Big house for 6/9pax in Vila Real
Excellent stay for several families with kids. The estate is beautiful and well maintained, the pools are nice to cool off in during a heat wave. The hospitality is perfect. The price in season may be scary at first but the house, the estate and the kindness of the employees justifies it. We'll be happy to go back! Thanks Inès (and Angela)

Happy house in Lagoa de Albufeira
Awesome stay in Catarina’s house. The house is really well equiped. Quiet area and a lot of things to do around.

Housy2 between Beach & Mountain
Candida was lovely and at check in, gave up local knowledge and tour of house, which was clean and very functional. They had a hair dryer, nice when traveling to not need your own or worry with voltage and a small space heater which was nice for our unusually cold days. There's two bedrooms, one with a comfortable bed (not too firm or too soft) and one that was a bit thinner and softer, so you have options! There was an induction stove top and microwave with a convection feature, good for warming things though probably not good for baking. The only con was unfortunately the towels and sheets are washed in a strongly scented detergent-common for Portugal but still bothersome. The location has great parking very close and free and is in a lovely neighborhood.

Araujo House
The house is impeccable, clean, well-equipped with linens, towels, heaters in all environments. A beautiful view, the super-sounding hosts, took fresh breads every morning of their stay. It had coffee, milk and butter available as well. The super cozy house, my family and I love the days spent there. Recommend with eyes closed

Rustic House with Pool & Jacuzzi -Arouca Portugal
When the wildfires created anxiety and uncertainty about our stay in Casa Rustica, Elisabete took care of everything; she provided a safe haven until there was no further risk in the Rossas area. Thank you so much, Elisabete, you did everything to reassure us and make us comfortable. As for Casa Rustica, it's absolutely wonderful - gorgeous pool, Jacuzzi, relaxing living spaces and a well-equipped kitchen; the garden is lush with fruit and there are beautiful views from the balconies. Thanks to Sandra, too, for a great show-around and providing on-the-spot help if needed. In a nutshell, all fab!

Home Sweet Home
We very much enjoyed our stay. Our group of 5 liked the ability to spread out a bit on this 3 bedroom house, and the 2 bathrooms minimized the congestion getting ready in the morning. We liked the private parking inside the property, but since we had a rental that was a little larger and without the greatest turning ratio, we opted to just park on the street rather than negotiate with the driveway. We always found a spot in front of the church next door. Totally equipped kitchen and proximity to supermarkets gave us a break from eating out all the time and a chance to enjoy the property's great backyard. Carla was very helpful, easy going, and the house was spotless. The area is not in the heart of any action, but still only a few minutes drive away from anything, and it was fine by us (in fact, we preferred it). There is a convenient little market literally under the second floor great for essentials. Amazing place, and we were grateful for Carla for the opportunity to stay in it.

Moradia Surf/House near Supertubos Beach Peniche
Very large house with private pool and really huge roof terrace. There were only two of us here, there are beds for 6 people and 2 bathrooms. There is a garage for the car, also enough parking space in front of the house. For surfing: only 10 minutes by car to Baleal and Supertubos is even closer. Thanks to Celia for the wonderful time!

My House - Charming Home
The first thing to mention was how friendly and helpful Carlos was. The pictures show something of the beautiful grounds though not too many of the inside. Actually the house itself was very comfortable and the stairs were no problem. Nice to be able to do a load of laundry. One reviewer mentions problem with a low bathroom ceiling but this is really not an issue. It’s a very peaceful and quiet environment and if the weather was more cooperative we would have loved to stay longer and hike the hills.
Apartments in Portugal

Casa da Catedral - historic center
Very nice hosts. We liked very much this accommodation.

GracefulDuplex • TimeOutMarket • AC•Lift•Parking
Really enjoyable space , very light, and easy walking distance to the centre of Lisbon.

Avenida Boutique Apartments II
It was great location - the apartment was kept well and had all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay.

Lisbon City Center Apartment
We had such a great stay in the apartment. It is clean and well equipped - exactly as the photos, close to a good sized Lidl and a Metro station. The beds were warm and comfy and the shower was hot with good pressure. The apartment was very easy to find, the instructions for getting in were clear and the host was very kind and informative throughout our stay.

Lovely Apartment - In Porto
we stayed 4 nights in this apartment, and visited Porto almost exclusively on foot. the metro station is 150 meters away for those who want to get around by public transport. 3 bakeries 5min walk to have hearty breakfast, and several restaurants on the street of the apartment. we really enjoyed our stay! (Street a little noisy at night because a lot of cars are passing)

Englishinhos Convento 3 - Bright Apartment
Very wonderful stay - clean, beautiful, bright, and love the big windows. Even received a kind gift of wine to welcome me and my partner! Host was communicative and accommodated our earlier check-in. Provided us recommendations for places to visit and travel tips. Accessible area that is a walk away from the metro. Would recommend to bring ear plugs and sleeping mask as others have mentioned as it can get noisy during the day and very bright in the morning. Overall, very wonderful stay!

DOWNTOWN DESIGN APARTMENT – S. Domingos
I can’t rave enough about the view - the big windows that overlook into the city with the church buildings feels like something out of a movie! The pictures don’t do it justice, it looks even better in real life. The location is so central. It is walkable to pretty much all of the major attractions of Porto. We loved listening to the buskers in the evening, as they performed to the restaurants below. They wrap up at 10 PM every night so we were able to get a good nights rest. The apartment is beautifully decorated and the furniture is comfortable. There is also an elevator for easy access after long days of walking! We plan to visit Porto again and I will definitely try to book this place again because it is so so wonderful.

Cardosas.Apar.Gavina
Had a fantastic stay at Manuel's place. Perfectly located, central, large and spacious, well equipped and topped off with a fantastic balcony view. Could not have been more satisfied with my choice. Highly recommend. I would certainly return.

House Historic Center 5min to beach
Guiomar was very responsive to my messages. The house is close to many, many excellent restaurants and a couple minutes walk to the beach. Also, it's in easy walking distance of a major supermarket and the train station. The place, including the kitchen, is well equipped for a large group. It well-facilitated our multi-generational family vacation. The light and view from the top floor and patio are lovely, I enjoyed the sunrises. My grandchildren enjoyed the winter ferris wheel overlooking the sea and the merry-go-round in the park.

Casa do Cerco
Fabulous stay! We felt like we were in an authentic Portuguese home. We used the fireplace a lot. Very nice to keep the chill away. The sound of the waves and pounding surf was heavenly. Max was an amazing host. His welcome snacks and special deliveries were appreciated and very welcome. The place is spotless. The kitchen well equipped. Great location for us to get anywhere on the island. Hopefully we can return another time and use the pool which is beautiful. My sons did do a quick dip. Brrrr. A great place for a family trip.

"Cabana Papaya" South Coast
We loved the apartment and especially the balcony with fantastic views of the banana plantation and the sea! We felt completely comfortable. Eva is a very accommodating host and was always easily accessible to us. We only regretted that during our time there was a construction site slightly above, which disturbed the tranquility of this area. There is also a second apartment and balcony right next door and the apartments are a bit noisy. Apart from that, we can highly recommend the place and would love to come back any time. Thank you very much Eva!

Villa C Santa Barbara Beach - Moses Haven
Great location and spacious place - laundry was a nice bonus too! Would definitely stay again

Villa Graciela
We loved our stay and the view from the terras. The jacuzzi was amazing. You can watch the sunset from the terras. The house had everything we wanted, big rooms and 2 bathrooms. We would recommend it to all of our friends to stay here!

Stunning Villa in Albufeira
Enjoyed a week in this spacious and well provisioned villa. Location is good as a base if you have a car to drive around. The Villa has 4 nice and bedrooms with plenty of space and bathroom facilities for each. The pool area benefits from sunshine all day makes for a good space to relax and entertain in. Overall really nice place.

Luxury garden villa, pool, great views, near beach
We had a wonderful week here! Our 5 year old loved the climbing frame, extra toys and of course the heated swimming pool. We loved the peace and quiet, the beautiful surroundings and the view. The house is extremely comfortable and we were made to feel at home right away after a lovely welcome and tour to help us get settled. The fantastic beds (hotel quality) and blackout blinds meant that we all slept really well, especially after long, active days. All of the facilities were of very high quality. The area is beautiful with a range of different beaches to choose from, as well as trips to Lisbon and Sintra easily possible, and the nearby mountains as well. There was also the convenience of a lovely bakery and mini supermarket very close by, as well as fantastic restaurants on the local beaches. A great place to stay, wonderful hosts and a fantastic area. We would highly recommend!!

Looking for relaxing holidays
Great house for a family trip. Very well equipped and maintained. Host and agency were very helpful and friendly.
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.
