Villa vacation rentals in Vila Nova de Gaia

Amazing hosts! Patricia speaks English and even though her dad does not, he went out of his way to connect through many kind acts. He would bring baked goodies every morning and several times drove us places, including back from the airport when we returned our car. They also left us lots of food, including milk, eggs from their hens, produce from their garden, water, wine, beer, cookies, cheese, prosciutto etc. Before buying groceries, I would check in to see what they have stocked you with. A few things to note: the 2nd bathroom is only a half bathroom with toilet, no shower; the place is compact, particularly for 3 people, and the second room does not have a window; the air conditioning is only in the living room, which might matter in summer (but it’s a stone house so keeps relatively cool). Lastly, the place is 7 mins walk to the metro and a further 15 mins to the historic centre. Patricia gave us 3 metro cards, to be refilled. Tip: it’s hilly;use bus to go from river to metro

The house is what you see in the photos, clean, cozy and the backyard makes all the difference! I recommend it!

Luisa was very nice, the house is very comfortable for families and is fully equipped. It is easy to get there by vehicle.

The accommodation was ideal for our group of friends, well located for visiting Porto, either with transport that is not far away, or with Uber. The hosts have always been very responsive, and a great help, everything went well from check-in to check-out. Thank you!

Marta hosted us wonderfully. She is extremely responsive, and gave us a lot of good advice. She is very available and very helpful. It's so nice to stay at a home with such a warm host! The place is typical, and adorably decorated! It had everything you needed for breakfast, Thank you for everything

Mrs. Rodrigues is a very kind person, we had a nice welcome. The very clean accommodation is very pleasant, very well-equipped... we felt pleasantly at home. A big thank you. Mrs. Da Silva. Pellegrino Gilberte.

Very clean, located right in the historic district. Comfortable bed, and private patio area to eat outside. JP is responsive and helpful!

Beautiful accommodation and very friendly hosts!

Casa located in a quiet place ideal for a group or family vacation. All rooms are suites, which is a bright spot for bathroom privacy. The beds are super comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped and has everything you need at the level of appliances (toaster, coffee machine (delta), microwave, dishwasher) as well as dishwasher for a group of 10 people. The whole decoration is very beautiful and thought out. Outside spaces are large and well arranged, the space for the barbecue is impeccable. It is undoubtedly a place to visit again!

The house is super well equipped and cared for. All rooms (the 8) have a toilet. Luisa is super nice and let us check out a little later. The only negative point was the pool being shared with the other house, otherwise everything was perfect :)

The house is an old property full of charm, the pool area is very friendly and well thought out. Very nice stay for 13 people

We spent a few days with the handballteam in porto and we had enough space for all of us. the appartement had everything we needed and the communication with the owner was easy, fast and very helpfull. we can only recommend.

We had a great stay at this apartment! It was clean, comfortable, and in a convenient location. The host was super nice and very helpful, making the experience even better. Highly recommend!

Staying at Quinta dos Moinhos was truly a dream come true for us. Not only was it the perfect setting for our wedding, but the property and the views were simply unforgettable. The home is absolutely stunning and one of a kind, nestled in a peaceful and picturesque location, with breathtaking views and a rich family history. Every detail of the home is filled with character, and you can feel the care and pride that has gone into preserving the home and the surrounding nature. Diogo was an exceptional host - warm, welcoming, and incredibly responsive. He even hopped on a Facetime call so we could see the property firsthand and feel more confident about our decision! Diogo is just a genuinely kind person, and from the moment we arrived he made us feel completely at ease. His hospitality and kindness were especially meaningful during such a special time in our lives. We couldn’t ask for a more special place to celebrate, and we are already looking forward to the day we can return!

From now on, thank you for the sympathy and the way we were received. The air conditioning worked very well on the cold nights we spent there. All very easy and practical for those looking to eat at home. A Good Years for everyone. Best regards Paulo Ferreira

excellent property and host

Great place to stay was clean and relaxing and the pool was great for the family. The host was very helpful and friendly, informed us of local restaurants and events in the area including a medieval festival that was taking place whilst we were there. Communication was easy, was more than happy to help. Thank you again!

Very nice place. It's relaxing, quiet, we enjoyed the huge garden with our children and our little girl. Everything is true to the listing description. The pool was perfect for the end of the day. We had a pleasant stay.

We felt at home from the first minute and enjoyed the peace and quiet very much. The pool is a huge plus and enhances the accommodation! The amenities in the kitchen leave nothing to be desired. Clear recommendation!

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.

Everything is perfect both staff and facilities. We will be back for sure. Thank you very much Pedro.

The Villa was clean, super spacious and equipped with everything you might need. Just a 2 min walk from the beach, with a bakery and some restaurants also close by. Everything worked out just perfect and we had no complaints and Clara responded to messages relatively quickly. We really enjoyed the Villa and our stay. The only issue was communicating with the person who we had to contact when we needed something once we stayed at the Villa, response to our questions was usually late.

Good stay, it’s two houses connected into one villa. There are multiple storeys but for a big group it was ideal. Also walkable distance to Porto train station!

the place is very spacious, well equipped - you will find everything you need there. we came there and it is bad weather, so they turned on the heating - and this is something you rarely find in Portugal.
