Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Matosinhos

A wonderful place to relax and unwind! The place has everything you need, very well equipped kitchen. The home's biggest plus is the proximity to the ocean, you can watch the sunset from the terrace. Mum really enjoyed it, would definitely go to this house again! A bit of joy was spoiled by the cleaning staff, the woman was unkind, it gave us a dscomfort before leaving on her own. We had an unloaded trashcan left on which we were pointed out and told to take it off, adding, you may not already be taken away, but then let's raise the cleaning fee. But the house itself, location and hostess - everything was wonderful!

Our stay went perfectly. The house is ideally located close to the beach. Very pleasant stay and Ruca was very attentive. I would recommend it in a second.

Our stay was amazing. We went to Grijó for a wedding and the location couldn't be more perfect. Emília was an amazing host, super available, attentive and of a giant sympathy! The house, besides the excellent cleaning, is very welcoming and is equipped with everything we need and something else :) all the corners were thought to detail with a lot of love and affection, both inside and outside that is also very pleasant ! And it's impossible not to feel the good energy ❤️ We sincerely thank you for your attention and look forward to coming back!

We had a wonderful stay at this property for a long weekend away with friends. The house was even better than it appeared in the photos - incredibly spacious, good sized pool out the back, plenty of sun-loungers. There were great spaces for everyone to be together - but plenty of room for people to relax away from the group. The journey into Porto was very easy and affordable by Uber and no issues delivering food in. Check in was flexible and easy, with the host welcoming us and explaining how everything worked. We also didn’t realise until just before that breakfast was included - and everyday we woke to a huge selection of breads, fruit, cheese, meats, pastries and cereal! Really could not fault either the host or the home we stayed in. 10/10 in every aspect and I would definitely stay here again in the future.

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 great time at Joshua's place. The listing is exactly as described and is conveniently located for visiting Porto. We particularly enjoyed the garden, the swimming pool, the welcome and the assistance of Josue's parents and, especially during the power outage that affected the area for more than 8 hours! Thanks to the BBQ, the restaurants remaining closed for lack of electricity, we were able to grill and feed our family of 10…our grandchildren also enjoyed the friendly presence of the pony, the goats and the pig in the pens of the garden. We would recommend this lovely listing.

This apartment was even more beautiful than the photos. It had absolutely everything you could need. Very comfortable beds. The host was very responsive and kindly greeted us at check in and provided tips and recommendations as needed. Highly recommended!

Our family (4&3 yo) had a lovely stay. The space is large for the kids to play. It is a space which allows play time and games with no TV, something of a blessing. The bedrooms are close by to each other but provide privacy so not to disturb each other. The hosts are wonderful, we arrived late but José still took the time to greet us and provide essentials to save us having to go shopping. Our kids really enjoyed their time with José and his home.

Our first family holiday with 2 young children - we absolutely loved our time at Filipe's and hope to return next year. The apartment is spacious and made us feel like we were at home. We enjoyed using the pool and tennis court/football picth with the kids. There are beautiful beaches within walking distance, and so many amazing restaurants serving excellent food. Filipe was very helpful and responsive to our many questions, and his hosting skills were much appreciated. We did not have any problems, but if we did - we would have felt safe with Filipe! Thank you for everything, Filipe.

The apartment had good accomodations. Little bit of a walk to get to the core of the city, but surrounding area is nice. Supermarket and pharmacy down the road from the apartment

So happy we stumbled on this place! The hosts were so sweet and showed us the best spots. The location was amazing and it was perfect for 4 of us. I would love to be able to stay here again!

We had a lovely stay at the apartment. Very spacious and well equipped. We would stay here again.

We LOVED this place - a perfect city view from the window, vaulted ceilings made it feel even bigger (and is already spacious), beds were comfortable and the location is excellent. Alex gave us great recommendations to avoid touristy areas to eat. We would absolutely stay here again!

Great welcome with Porto and juice, great location 50m from the metro and bus, accommodation a little outdated but perfectly in line with the photos so no surprises, only small downside the mezzanine staircase is very steep. Thank you Carlos for the welcome in very good French and for the good advice on restaurants, things to do.

The apartment was spotlessly clean, with modern and newly furnished interiors. The location was excellent — close to everything, and there was a great supermarket just around the corner. The internet was super fast, which was a big plus. It would have been even better with an elevator, but hey, you’re in the land of hills after all! :) All in all, a very comfortable and pleasant stay.

The accommodation is phenomenal. It has a well done renovation, remaining spacious and comfortable stays. Great views of the Douro River. Very good attention received by the host. I recommend it 100%!

We stayed for more than a week at Manuela's place and had a great time. Manuela and her son Daniel were very welcoming from the check-in till then end of the stay (thanks for the delicious port wine!). The house is better than the pictures - cozy living room, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and lovely garden ... with a hot tub! Porto old city is 20mins drive, Aveiro is 40mins and Douro Valley is around 1.20mins from the place. There is a lovely restaurant by the river around 500mts away. Steep down and uphill walk but amazing views and very good traditional Portugese food. Good to have own transport (you can park inside or on the street) but there is a bus stop just few feet away from the house (we didn't use it as we had our own car). Overall a lovely stay. Thanks Manuela and Daniel for hosting us!

Very nicely furnished. Beautiful flower garden in patio area. Kitchen contained all necessary items.

Had a great time in Marie’s place. She welcomed us really well sharing local places we could go to to shop or eat, and recommendation for Porto. Very easy to check in and flexible which was great. The house is very big with all amenities, and a very nice area by the swimming pool. Thanks again !

Renovated in 2015, the house has three bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms. It was a great place to stay for a week to view Porto and surroundings. Reception was extremely friendly, very warm. The house features a beautiful terrace, a (unheated) infinity pool with beautiful views over the valley and Duoro and features a (clean!) Weber BBQ. Lots of privacy to enjoy with your company outside. 15-20 Mbps internet sufficient to prepare you digitally for a day trip. Despite the fact that the fire alarm system was not completely stable, the owner has done everything possible to improve this during our stay. For a stay just outside Porto with peace and space, this is a great location.

Really nice stay, the house is fantastic and Manu was a super kind and attentive host.

Beautiful home with truly unbeatable views. The rooms were very spacious and well laid out. The home was very well appointed and had everything needed and then some. Close to Porto (easy and affordable uber ride into town) and attractions within Gaia. Stayed with 6 adults and 2 infants and the space worked super well and seems versatile for all types of groups. Clare was responsive throughout booking and arrival. There was some franticness during check in around the AC but only a minor hiccup and all was resolved quickly.

Daniel and Katrina are already good friends. They are good people, easy to communicate and very helpful. They were impeccable in welcoming my family into their home. I highly recommend them!

Beautiful, comfortable, well-equipped chalet in stunning location. And it’s got air-con! Fantastic launching pad to explore Porto and the Douro but you might not want to leave the pool.
