Waterfront vacation rentals in Gondomar

We absolutely loved our stay at Isabel's apartment in Porto! The location was perfect—right in the heart of Ribeira, just steps away from the Douro River, iconic bridges, and charming cafes. Waking up to the view of colorful houses and the river was unforgettable. The apartment itself was spotless, stylish, and cozy, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay—fast Wi-Fi, a well-equipped kitchen, and even some local treats waiting for us (thank you, Isabel!). The bed was super comfortable, and the shower had great water pressure (a big plus after long days of exploring). Isabel was the perfect host—responsive, friendly, and full of great recommendations. She gave us insider tips on the best pastel de nata spots, hidden miradouros (viewpoints), and even a fantastic fado bar that wasn’t touristy. If you’re visiting Porto and want an authentic, central, and delightful place to stay, don’t hesitate—book Isabel’s apartment! We’d return in a heartbeat. Thank you

My husband and I enjoyed a marvelous stay at Art Douro! Great location, stylish decor and efficient kitchen. While it was a bit of a trek to the vibrant area of Nova de Gaia and city of Porto, it was a pleasant walk along the river. We prepared several meals in the kitchen and loved the view while dining from the table in the living room. Evening drinks on the balcony were lovely as we viewed the moon and the lights of Porto glistening on the river. Thank you for the easy check in, prompt communication, and comfortable accommodation!

Nice place right at the beach and about 15/20 from Porto City Center - an easy drive or take an Uber. Plenty of parking upfront. Well thought out rooms and all the amenities - very clean and tidy. Highly recommended!

Very interesting place. Good views of the river. Handy for town and country

Very nice and modern flat that didn‘t leave any wishes open! Extremely warm welcome and great tipps for the area to experience lovely Porto.

This really is an outstanding property, worthy of its 5☆ status. The owners are very welcoming, with lots of local recommendations. The quality of the furnishings, bedding, towels etc go beyond 5 star, and the view from the balcony is amazing, we didn't want to leave. A wonderful stay, in a wonderful city, with amazing hosts, who really go out of their way, to make your stay special. Obrigada.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Isabel and Igor’s apartment with views of the Duoro River. It was exactly as described and stocked with everything we needed. Even though it was in the busy Ribeira area, the apartment was very quiet. We even found a laundromat close by. When we return to Porto we will stay here again.

One of the best Airbnbs I have had the chance to stay in. The views are amazing. The apartment itself is cozy and well-equipped, but it's the panoramic sights over the city and river that truly set it apart. A perfect spot for any length stay in Porto.

Beautiful villa where we spent 4 days with a couple of friends and the children. Breathtaking views and a pool overlooking the Dourau. A perfect stay to visit Porto and its surroundings, the villa has everything and more to feel good. We'll be happy to go back

The house is wonderful, the wonderful view, the pool , boat ride. The silence to rest and the kindness of the people of this paradise was too much. Thank you so much for these wonderful rest days in this piece of paradise. I hope to come back !

This villa exceeded our expectations, and was well appointed to accommodate our needs. We were two families totally 4 adults and 4 kids, and the size was perfect. Outdoor amenities were great, including pool, bathhouse, picnic and barbecue area. The property was very private, and there was a Marina Bar next door that has great food (the burger is one of the best I've had). The only two downsides, which didn't impact my rating was that the wifi didn't work well (I had my own hotspot, and you might want to disconnect) and the beds are firm (seems common in Portugal, because we had a very similar experience at another place). We were looking for a place that was central to northern Portugal, and this worked out great (less then 30 mins to Porto). Being right on the Duro river was very relaxing. We were also able to experience folk dancing (rancho) next door at the marina one night, which was a great cultural experience.

The place was clean and comfortable, in a great location. The host was friendly and helpful. Had a wonderful stay – highly recommended!

Excellent house with great harbor views. Jacuzzi and pool perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing

A great experience! Carolina was always very helpful and concerned and the house is a great space to share with friends and/or family. No doubt I recommend it.

My stay at this beautiful house was absolutely unforgettable, with stunning river views that took my breath away! From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the peaceful surroundings and the warm, welcoming ambiance of the house. The outdoor space was perfect for relaxation—whether lounging by the pool or enjoying a drink as I watched the most beautiful sunset. The host was incredibly accommodating, providing everything needed for a comfortable and seamless experience. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Great stay in Parada, a superb and peaceful place by the river. I would recommned this property

This apartment could not be better located and is exquisitely decorated. Such a great value for the nightly rate. After a little help from our host with the washer/dryer, our stay was seamless. Thanks again and we look forward to our return!!

Pro's: - The view is phenomenal!! - The location is convenient and central (bus and metro stops nearby) - Large bedroom (also a beautiful view!) -Genug Platz - in the kitchen, everything you need is there (a second pot would be nice) -All was clean - There is an elevator (apartment is on the 7th floor) Cons: - The ventilation in the bathroom turns on automatically in the afternoon and does not turn off again until the next morning. It is very loud and looks dirty, and it also gives off an unpleasant smell when it runs. You should always have the bathroom door open for ventilation. No dishwasher - Large and noisy construction site around the corner Overall, I had a great stay and felt comfortable!

We have never experienced such a well-maintained, clean and well-equipped apartment. It corresponds 100% to the photos. There is a large underground parking lot. The landlord Manuel took care of things proactively and asked several times if everything was okay. The location is right on the main beach of Esmoriz, separated only by the waterfront road. However, it should be noted that at the end of August, a fair takes place right in front of the house with corresponding volume in the afternoon and evening.

This is the second time I have stayed at one of Christoph’s properties and once again it did not disappoint. Only a couple of minutes downhill to the Duoro river and the Pont Luis. Amazing restaurants on the doorstep and a great place to wander and discover new things. Loved the place.

Very nice apartment, as described and shown in photos. Antonio is very welcoming and accommodating the view from the apartment is just amazing Antonio's touches like coffee, dishwasher pods and laundry are a very nice addition. i recommend this listing

A magnificent apartment in the modern house, with super nice decor. Very stylishly decorated with Portuguese charm! Everything top and clean! Best location, 1 minute to beach, kiosk, bakery and several restaurants with cheap but great food, where even police officers go out for dinner during their break! To the train station 10 minutes, to Porto about 35 minutes. To Lidl also only about 10 minutes. "Quiet" location but in the middle of the locals, the fishermen provide the rest of the authentic flair! We will be back!

This apartment is spectacular!! It has the feel of a luxury San Francisco penthouse apartment. We could listen to the waves at night. Multiple restaurants are within a 2 block area! While It's not technically IN Porto, it's a very inexpensive Uber ride away...and we saw a lot of the city that way without having to walk! The platform bed setup as one solid bed was a bit challenging for an older couple, but overall, the apartment made it worth the challenge! We'd definitely stay there again!

The apartment is excellent and very well located, with restaurants and bakeries just around the corner. There's a supermarket and public transport right across the street, and you can easily walk to Gaia and Jardim do Morro. Marcos was very friendly and responsive, making communication smooth and easy. Highly recommend!
