A one of a kind house; incredible location. Hope to come back.
Home in Santa Marinha do Zezere
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 134 reviewsCasa de Mirão
We were making last minute reservations on our road trip and were lucky enough to get 3 nights at Casa de Mirão due to a cancellation. We wanted a spot with a river view ✅ private ✅ stylish ✅. The location was ideal- on a working farm ( picking the sweet tangerines was such a treat as was the their fresh honey that was gifted to us. ) Rafael met us on arrival and gave us all the information about the house and the area. I loved that it was gorgeous to sit outside and enjoy the view of the Douro and that those same views could be enjoyed from inside the home with the large windows, doors and walls of glass. The beds were very comfortable with nice linens. The bathroom was spacious. The living/ dining / kitchen area was comfortable and well appointed. The house had its lovely original features like the stone walls and the renovations are very handsome. Rafael messaged during our stay to check if we were ok and if we needed anything. A great stay and location to explore the region.
Home in Barqueiros
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 462 reviewsQuinta Barqueiros D`Ouro - Casa do Douro
Elda's place was peaceful and relaxing. The views were amazing. There were many places throughout the property to put up your feet with a good book and relax. The private tasting tour hosted by Elda's son was very interesting. He was very knowledgeable about quintas and the history of the area. This was a great experience. We would really recommend this location to anyone!

We had a lovely stay at the cute house. The owner welcomed us heart warmingly and even left some treats for us, like his homemade Madeira wine... Recommend to stay there!
Home in Sete Cidades
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 157 reviewsAzores Best Casa dos Barcos
Staying in this boathouse was a true highlight of our visit to Portugal. We woke up every day to a stunning sunrise, enjoying a quiet coffee with the doors wide. We often walked five minutes through the lovely gardens to the bridge between Lagoa Azul and Lagoa Verde—an incredible view that most visitors can only experience for the few minutes their bus tour stops there. We could enjoy it at dawn, sunset, in the fog, in the sunshine, and whenever else we wanted. Or we could just wander the gardens or read a book by the lake. If we felt like going out, the boathouse was only a short drive from the thermal hot springs in Ferraria and many of the scenic overlooks on everyone's to-do list. This place and its idyllic surroundings are magical! Highly recommend!
Home in Mosteiros
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 113 reviewsSea Roots - Sea zone
This was a beautiful place to stay right by the sea, the island is easily drivable, so we were able to explore the entire island while we stayed there. The night sky was so clear and incredible, we got to see multiple shooting stars. The sea view and sunsets were impeccable. Tania left us a very nice little basket of espresso, milk and juice which was a great touch.

Susana was an awesome host and the place was very comfortable and had absolutely everything we needed. Very well equipped. The check-in was great, all instructions were very clear. Susana was very helpful whenever we needed anything. We had a wonderful stay. I recommend her place without any hesitation. Thank you Susana! Obrigada.

Rental unit in Porto
5 out of 5 average rating, 248 reviewsSeasideStudio - know Porto without giving up beach
The „Seaside Studio“ is a highly recommendable accommodation. Its location is perfect, since you can easily and quickly reach Porto in 20 min by bus but at the same time can enjoy the ocean front view and gorgeous sunsets from your own personal terrace. The studio is extremely clean and spacious. You also have direct access to the beach for walks or swimming. The kitchen is well equipped with all necessary utensils. Bakeries, grocery shops and restaurants are close by. The hosts Pedro and his wife are incredibly kind and very quick to help you with any problem or question you may have. They offered us numerous good tips. This is hospitality at its best! You are guaranteed to have a memorable stay.
Rental unit in Porto
5 out of 5 average rating, 225 reviewsWONDERFULPORTO SUPERIOR VIEW PLUS
Great location, within walking distance to all the spots. Maria met us and provided amazing recommendations (the market was incredible and don’t forget to walk over the bridge to Gaia!!). She also left a bottle of wine and some port, a very welcoming touch. The suite had a great view and close to everything. The suite was so clean, and so many nice touches like robes. Maria was an amazing host and I would definitely stay there again!!
Rental unit in Peniche
4.84 out of 5 average rating, 225 reviewsOn the Beach Living with Ocean View
Our stay at Nuno's was just perfect. Waking up to the sound of the sea and falling asleep again was simply fantastic. He was always quick to respond to messages and proactively made sure everything was okay.
Rental unit in Lisboa
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 729 reviewsLisbon rooftop with terrace and stunning views
Lucy was super responsive and her flexibility for luggage drop off and storage is much appreciated. The accommodation is spotless. Seriously good cleaning. The host has three cats! We enjoyed petting and spotting the cats. Would stay again. Both my partner and I have fear of heights, but we managed the stairs fine.
Rental unit in Salir de Matos
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 264 reviewsTorre Branca Apt, Caldas da Rainha, Silver Coast
Linda and John's place was spacious, clean and very comfortable. A well equipped kitchen. We loved the fresh orange juice and coffee. The hosts were very welcoming and made sure we felt comfortable. The house is calm and in a peaceful setting bit also so easy to drive into Caldas da Rainha and Óbidos.
Rental unit in Lagos
4.9 out of 5 average rating, 233 reviewsPenthouse Praia Dª Ana By Algarving
Beautiful and perfect place to relax, rest and explore! The sea view is astounding. The place is very clean lined, modern and stripped free of any clutter but natural decor only. If anything it may be a little too stream lined in that only hand soap is provided, a few laundry and dishwasher soaps, no bath gel/soap. There was salt, but no pepper or cooking oil. There is a large grocery store just up the road. The place is very clean and very comfortable beds and relaxing couches. The exterior patio is a wonderful place to read and take in the sea breeze and sea birds. Restaurants were fabulous nearby if you did not want to walk into old city center. We found it was hard to say good bye!

Fantastic host- fantastic experience! Thank you!
Cottage in Viana do Castelo
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 382 reviewsCasa do Rio - Beach and Mountains
This place is incredible! We stayed for 5 nights and didn't want to leave. The location is great for walking, with endless exploring opportunities straight from the door, and is only a short drive from beautiful beaches (we visited Praia da Arda and Praia de Afife). However, we were extremely happy spending many of our days at the house, swimming in the river, reading, cooking, enjoying the peaceful location and beautiful views. Previous reviews were very helpful in knowing what to expect and, as mentioned by another guest, it would be difficult to get here without a car. There are no shops, cafes or restaurants within walking distance, but we arrived with plenty of groceries and found the kitchen so well equipped that we opted to eat in every night. We loved our stay here and are already thinking of a return visit.
Shipping container in Dornelas
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 287 reviewsRelax Container
We had a wonderful stay at Roberto’s container. It’s an excellent choice for anyone looking to connect with nature without giving up comfort and simplicity. The space is perfect for a relaxing getaway, surrounded by lush greenery. Located in a private area, the container offers exclusive access, parking, and privacy with trees around. The porch, hammock, jacuzzi, and nearby stream create an ideal space for relaxation. The space is clean and well-organized, with thoughtful touches like a Bluetooth speaker, quality linens, kitchenware, and games that enhanced our stay. Breakfast was fresh, local, and delivered to our door, making it a perfect touch! Additionally, the local products available for purchase, such as drinks and snacks, were of excellent quality and tastefully curated. Roberto is a thoughtful host, providing clear information upfront. Communication was quick and smooth, making it easy to resolve any issues. Highly recommended!
Cottage in Jardim Do Mar
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 162 reviewsStonelovers® (Heated Pool Optional) - Unit3
Possibly the best holiday accommodation I have ever been to. Private, relaxing and simply beautiful. Jardim do Mar is remote enough to feel almost undiscovered and still very genuine, weather was always on our side and the sunsets were to die for. A bit far to get to the best hiking trails but still worth it considering the feel when you’re back. Hosts are absolutely lovely - we even got some bananas from their tree as a surprise one day on top of all the goodies left in the apartment. Really top notch and incredible value for money. We’ll be back !
Cottage in Santana
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 323 reviewsCedro - A cottage surrounded by nature!
Very nice and helpful host! The property is very remote and is a bit difficult to reach, but you can only drive 15 minutes to the pico arriero.
Hut in Valongo
4.87 out of 5 average rating, 104 reviewsSpringfield Lodge
Absolutely amazing secluded and private place! Would love to return in summer as the cabin also has some lovely outdoor features.
Villa in Lagos
5 out of 5 average rating, 113 reviewsCasa Limão - Inspired to be authentic
Casa Limão is a true gem! The house itself is beautifully designed, blending charm with comfort, and feels like a perfect home away from home. The location couldn't be better – nestled close to the historic center of Lagos, which is an absolute must-see with its rich history, vibrant streets, and unique charm. Just a short distance away, there’s an incredible beach that might just be one of the most stunning in the world, with breathtaking views and pristine sands. Ricardo was an exceptional host, going above and beyond to make our stay special. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the best of Lagos!

Your guide to Portugal
All About Portugal
With historic cities, extravagant castles, idyllic beaches, and a renowned food and wine, Portugal offers visitors myriad memorable experiences. In the capital city of Lisbon, you’ll find incredible street art-covered buildings as well as historical landmarks like the 16th-century Tower of Belém — a UNESCO World Heritage site. St. George’s Castle towers over the city, while the spectacular neo-Gothic Santa Justa Lift rises above the rooftops for stunning views. Lisbon is famous for pastéis de nata, custard pastries created by Catholic monks in the 18th century, and people line up out the door of the local bakeries for the delicious treats.
Porto is Portugal’s second city, and its old town — which is a designated UNESCO Heritage site — is lined with cobbled streets, ornate churches, and beautifully tiled buildings decorated with distinct blue and white tiles called azulejos. It’s also the place to sample the country’s most famous wine, port.
On the west coast, you’ll find the narrow streets and opulent palaces of Sintra, while in the north, you can explore picturesque waterways from inside a gondola in Aveiro. The island of Madeira boasts incredible landscapes and charming villages, as well as fresh seafood and delicious Madeira wine. And you’ll find some of Europe’s finest beaches in the Algarve in southern Portugal, with stunning limestone rock formations that tower over the sand.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Portugal
Portugal experiences year-round sunshine, so anytime is a great time to secure a vacation rental in a city or along the coast. Depending on the region, though, the weather each season can vary. In the south, the Algarve enjoys long, hot summers and short, mild winters. Lisbon experiences hot summers and rainy winters, while in Porto and the north, summers are hot and winters can get chilly. Spring and fall are pleasant throughout the country, with warm days and mild evenings.
Portugal hosts festivals and events all year round. Carnivale takes over Lisbon in February with street acts, costumes, and parades. In May, the streets of Madeira are covered in flowers for the Flower Festival. Towns and cities come alive for the Santos Festivities (Celebration of the Popular Saints) in June with parades, traditional street dances, and fresh sardines. And in September, Porto celebrates Port Wine Day, with plenty of festivities spotlighting the famous drink.
Top things to do in Portugal
Sintra
Less than an hour from Lisbon, the town of Sintra features picturesque villas, palaces, and castles. Visit the ancient ruins of the Castle of the Moors, dating back to the eighth century. See the stunning architecture of the Regaleira Palace and Gardens and Monserrate Palace with its subtropical gardens. The highlight of the town, sitting high on a hill, is the spectacular pastel-painted Pena’s Palace — a former summer retreat for the royal family surrounded by lovely pine forests.
Lagos
The Algarve town of Lagos sits at the southernmost tip of the country and features beautiful pristine beaches and the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Ancient Moorish walls circle the town center, which is home to lovely squares full of cafes and shops. A highlight is Ponta da Piedade headland south of the town — a series of dramatic cliffs featuring incredible naturally formed grottos and sea caves.
Obidos
In the west, the town of Obidos is protected by an imposing eighth-century fortified wall. Walk through it into the town to find a magnificent medieval castle and ornate churches. The cobbled streets are full of vibrant squares with cafes, shops, and markets alongside whitewashed houses. The town is famous for its Medieval Festival in July, featuring jugglers, wandering minstrels, jousting knights, and a bounty of meat on offer.
