Waterfront vacation rentals in Fão

We were entranced from the moment we stepped through the door. This place is a real treat. It was clean and comfortable, and we felt very fortunate to have stayed in a spot with such an amazing outlook.

Location, location, location! The unit itself is fairly basic (though well equipped), but the view of Porto/Ribeira is sensational! Very comfortable unit for 2. Close to the port houses and Louis 1 Bridge. Marcelo provided good instructions to enter the property and was responsive to any request. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved our stay at Claudia’s! The views were excellent. The amenities were perfect, and it was very walkable! The hill to the apartment was a little steep, but doable and well worth the walk so beautiful! We were traveling with only backpacks so that helped getting big suitcases up the hill might be a challenge for some. Thank you, Claudia for having such a beautiful home for us to stay in.

Our stay in Sonia’s apartment was absolute bliss, I wish I could award more than 5 stars. The views were memorable, it was cathartic sitting on the verandah watching the river, especially at sunset. Everything in the apartment was of the highest standard, an exceptional Airbnb. Without hesitation I would thoroughly recommend.

This beautifully designed and perfectly presented apartment is a real gem! It's compact, but the space has been used to create a welcoming and practical oasis of comfort and calm. The host is very attentive and responds immediately in the most helpful way. The location is fabulous as long as you don't eat too many churros. They will feel heavy on your way up the steps! The Gaia foreshore is lovely, and less hectic than the Porto side. The long promenade is perfect for walking, but scooters and e-bikes are near at hand. Transport options are great. Download the Bolt App for the cheapest taxis (12 Euros from the Airport!!) but also the scooters and e-bikes on the same App! Our recommendation: book it and enjoy.

We loved the accommodations provided and the location. The apartment is beautifully situated for great views off of the balcony, and easily walkable to the Ribiera. There are tons of local shops and restaurants making this beautifully staged apartment an ideal choice.

While I was in Porto, it felt like I was staying in my own room. Everything was comfortable, clean, and beautiful. Moruk Park, Sangbento Station, Porto Cathedral, etc. All the main attractions are within a 10-minute walk. This is a very accessible accommodation. The host always responded quickly, On the day of check-in, due to my flight schedule I had to check in a little early, They took care of all the amenities. I also received recommendations for great restaurants, bars, and cafes nearby. Beyond highly recommend this accommodation.

Our recent stay at Ivan’s beautiful 2-bedroom condo in Porto exceeded every expectation we had for our Portuguese getaway. From the moment we booked until our reluctant departure, every aspect of our experience was nothing short of fantastic. This property represents exactly what vacation rental accommodations should be: comfortable, thoughtfully appointed, perfectly located, and managed by a host who genuinely cares about his guests’ experience. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lisbon was nice, but our vacation started here. Having this beautiful home and a car, we explored the region and had a great time. Owners recommendations led to our favorites experiences on the trip. Can't recommend enough. The pics don't do it justice either, and the pics are amazing.

We had a fantastic stay at the villa. Highlight was the unbelievable views from the pool and terrace. The villa and garden with pool & basketball/football court is completely private, perfect for small groups. There are some great local restaurants and river beaches, and Porto centre is only a short drive away. Be warned - there are lots of steep and narrow roads! João was a brilliant host - greeting us on arrival, and easy to reach throughout. Would definitely recommend a stay here!

Cristina and her husband Joaquin met us at the apartment and welcomed us like family. Cristina's personal touches, fresh flowered from her garden, robes, slippers and her warm and welcoming energy were just lovely. Joaquin gave us an incredible rundown on the map of the area. Cristina checked in with us regularly and made us feel like we had family nearby. The apartment is quite spacious. highly recommend.

Five stars to Casa de Cardido and to Rui and Alexandra for being wonderful hosts. We were a little late checking in, but Rui greeted us with a smile and a very generous tabua of local cheeses and meats. The hosts go above anything expected, with a sound system at the pool, exercise equipment, and fresh bread delivered daily. The house is a traditional Portuguese home - and it feels like a “home” not a rental. We spent two weeks here and it felt like staying with family. I noticed that one review commented on how close the highway is. Please know this is not a problem. You can see the highway when approaching the home from the road, but you cannot hear it and it does not interfere with the experience. This is very high quality stay with caring and involved hosts that will make sure you have all you need. I highly recommend.

Bruno was an excellent host, and had a wonderful accommodation. I will definitely be back in the future, thank you Bruno!

A true slice of paradise! 🌿✨ From the first moment, we felt welcomed as if we were at home — but with the charm of a heavenly retreat. Diogo was an exemplary host: always available, attentive and genuinely concerned about our well-being. Your kindness made the experience even more special. The space is simply stunning, perfect for resting the mind and recharging the soul. And as if the surrounding nature and tranquility of the place were not enough, we had charming visitors: adorable kittens that appeared unexpectedly and immediately won our hearts. They were a sweet and caring asset, which gave even more life to our stay. We recommend it with our eyes closed - and with our hearts full.

We had a wonderful time in a wonderful location! The appartment is super equipped and has a wide view over the stunning garden and the country. Although... 'garden' seems to small a word for the park that it really is. We just loved it! Also the host was super helpful with everything! Thank you!

Maria greeted us and had cheese and cold beverages and a few other amenities in the fridge , we were able to get some great information she was very friendly and helpful . The views were fantastic exactly like the photo’s . Went to the Espinho market on Monday it was huge great deals and something for everyone was easy to get there . Plenty of walkways all along the ocean you can walk for miles . The train station is very close that you can take to Porto just FYI if you do take the train to Sao Bento Porto which is the downtown you have to change to Train 2 at the main station. This area is easy to get around and parking was close and free. Would love to come back to this area to explore some more .

a really great place to stay, the design is well considered with window shutters that block any noise and air con that works quietly. we had a great stay.

There were three of us women friends going to start the Camino Walk. It was the best experience. Philip let us check in early as we had a red eye from Toronto. Paula met us early and helped us check in. The condo is gorgeous. Perfect for us. So clean and do equipped. From the beautiful towels to the plates to the beach chairs. Everyone was wonderful. I couldn't recommend it more. ! Location location!

I booked this accommodation because the view of the Douro River was so beautiful, and I was very satisfied! I kept walking because it was downtown just by crossing the bridge, but it was okay. The house was spacious for the price, and it was nice to have all the cooking utensils:)

We loved it from the moment we walked in. It was exactly as it was described and my 15 year old daughter wanted to "stay forever" as soon as she saw it. Perfectly located and just plan fun inside and out. Christoph made it all easy, responded immediately, and made everything all around easy and fun. Highly recommend it.

Great host who listens. Responsive and very friendly! The accommodation is very well located (close to the sea and amenities). Have a nice stay thank you ☺️

Simply outstanding! What a gorgeous condo Rooftop is awesome! One side with two large comfy sun-beds and dining table. The other side with a chill out cushioned, slightly shaded outdoor sofa area. Both areas private and cleverly hidden and not overlooked. Then there’s a side balcony to enjoy morning coffee / tea The house itself was exceptionally clean, amazingly well equipped and chic. Situated just outside of Porto in a beautiful neighbourhood with a small selection of quaint, cool bars/ restaurants. The beaches are beautiful ( who knew? ) We walked for miles along well kept wooden walkways exploring the beaches Easy reach of Porto city ( approx 6 euros in uber ) Communication with Gustavo was good however trivial my request ( apologies Gustavo 🙄) Don’t hesitate to book this gorgeous place, it’s awesome !

Great host! Had an amazing stay at Liu-Qi's

I spent two weeks at the apartment and had a very warm welcome from the host. Maurizio took his time to explain everything in detail and gave very handy recommendations. The apartment is very clean and had all equipment you could need for a short or longer stay. The kitchen is well equipped and the wifi was fast and stable. The view from the balcony is beautiful and there are 2 nice restaurants, a mini supermarket, gym/pool, cafés, etc. in walking distance. The beach is super near and definitely worth visiting. It’s very popular among water sport fans. There are several ways to get to the other side/city (ferry, bus and also Uber works good here). 5 stars for this beautiful place!
