Villa vacation rentals in Cabeceiras de Basto

We had a wonderful time at Casa do Rio. The house provides everything you need for a short or longer stay of 9 days as we did. You can cook or go out to one of the restaurants in the nearby villages. If you’re not familiar to the region Sofia and Álvaro will give you all the info you need. The pool, nearby seats and trees are just what you need on a hot day to relax. Besides all that Sofia&Álvaro and Sandra know a way to surprise you with a little extra, like a traditional Portuguese snack to make you feel more home.

Lavandar lodge is a very comfortable and immaculately clean house set in beautiful gardens. Each morning we walked to the nearby river and enjoyed wild swimming and playing on the sandy beach and in the hot afternoons the pool was the perfect place to relax. We stayed with our 7yr old daughter and she loved the place, exploring the woods and finding swings and hammocks to relax in and saying hello to the resident donkey every day!

Carla was very hospitable and kind, even Helena is very helpful. The house has everything you need and is very clean. The exterior is also taken care in the smallest of details. You can understand that there is a lot of passion and care and you feel pampered. thanks again!

Perfect to rest :) Detailed, very well maintained, well-equipped space, comfortable and with great conditions. Very beautiful and welcoming common spaces (swimming pool, swinging, picnic table, garden). We made purchases beforehand, which we recommend from the distance to the nearest mini-market and because you certainly won't want to leave this location :) O Rio and Tobias were the cherry on the cake :) We would definitely go back!

The place is too big and too nice to be in. It is an excellent stay for those who want to be away from the city routine and enjoy the fresh air. In addition, the owners are very friendly, attentive and always available.

Our two-week family vacation, At Regina and Alberto's was excellent 👌 The hosts are exceptionally friendly. Always available and at the same time very very discreet. Very nice little touches towards us (thank you again☺️) A very nice quiet place excellent for a great holiday. I highly recommend taking a little trip to Regina and Alberto's, you won't be disappointed, on the contrary you will appreciate the place and the hosts. Thank you Regina and Alberto and see you soon Carlos and Lina

The house is amazing and equipped with all the amenities for a large group. The outdoor space has beautiful views and although the pool is shared with the T1 house on the side, everything went well, the space is large enough to be separate groups.

Very nice house, the caretaker Olivia was very welcoming and did us a favor. The estate is very large, many more peaceful (shaded corner, large pool...) there is a very nice dog who stayed with us during our stay. The only small downside is the automatic watering which is not too often too often, which is not necessarily necessary sometimes. I recommend this vacation rental with friends in Portugal! ☺️

Beautiful stay with a beautiful villa!! The owners were very attentive.

Beautiful house that offers a multitude of activities on site as well as a strategic position around the big cities of the north. I highly recommend Maria and Pedro for your holiday!

We spent a week in this typical Portuguese house. 4 couples between 25 and 30 years old. This rental far exceeded our expectations. imagine yourself finding yourself in a home with beautiful spaces, surrounded by orange trees, vineyards, Eucalyptus and magnificent nature. All maintained to perfection. the pool is perfect size, a shutter net or badminton is available, a pool table, a family-style barbecue. The icing on the cake, we had a bar at our disposal in the TV room (fridge + ice maker). neighbors are too far away to be disturbed This villa will be perfect for a week / 15 days with your friends with or without children. we will definitely be coming back to this beautiful place!

We came to Church house in Moreira do Castelo, August 2024 with my wife & three teenage children. It is situated opposite a newish village square, carpark and 1960's Church, with spectacular views across the mountainous countryside looking towards Amarante, (a beautiful town), only 15mins away by car. In the village itself, there is Cinza's bar, a couple of small independently owned bars/shops nearby, but we found it easier to stock up on groceries at Pingo Doce in Amarante itself, (only 12 mins away). Great amenities at the house, swimming pool, bbq, pool room, tennis court etc., with a great deal of local charm the way the circa 1883 house has been rebuilt. It was v. hot whilst we were there (upper 30's), but with the shutters and mountain breezes we still found it very enjoyable. Within the village square, there is a football pitch, a kiosk which sells beers most evenings, where the locals gather. Conversations can be heard until gone midnight. Church bell strikes at 7am.

Perfect space. Really a super complete vacation home. Our congratulations for the space. The only "problem" we had was locomotion outside the house. We have a the family with limited mobility and the number of stairs and own house being situated on a slope did not help much. But obviously this is not a defect. We just wanted to highlight this part because as we have a lot of people in this situation and it makes it difficult a little bit. Outside if the stairs had handrails would be ideal . But everything was perfect thank you

We really enjoyed staying at the river house. It is a very nice space with lots of green space, shade and sun areas, a forest to explore by the river and everything very well cared for and decorated. The apartments are well equipped and the hosts have been very available, namely in accommodating all the needs of a baby. We recommend.

Definitely a vacation to repeat, I recommend it to those looking for peace, tranquility and nature! The house is very well equipped, decorated and has an amazing view! During our stay we were also able to enjoy the delicious fruit that is at Quinta de Fundevila (where the house is located). Regarding the location, it could not be better, in a few minutes' walk you are in the center of Arco de Baúlhe or the old train station, where there is no shortage of things to see and explore. It should be noted that the restaurants in the area are all very good, as well as the bakery and are just minutes from the house. Regina and Alberto are very attentive and warm hosts, they spoiled us so much! Thank you so much for everything, we miss it already <3

This was probably the best experience we have ever had. This place is so private and surrounded by nature, perfect to enjoy amazing sunny days away from the city commotion. The whole place also exceeded our expectations, obviously through photos you don’t get the real sense of the house, but it was better than what we were imagining. Silvia, who had personal contact with us, was absolutely amazing and worked very hard for us to have the most pleasant stay possible. We will definitely be back next year!

A very beautiful and comfortable place to spend a calm and revitalizing weekend in nature. Casa do Rio has an absolutely harmonious surroundings. We were greeted with great sympathy by Sofia and Álvaro.

Very beautiful environment for quiet family lounging, functional accommodation, incredible views, very pleasant, peaceful and charming little village. We would definitely recommend Quinta do Tapadinho! Very nice hikes to do around, but forget the bike, it's very steep! The baker even comes to your home in the morning;) Perfecto 👍🏽

Carla's place is a small peaceful oasis, the garden with the view is splendid! The house is perfect, tastefully decorated, clean, tidy. The bedding is extremely comfortable. Upon arrival we were treated to small touches: chocolates, jam, champagne. We even had a Christmas tree as a decoration. There are small games for children available in the house in addition to swings and slide outside. Communication with the host was great, we were able to arrive earlier in our accommodation and we could have left later. Carla heard from us during the stay, asking us if everything was okay, we really appreciated that. The only small downside is the wifi network which does not work very well. We highly recommend this place for a family vacation!

The stay exceeded expectations! All very nice and always available hosts. We were also offered an excellent breakfast, with large variety and homemade products from the farm. We were very pleased, expecting to return.
