Waterfront vacation rentals in Minho

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

Mariña's apartment is great. Everything is present and it looks fresh and modern. And it's super clean. There is a nice terrace and you can walk into the sea in no time. There is a private parking space in the garage. Mariña takes good care of you with a delicious cake and also gives good tips about restaurants. We will definitely come back when we are in Spain again.

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.

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.

Terrace place is an enchanting part of Gaia. You will immediately feel at home. The apartment is very clean and cosy. Restaurants, markets and vineries are close by. You can do a lot of things on foot but public transport is easy to reach, too, as are boats or the cable car. Communication with Terrace was very quick and efficient. The view over to Porto's Old Town from the sun deck was incredible. We definitely had a great time and will book again whenever we come to Porto.

We loved our stay in Porto! The apartment was beautiful, clean and comfortable, and their instructions were very easy to follow. Having a spot to park our car was also a great perk, especially since you can walk to everywhere from this spot easily. We highly recommend this spot if you’re in Porto!

The apartment is excellent. Very well-equipped, well-kept, modern and clean. Centrally located and very well located to visit the surroundings. Jonatan, a 10 host. Attentive, friendly and attentive to everything. Choosing this apartment has been a success. Thank you very much, Jonatan.

This is a beautiful apartment. Location is good. But this apartment stands out from the others because of the view. It is located on a top floor and it’s got windows all around it and a small balcony.!! highly recommended

Wonderful place ; great hosts.

I spent a glorious month at Maria Celeste’s home. It was simply the best place to reset, connect with nature & rest. I’ve never been to a more peaceful home. Freshly squeezed orange juice (from trees) every morning. Lemons for water. A natural spring to swim off hiking grime. Mountains to climb surrounding the entire home. Lizard & butterfly friends. And so so quiet. Maria Celeste picked me up & drove me to the location. Taxi services available to go to town when needed. I can not recommend staying at this home more. If you need some R’n’R, stay. You won’t regret it.

We had a great time staying here. The garden is a small paradise with many different plants leading to both sunny parts and shaded parts.

Rafael's place is absolutely gorgeous! On arrival, he gave us a warm tour and shared the property's history—fascinating. It's beautifully restored, surrounded by trees offering total privacy. His dad keeps bees nearby (we could’ve visited) and grows cherries, lemons, and oranges—he encouraged us to help ourselves, and they were delicious. The property was perfect for two, with a well-appointed bathroom, living area, and a private pool—compact but fits four comfortably. Rafael was super attentive and responsive, a brilliant host who clearly takes pride in the place. A few minor notes: the pool has no cover or hoover, so needs a quick skim due to nearby trees (his dad cleans it regularly); there are only 3 loungers and 2 extra chairs at the front; and indoor seating isn’t the comfiest for four, with 2 chairs being wicker which differs from the listing. These aren’t real negatives—just things to note. Amazing value and we’d love to return when we're back in the area!

We were quite shocked at how beautiful Paulo’s farm is. My wife and I were more than pleasantly surprised as how expectations were well exceeded. Paulo’s home is on the property but up the hill away from the rental. The pool and pool house are near their house but it still feels very private and comfortable. Paulo was extremely accommodating, gave great recommendations and make us feel more like his personal guests rather than just a normal rental. He checked in occasionally via message to see if we had everything we needed. It was very clear that great pride in the rental and farm was taken. Everything seemed well thought out, and we really appreciated the care the was taken in making us feel special and at him. It was by far the best rental experience we’ve had over the years.

A wonderful stay and so lovely to be this close to the beach. Definitely worth travelling into Porto as limited things to do near the stay. Nevertheless, Paula was such a brilliant host! ♥️

The place is stunning absolutely immaculate and the hosts were extremely accommodating thank you so much for hosting us in this memorable location!

Super friendly and accessible host. Always available to help. The house space is super cozy, great for relaxing and enjoying nature. We recommend it 100%!

It was our second time at Santiago's house, and I'm sure we'll repeat. We felt at home in his apartment, which is very cozy and has everything you need. The building's grounds are delightful, very quiet and with several spaces to enjoy the outdoors. Santiago is waiting for everything to go well. The concierge staff are also very attentive. We'll be back, for sure.

Jose is a great host and surprised us with delicious things in the fridge. The apartment is modern and very tastefully decorated. The kitchen is well equipped... a kettle would still be good... Towels more than sufficient. A Washing machine is available. We were guests for 2 days and felt very comfortable.

Apart from the magnificent views, I would highlight the indescribable tranquility of this dwelling. Inside you feel better than at home, everything you may need is there, you can see the effort to please and welcome the people who are lucky enough to know this house. Appreciable cleanliness. The village is authentic. The surroundings are amazing, and we still have a lot of things to see. Both Carlos and Maria treated us in the best way, with kindness and full availability. In general, nice feelings that we hope to feel again. Thank you.

Had a great time at Alberto’s place. Very easy to get to with clear instructions. Place was very comfy for the two of us. Alberto was very responsive with any inquiries. Thank you so much. We would love to stay again in future.

This is our second time at Sara's place, we are 2 adults and 2 dogs, and we have enjoyed it very much. Sara made sure we were comfortable and everything was perfect, the views are breathtaking and the area is super quiet to disconnect. It is ideal for dogs because the area is completely enclosed and safe, and their dogs are super sociable and playful! We'll definitely repeat it!

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!

Eva was very helpful at all times, we felt right at home, an ideal location in a central and quiet place. We would definitely stay here again!!

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.
