Villa holiday rentals in Viana do Castelo

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.

It was amazing!! Such a beautiful home, and so close to the beach. The house is absolutely amazing, real luxury and the hosts were wonderful, we had easy and flexible check in and out. We were four women there for a watersports holiday but I would also come back with my kids. Highly recommend!

The house is super spacious and well cared for, great for large groups. The garden and pool area are super pleasant areas. The hostess was very helpful and always available when necessary. The house has everything we need, the atmosphere is quiet and we love that the house is so well-equipped with matrecos, ping pong table, barbecue area and even pool buoys. I recommend your stay!

We had a great time staying in Joao's lovely house! It is a very beautiful place with lots of character and style. Joao and his wife were kind a d helpful and made us feel comfortable. The pool and gardens are lovely too! Would recommend :)

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.

Everything was great! House is accrding to the description and looks like on the photos. Benedita is a very helpful and communicative host. Highly recommend!

It was with our two-year-old son and another couple that we spent 5 wonderful days in this house. Adelina and her parents were always at our disposal to make our stay even better. It's an ideal place if you have kids. Bed, chair, a park with private swing and lots of toys made our son not want to leave. The house is very modern and has the best equipment in each room. We were very well received by Adelina's parents who gave us all the necessary information for our stay. We also loved the pool where we spent a lot of time. Located in a small, very quiet village, it is also close to Afife Beach, which is very beautiful. We highly recommend this house and will be happy to return one day. Many thanks to Adelina and her parents. Tiago/Noémie

Extremely nice inside. They did an excellent job. Clean, very comfortable beds. Cleaner came one day which was nice. Easy check in/out. Dryer was listed but there wasn't one; Airbnb translated languages incorrectly. Luís was very kind though and offered to have our clothes washed for us! The downstairs shown in picture is not part of rental. Thanks again, Luís!

Second time we stayed here with a group! The place is meticulously taken care of with lots of loving elements. Traditional style and homely feel.

We were 2 families staying together and we had ample space in this well appointed sizeable villa in sleepy local village outside of Viana do Castelo, which is a nice town. There are a few local restaurants in the village and a cafe/bar a short walk down by the river. The river wasn't swim-able though. We spent time relaxing by the lovely saltwater pool which isn’t overlooked and is set in the secluded gardens overlooking fields. We felt a car was essential to visit local towns and national parks. The cleaner came mid way through our 2 week stay and changed bedding towels and cleaned throughout, which was a nice bonus. Jose was there to greet us and gave us helpful local advice We thoroughly enjoyed our 2 week stay and would recommend the villa.

We had an amazing stay. The place was perfect for a family vacation. The location was peaceful and the nature surrounding was beautiful. The house was spacious and the pool area was great! We had everything we needed. Totally recommend it! 😊

It was a pleasure to spend a few days in Ralf's place. It's a wonderful house in a unique setting!! We had the bad luck that during all our days it rained a lot but thanks to the comforts of the house we were able to spend it fantastically and enjoy each space. But the best part was certainly not the house, nor was the environment Ana and Ralf who were aware of us at all times. Thank you for that💖💖

Fantastic accommodation. Beautiful gardens, pool and house. Marcus is a very good host, and looked after us so well - bringing us little gifts like fresh orange juice just made the experience so much better. One of our children really wanted to keep a huge lemon he’d found in the garden but we told him he would have to ask. Instead of just saying no, or yes, Marcus said “sure, but why don’t we make some lemonade together!”. Just so thoughtful and kind. The house is very well equipped and beautifully furnished. Lots of attention to detail. Pool is very large and everything is perfectly clean. Marcus and Rick really did go out of their way to ensure our stay was successful without ever being intrusive, so please don’t hesitate to book!

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.

What a fabulous place!!! Casa do Monte exceeded all our expectations and provided a relaxing and luxurious base near Barcelos for our 3 families holiday. The host was so helpful, friendly and flexible with check in times. The house is magnificent with a huge garden for the kids to explore and the swimming pool provided plenty of entertainment and the opportunity to cool down on the hot days!! The kitchen has everything you could need during your stay and the veranda boasts a magnificent view to eat your meals in front of, watch the sunsets and see the fireworks from nearby festivals. We feel very lucky to have had our holiday here and would love to return one day!!

We had a great time at the villa. Communication was quick and easy, the place was amazing! Thanks a lot!

There's nothing but excellent experience staying in Jorge's place. The house itself is beautiful and first of all for us it has the superb local Portuguese vibe. The house is fully equipped with all amenities - we could feel that the house has its natural warm, not like a place designated stricte for tourists. Basically we could feel like home but placed in slightly different culture. Swimming pool it's of course grat plus including the rest area around. The tea with the lemon taken directly from the tree (included in the area ;) has next level of taste :) So, if you want, you could stay home and relax but the location is also very convenient for exploration - to the local town/village even walking, but mostly by the car south (near to Viana do Castelo, then all the way to Porto), north (Spain -Santiago, etc.), east (Braga), etc. There's also a train in Vila Praia do Ancora so it's another teleportation option. Jorge is very communicative and helpful. All in all full recommendation!

Lurdes' home is great for a family getaway and with children. His house is spacious and has a swimming pool, even for children. In addition, it is well located, close to small villages that are worth visiting. Lurdes was a caring host and her house was spotless. We recommend it 100%, we were very comfortable there.

A peaceful nourishing stay. The grounds of the property have stunning Oak trees felt held and nature nourished here. All was just as description Joana friendly helpful and efficient. Get the GPS settings was easy to find with those. Would definitely stay again. Thank you Rx

This house is exceptional, Fatima and Éloi are great hosts too. Impeccable house, very large , great location and great view. The pool is perfect and you can enjoy the environment and the landscape at any time. The house is very well-equipped, comfort +++. Exceptional and warm welcome: fruit platters, cheese, charcuterie and traditional cake, fresh orange juice. Fatima also gives us information about my local events. the area is great , Galicia is nearby as well. I really recommend Fatima and Eloi's place, our family stay was great .

The house is located in an extraordinary setting. The pool, excellent, is in a beautiful garden. Emilia is very considerate, welcoming and very kind.

Very nice house - we were 10 people including kids. Very nice outdoor area with garden and pool. A local stand with fresh vegetables only 5 mins walking from the house. Good instructions from the host. Location is private, good for various excursions by car in the greater area. Sunset was perfect.

We had a great stay at Vitor's place. The garden was particularly pleasant, we were even able to enjoy the pool which was very well maintained. Our dogs loved the garden, which offered a superb surface! The interior of the house is faithful to the photos, allows to preserve the privacy of each guest and the linen was clean. Host was very responsive. We will be back!

This place is stunning.
