garden very well and takes great care of it, the garden is a piece of paradise and a credit to Henrique’s care and attention. The home itself feels spacious with lots of natural light. The bedrooms are comfortable for a good nights sleep. We enjoyed days by the pool, having lots of fun and even got the chance to BBQ. Nearby we visited a very nice local restaurant ‘Restaurante As Quatro Colunas’ and visited Viana and Mount of Santa Luzia, we I also recommend doing too. Thanks for being such a kind and welcoming host! We have the memories forever.

The most charming house with lots of character within walking distance to the beach and restaurants in Afife. The house is beautiful and so is the garden and pool area. Dulce and her daughter Joana were really helpful with any requests and information needed. The house was great for kids and even came with toys and books to keep them entertained (1&3 year old). We would love to come back!

Thank you in advance for all the availability of the hosts, they were very friendly and always helpful. The house was excellent both in terms of cleanliness and with all the things that are available for a great stay. The surroundings of the house are super quiet and perfect for relaxing. Outside spaces are fantastic and very well maintained. I will certainly come back. Thank you very much

great house. the neighborhood is very nice. Viana is a great town. the house is very well thought out and very pleasant to live with family.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at Casa Isabel in Geraz do Lima. We were warmly welcomed by David, Sr Joaquim's son, who gave us a tour of the house and its amenities. Casa Isabel is a charming traditional Portuguese villa with absolutely stunning gardens, a large and inviting swimming pool, and comfortable rooms. The pictures accurately portray the property. The house is impeccably clean and well-equipped, making us feel right at home. It was a pleasure chatting with Sr Joaquim, although far too brief. Portuguese hospitality truly shines! A well-stocked mini-market and bakery are just a two-minute walk away, adding to the convenience of our stay. Casa Isabel is an ideal base for exploring the region by car. We enjoyed day trips to Porto, Guimarães, Braga, Viana do Castelo, Ponte de Lima, and many other fascinating places. I highly recommend Casa Isabel!

A Calm Site, near town Ideal to reflect and rest

Very nice reception by the helpful hosts. The house was very comfortable. The garden was beautifully designed and invited you to enjoy it. A bakery was within 3 minutes walking distance. The beaches were easy to reach and the kids could play on the beach, collect mussels and bathe in the rock pools at low tide. It was of course too cold for swimming in the sea. The house sits on the Way of St. James and you could watch pilgrims on their way to Santiago every day. Small villages such as Caminha can be reached in 20 minutes by car. For us, a very successful vacation. We will return.
