We hebben genoten, alles top geregeld, voor herhaling vatbaar.

We felt comfortable from the very beginning Maria welcomed us in the house. She guided us around and showed the ins and outs of the whole house. The house is in a nice area and with all the Portuguese furniture and ornaments we felt very much at home. The very well equipped kitchen made us cook at home all days! We hired cars and the Lidl in Vila do Conde stocked everything we needed. Many sight-seeing destinations are close and we had a difficult time to choose which ones to go to! Whatever your choice is, Porto is not to be missed! Wonderful, but take the train, not the car... Thanks for a wonderful stay!!!!

Beaitiful home, everything is there for a complete holiday, the owner herself was there to welcome us, with natas and port wine and was very helpfull during our stay, the house was very complete in the kitchen there was everything we needed, in the garden there is a small pool, a terrace and chairs to relax or to enjoy a barbecue at night, the beach is a 15 minutes walk also the metro that brings you in 40 minutes to Porto

We've just returned from a 2 week break in this lovely, well maintained, villa. Maria was a welcoming hostess and greeted us with Port and a tasty chocolate cake. Halfway through our break she and her husband came to check on the pool and garden and they were easily contactable had we had any questions. The kitchen and pantry were well stocked and we cooked almost every day. The BBQ outside was perfect for warm evenings when we'd got back from our adventures. The bathrooms were clean and the beds comfortable. The local town is within a 5 minute walk and had several mini supermarkets, a greengrocers, coffee shops, a butchers, fishmongers and pastry shop. It was only a few days into our holiday that we realised just how many of the cafes opened up in the late evening. We only found a couple of local restaurants that were open in the evening - Romandos, which we didn't go to and O Cantinho do Churrasco which is secreted up a little side street and well worth a visit - or 2 ;-) As others have said the Metro is about a 10 minute walk away. We caught the Metro into Porto twice at a cost of around 5 euros return. Just ensure you take note of the station for coming home - we managed to get off at the wrong stop twice the first time we went :-D The beach is a 10 minute walk and you can walk on the walkway into Vila Do Conde (about 15 mins) or, in the other direction to Mindelo Beach and beyond. We hired a car whilst we were there and found the area a perfect base for visiting some of the 'top 10' places mentioned on the 'Go Portugal' website - most within 30 - 60 minutes away by car. All in all a memorable trip. Thank you Maria :-)

we were a family of 7 adults and 1 baby staying together to celebrate a 40th wedding anniversary. The bedrooms were all comfortable and the bathrooms clean and functional. The living space, garden, pool and kitchen were all excellent. Just a note: if you have a toddler this house is not for you as the pool is un-fenced and easy to access from the patio. I would recommend this house for a beach stay with travel to interesting castles and towns. The metro is a long journey into Porto.

Stayed here for a week in late May '18 with my family. Lots of space for us all, including my grown-up kids. Big enough not to get under each others feet. Fully kitted out kitchen and BBQ for nights in. Pool perfect size for kids splashing around. Quiet and clean residential neighbourhood. 10-15 minute walk to Metro stop & beach. Local village 5 minute walk, only the basics here. Vila do Conde is a few stops north on the Metro and is a lot bigger. Very nice beach front & restaurants. But the star attraction is of course downtown Porto, around 40 minutes by Metro which runs from 6AM-2AM. What a vibrant city! Plenty to see, activities, eat & drink. Maria was a friendly, attentive host and I would recommend the house to all. Yes it's a fair way from downtown Porto but trust me you'll be thankful of the peace, quiet and relaxation the house offers.

Maria was a really kind host. We even got some cake and portwine when we arrived. The house is exactly as described, and the metro is just a 10 minutes walk. The beach is also just 10 minutes away. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the house, if you´re looking for a good time in Porto. Some students from saarbrücken

Unser Aufenthalt - 2 Ehepaare u. eine Einzelperson - an der Altantikküste hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Die Strände sind sehr weitläufig. Sonnenschein hatten wir genügend. In geschützten Lagen waren es immer so um die 25 Grad, doch leider war der Wind so stark, dass wir nur ganz kurz mit den Füßen im Wasser waren. Auch bei Spaziergängen am Meer war es von Vorteil sich etwas die Arme zu hängen. Die Villa war top. Sie ist liebevoll eingerichtet, es fehlt an nichts. Was toll ist, dass zu jedem Schlafzimmer ein eigenes Bad gehört. Die Hauseigentümer Frau Maria Cunha u. Ehemann sind sehr zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Der Tipp mit dem Zug nach Porto zu fahren, war toll. Wir waren gleich 2 mal in der Woche dort. Es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall!!! Schöne Lokale, in denen man gemütlich essen kann, liegen direkt am Fluss Duoro. Was uns auch sehr gut gefallen hat, war die Stadt Guimarez. Dazu braucht man aber einen Mietwagen. Guimarez hat eine sehr schöne historische Altstadt. Am besten sich gleich einen Stadtplan im Tourismuspoint von Guimarez besorgen. Wir können das Haus nur weiterempfehlen, sehr gemütlich innen wie außen.

Wir waren mit 5 Personen 14 Tage in Vila do conde. Gereizt hatte uns die Nähe zu Porto und gleichzeitig zum Strand. Wir wurden sehr freundlich von unserem Vermietern mit einem guten Kuchen und einer Flasche Portwein begrüßt. Die Kommunikation in Englisch verlief einfach. Sie waren für uns jederzeit per SMS erreichbar. Eine gebrochene Fensterangel wurde am darauffolgenden Tag sofort repariert. Auch eine Unstimmigkeit in der Buchung konnte sehr schnell und unkompliziert bereinigt werden. Sie stellten uns auch 5 Metrokarten zur Verfügung, die wir dann auch für eine Fahrt nach Porto genutzt haben. Das System ist analog zur deutschen Wabensystematik. Man muß die Tarifzone kennen und dann auf die Karten laden. Wir haben dies in einem Tabakladen mit Hilfe einer Verwandten gemacht. Das Haus ist einem guten Zustand. Alles was man braucht ist da. Die Einrichtung ist sehr liebevoll und stielvoll und man merkt dem Haus an, dass die Vermieter dort selber einmal gewohnt haben. Soweit ich es überblicken kann, waren die Betten (resp. Matratzen ziemlich neu). Der Pool war sehr wichtig, da wir in den 14 Tagen entweder aufgrund der Wassertemperatur oder des starken Windes, nur am oder zaghaft im Wasser waren. Der windgeschützt liegende Pool reichte vollkommen aus um unsere Kinder zu beschäftigen. Größere Supermärkte (Lidl) gibt es in Vila do Conde, die leider nur über eine staubelastete Brücke zu erreichen sind. Dort gibt es auch gute Restaurants für jeden Geschmack. Ausflugsziele gibt es in fast unbegrenzter Zahl in der näheren Umgebung - Porto natürlich vorneweg. Wir hatten uns für die Dauer des Aufenthalts einen Mietwagen genommen. Hier ist unbedingt zu empfehlen ein Mautgerät mit zu mieten, da man ansonsten die Maut nur bei der Post bezahlen kann und dies erst 48 Stunden nach der letzten Fahrt. Für unseren nächsten Portugalurlaub würde ich dieses Haus sofort wieder buchen. Danke an Maria Cunha und ihren Mann!

Wir wurden sehr herzlich von Maria und ihrem Mann empfangen und sie zeigte uns alles nötige inklusive U-Bahn und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Das Haus hat uns sehr gut gefallen, wir fühlten uns wohl, und der Pool ist gut. Einzig die Betten waren etwas kurz und nicht so bequem (Federmatratzen). Leider spielte das Wetter nicht so mit, es war mit knapp über 20 Grad etwas kühl. Doch das tolle Haus hatte genügend Platz, um sich auch drinnen zu verweilen!!

La casa es grande, luminosa y espaciosa. No es nueva pero las habitaciones que utilizamos (2) estaban bien equipadas, quizá echamos de menos algún enchufe en la más grande (viajamos con tanta electrónica...). El jardín precioso y cuidado, un espacio especialmente agradable para pasar ratos de reposo y lectura. María y su esposo muy amables y diligentes. Un placer.

This is an excellently maintained traditional house in a very peaceful area. Maria and her husband greeted us warmly and provided us with a bottle of port wine and a lovely chocolate sponge cake. We enjoyed the large patio area, with trailing Bougainvillea, which looks out on the garden and pool, while enjoying a barbecue. The location is great for driving visits to nearby Guimaraes, etc which offer some beautiful days out. The beach is also nearby. There are also places to eat or drink within walking distance and a nearby metro that can be reached on foot as well. We had a lovely relaxing time and would not hesitate to stay again, as there are many places that we didn't get time to visit.

This is a charming, clean and spacious house in a very quiet suburb of Vila do Conde. It's ideally located for touring around northern Portugal with easy access to the motorway. It is situated just a 15 minute drive from Porto airport. Very happy to recommend.

We spent a great holiday with 2 families in this attractive villa. The house is very comfortable with plenty space for (small) children. It is very well kept and with a nice homly appearance.There ist everything you need for daily living and cooking (incl. bbq). A fireplace in the house for cold evenings is prepared. We loved the short distances to the beaches and other places around, especially to Porto.

We went to Porto for a 1 week stay and we found this beach house for rent. It was the beginning of a wonderful experience. We were 2 families for a total of 9 people where most of us were adults. The house is very spacious and with one bathroom in each room and everyone slept well during our stay. Located North of Porto, it's perfectly located to visit the main cities South like Porto and Villa nova de Gaia and the ones in the North like Guimaraes, Braga, Viana do Castelo, Ponte de Lima. The kindness of the owners is also something. They had given us a mini overview of things to do in the area which was worth a lot. The only down side of this part of Portugal is the cold ocean water, thanks to the pool in the back yard to compensate! I would suggest this place for a very nice stay in the Porto region. From 2 families that enjoyed every minute of their vacation in Portugal.
