Vacation rentals with lake access in Gafanha da Encarnação

This place is incredible. A renovated house from the medieval period, it’s even more impressive than the pictures. The setting is beautiful, with a view of the valley right out the bedroom window. The place itself is spotless and the automated check-in was a breeze. The host even had a bottle of wine waiting for us, and it’s well stocked with coffee. Like most homes in the region, be prepared to drive for groceries and restaurants - and take note that the drive to the house is steep downhill and at times narrow - but take it slow and you’ll be fine. The location of this place is perfect if you want to visit both Porto and the Douro valley. 10/10 would recommend!

A nossa estadia foi incrível. Fomos a Grijó para um casamento e a localização não podia ser mais perfeita. A Emília foi uma anfitriã incrível, super disponível, atenta e de uma simpatia gigante! A casa, para além da excelente limpeza, é muito acolhedora e está equipada com tudo o precisamos e mais alguma coisa :) todos os cantinhos foram pensados ao detalhe com muito amor e carinho, tanto no interior como no exterior que também é muito agradável ! E impossível não sentirmos a boa energia ❤️ Agradecemos de coração a atenção e esperamos voltar!

We had a lovely week at the house and the surrounding nature. The house was beautifully located, well equipped and clean! Although we had very rainy weather during our stay, we still enjoyed beautiful hikes and the house offered a cosy refuge for us. Would stay here again and would definitely recommend it to anyone else. Thank you for the hospitality António!

This place was so magical. A big group of us came to stay for a half marathon in Aveiro and it was the perfect weekend - the pool was fabulous, the pond was so meditative, the sunrises were beautiful. The rooms were all super comfortable (3 of them en-suites plus additional shared bathrooms) and the kitchen was great to cook in. We were going to have lunch in Aveiro after the race but decided to head back to chill by the pool and have a bbq because it’s such a relaxing place. Plenty of space for everyone. We even had to stay an extra night because of the nationwide blackout and João and his family were so kind and accommodating - in the end we were so grateful we got to spend an extra night in this wonderful place! Can’t recommend highly enough and would love to come back in future.

I so enjoyed my stay in this stunning stone house built by the host's direct relatives! I was truly charmed by the soft tinkling of goats' bells in the pasture, the adorable village dog known and loved by all, a private porch, a crackling fire on a chilly night. This village and it's people are really special, experimenting with organic farming and regularly offering multi-generational events. I was even invited to a village party that included impromptu music, singing and dancing. Self-taught musicians played accordians, guitars and ukuleles while their neighbors & relatives danced. If I moved to Portugal (I wish I could!) I would want to vacation here for a month every year. It's a perfect spot for a writer's retreat, quiet reflection or uninterrupted time together as a couple. The kitchen is a fully functional kitchen, with all the pots, pans, implements and appliances you could possibly need to prepare and serve a meal for 10 (even an immersion blender!)

My family very much enjoyed this unique and calm location in a refurbished mill house. There is a boardwalk across the road that brings you to the village. David was responsive and helpful. Would gladly return.

logement propre et fonctionnel Le restaurant tout prêt est exceptionnel par le prix et la sympathie des propriétaires Nous n'avons pas rencontrer Sandra mais elle était très reactive à nos messages je recommande

Le paradis ! un havre de paix, entouré de la rivière, de la nature. Une maison absolument magnifique et tout confort. Nous nous sommes vraiment ressourcés et notre passage de 3 jours chez Paula a été le notre meilleure expérience au Portugal. Les alentours sont splendides: les petits villages de schiste, la campagne, Coimbra, les maisons des villages aux alentours, les jardins. Nous envisageons un jour de revenir, c'est une maison qui créée des souvenirs !

Le logement est très bien placé. Tout était parfait.

A charming accommodation on top of a hill with a lovely view overlooking the city. Sophia welcomed us warmly and we had a comfortable two night stay.

The apartment was clean, modern and spacious and had everything we needed for a relaxing visit. Several windows gave great views of the gondolas on the canal. Light filled the apartment during tne day but highly effective blackout blinds made sleeping at night a pleasure. We didn't have a car but everything was within walking distance. Walking back and forth to the train station took about 20 minutes each way. The bus stop to catch the public bus to the beach at Costa Nova is just a short walk from the apartment. Both Ely and Fatima were friendly, responsive and helpful. We would love to return some day.

Clean and perfect for families , everything went as expected, we felt at home , thank you

Genial. El edificio es muy moderno. El apartamento es muy cómodo. Tiene todo lo necesario para estar bien. Muchas gracias Belém!!

Muito bom e recomendo

Fomos em quatro pessoas em novembro/2024… Casa limpa , com ótima localização próxima do centro de figueira , próxima de mercado , bairro tranquilo . Quartos arrumados e a comunicação com o anfitrião sempre muito flexível. Recomendo a casa!

Apartamento muito tranquilo, silencio total, limpeza impecável a cama muito confortável o que facilita e muito o descanso. O apartamento fica a 15 minutos a pé das termas que se faz tranquilamente junto ao rio, comunicação foi fácil e rápida, recomendo vivamente a estadia nesta habitação.

Alojamiento perfecto y los dueños realmente envueltos en el proceso de hacerte sentir cómodo en casa, ellos fueron muy buenos y agradables desde el principio hasta el final, les daría mas estrellas pero no se puede, realmente describen lo que vas a vivir y la casa es una maravilla!!!!

This is the second time we visit this paradise! it's so beautiful there, the lake in front of the house, the forest behind the house. So much peace there. If you need some time to relax or enjoy peaceful moments with your family or friends, this is the place for you!

8 of us had an amazing week at Ria Surf House. The pool area was perfect for us adults and kids! Mariana was very helpful and responsive. Fab meals at the snack bar and Casa das Enguias. We didn’t have a car but Mariana put us in touch with a lovely local taxi driver who ensured we could get around when not walking. Also took the train to Porto and Aveiro, great days out. The beach was amazing - a walk through a forest to get there - a wild and remote feel. Many thanks!

Casa muito bonita e confortável, no meio da natureza, anfitriões muito atenciosos. Gostámos muito!

A piece of paradise. A beautiful location, tastfully decorated and a very kind and attentive host. Esmoriz and the surroundings are beautiful, I can highly recommend a stay here.

Ficar hospedado com o Jorge foi uma experiência muito diferente. É um local histórico e numa localização incrível. Tanto o prédio tem sua estrutura física com essas características muito únicas ligadas à historia de Condexa e seu estilo de vida, bem como estar na frente de uma área histórica com mais de 2.000 anos feitas pelos Romanos dá um ar totalmente diferenciado para a hospedagem. Sem contar que a localização é perfeita para quem vai usar de base para rodar a região de Coimbra, Coninbriga, Pombal e outras do entorno. Clima de campo com fácil acesso, excelente localização e uma boa estrutura para uma excelente estadia , e ainda uma comunicação fácil e ágil com o Jorge. Agradecemos a nossa hospedagem. ALOHA!

Espaço fantástico, acolhedor e perfeito para relaxar. Adoramos e vamos voltar certamente. O Luís foi excelente!

Magnifique maison, décorée avec goût, vaste et très propre. Propriétaire très aimable. Située en zone rurale, au bord de la ria Aveiro. Agréable piste piéton et cycliste à 2 pas. Au bord de la lagune. La ville d'Aveiro et les plages océanes à 15 mn de voiture. Maison vraiment top.
