Home in Ponta Delgada
4.63 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviewsBLUE TILE @ AZORES NEST
I can’t recommend Tiago’s place enough! It’s a beautiful and spacious place, about 10 minutes walking distance from the beach and the downtown area. The house is equipped with EVERYTHING you could ask for. From basics like enough towels (even beach towels) to the kitchen that was fully set up everything was available! Tiago was super responsive and we even had the pleasure to meet his dad for a moment. 10/10, highly recommend!
Home in Lombo Do Doutor
4.92 out of 5 average rating, 49 reviewsCasa Nici magnificant sea views
Check in was easy and smooth, communication was very good from the host. We really did feel like we could lean on them if we wanted anything. Very nice and helpful. House was generally very clean and we had a great time there. Big dinner tables for family meals both inside and out and a nice little breakfast bar. Pool was well maintained and kept clean. Kitchen is pretty much stocked with everything you'd need. Only downside I would say is that the garage would've been too small for the original car we had hired, thankfully we ended up getting a hatchback rather than an SUV. The tight roads would've also been an issue for inexperienced drivers. Not a deal breaker though, the house was very nice and spacious otherwise.

Home in Vila Real
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 9 reviewsBig house for 6/9pax in Vila Real
Excellent stay for several in family with children. The area is beautiful and well maintained, the swimming pools are pleasant to cool down during heat waves. The hospitality is perfect; the price in season can be scary initially but the house, the estate and the kindness of the employees justify it. We'll be happy to go back! Thank you Ines (and Angela)

Home in Cascais
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 123 reviewsHousy2 between Beach & Mountain
Candida met us at the home and thoroughly went through the home and the community of Cascais. It is evident the pride of ownership by Candida and her husband through the attention to details throughout this lovely home. Very well equipped, clean and comfortable. We went to the seafood restaurant Mare Alta twice, which Candida recommended. We walked to the market on the secret path she directed us to. Thank you for being part of Portuguese adventure.

It was a pleasure to stay at Sacha's place. She was kind and helpful and even gave us recommendations for where to go fishing on the island. I'm excited to return as soon as I can make it.
Home in Funchal
4.75 out of 5 average rating, 20 reviewsStunning Beach Penthouse: 3 min walk to beach
This was a great stay! The apartment is exactly as advertised, and large and spacious. The location was great for everything we needed- easily commuting to hiking and Funchal proper, as well a lovely promenade, great restaurants, and shopping all within walking distance. Diana is one of the most receptive and responsive hosts we have encountered.

Apartment in Ponta Delgada

I would highly recommend this appartement! At the center of the island to discover it's beauty in a qualitative accomodation. We felt immediately at home! The thick walls help to blocks the heat, you can sleep with the windows open at night. We loved the personal huge balcon/terrace with view on the beautiful garden and walking distance to the supermarket till 23 o clock and tot the city center. Thanks Luis!
Apartment in Lisboa
4.92 out of 5 average rating, 339 reviewsIndependent city center apartment Bairro Alto.
This place is very convenient you can walk to Chaido and Bixia area from here or the subway station is 7 minutes walking. To go on public transportation get your tickets at the metro station and you can use cable car, bus or metro with the same ticket.The train is a different ticket and only works for the train. If you are not sure ask at the ticket office instead of using the vending machine . Lost to do around and a great place to stay, if you are a light sleepers use ear plugs at night. There is a bar and is open very late. Antonio is a great host and the place is excellent.
Apartment in Porto
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 101 reviewsUptown Luxury Flat Boavista
Can't say enough great things about Cristina! She and her husband were so welcoming and kind. Whatever I had a question or if there was an issue that popped up, they were there to help in no time at all and often went above and beyond. The apartment itself is very lovely and has a very homey feel. And the weather is nice, the balcony is fantastic. All in all, you have everything you could possibly need for a short or long stay. Overall, I highly recommend it! :)

Monika and her husband were incredible hosts. They were available and responsive during both the planning process and the visit. The rental was wonderful and exactly as pictured. The beds were very comfortable. The beach access could not be better; private back patio and step right out onto the beach. We felt safe and at home. Thank you Monika! We hope to be back sooner than later.
Apartment in Tavira

We loved our Stay at Scott’s place. His apartment is spacious, clean and only 100 metres walk to the 1st resort swimming pool where you can eat decent food and delicious Algarve orange juice if you like. The resort itself is a nice place to be and all the staff were very helpful. The closest beach and other restaurants/bars are just a short walk away. Yes the bed is comfortable and big. Would come back!

We loved the balcony overlooking the sea and there were many restaurants in walking distance. We were able to make fire as it was getting cold inside. Only would have liked to have one more heater for the bathroom - only one available, which we carried around.

JUST BOOK THIS VILLA. João could not have been nicer. He went above and beyond to make our stay wonderful. So many thoughtful touches. Hands down, the most generous host ever. His villa is pristine and the kitchen is beautifully stocked and organized. The photos don’t do the views justice. Great place and well worth the price.

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.
