BLUE 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!

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)

Discover tranquility in a charming place!
Quiet and quiet place. Extremely comfortable, super beautiful and modern house. Paulo is always very communicative and provides tips about the place. There are wonderful museums in the area. I recommend it 100%! Definitely a place to repeat!

Housy2 between Beach & Mountain
Candida let us in, explained about the house, things to see and do in the area, including restaurants, the local mini market and butcher shop, beaches and other interest points. she gave us some helpful tips. the house is very suitable for young children. there are games for children in the house, plastic plates and cups. our 3&5 year olds really liked it. it is a short drive from the marina(less than 10 minutes) and from the beaches on the western coast.

Rustic House with Pool & Jacuzzi -Arouca Portugal
Great hospitality. Lovely accomodation. Beautiful surroundings.

Walk to the Beach from a Quaint and Brightly Renovated House
This is a great location and an adorable apartment! João and Rita were very responsive and kind, leaving me local recommendations and a bottle of wine. I loved walking up to matosinhos to surf, walking around foz do duoro and shopping, then getting dinner on the beach. It was so quaint, quiet and special - I would definitely come back.

My House - Charming Home
Carlos is a great host and I definitely recommend staying at his place! He was very responsive and we had nice conversations with him. The place was as described, we really enjoyed the terrace and peaceful atmosphere.

Quinta da Bela Vista (AL 946)
A great place for our little family. Beautiful garden, great porch with a view of the water, a swimming people, fresh bananas grown on property and a lovely dog. Olga was very responsive to questions and super helpful with recommendations. The only downfall was the internet was very intermittent. If you want something peaceful, this is your spot. A lovely place and a wonderful host. I highly recommend.

Casa da Catedral - historic center
The accommodation was exactly what we were looking for. In the heart of the historic district, it is very well located for discovering Porto and its surroundings (the train station is also very close). Nuno and Raquel are very responsive and available to answer any questions you may have and care about whether everything is okay during the stay.

GracefulDuplex • TimeOutMarket • AC•Lift•Parking
This was an amazing apartment in Lisbon. It was close to restaurants and we had great recommendations from our hosts. The home was very comfortable and very quiet. I would recommend this host!

Porto Cozy Apartments
Loved Bruno's apartment. Had everything I needed for a 3 night stay. Would recommend if you want to explore the local area.

Lovely Apartment - In Porto
The accommodation was just like in the pictures. It’s close to city center and the host was so helpful. He gave us great recommendations on what to visit and where to eat and was always available for all our questions. I would highly recommend this place.

DOWNTOWN DESIGN APARTMENT – S. Domingos
This was a very nice place! Not only warm welcome by Pedro, but also that little more. All tips on what to do in Porto. How to travel from airport to apartment, but also respond very quickly. Apartment is nicely furnished and meets everything. Enjoy the coziness that happens in the courtyard with the doors open. Live music from street artists who redeem each other and the people who enjoy there on the terraces. This is definitely a place I want to go again.

RRAL 579 - Comfortable apartment in the center
Atelier was very friendly and welcoming. The place was clean and had all the accommodations we needed, was very spacious and in a convenient location for everything! Would absolutely stay again!

Cardosas.Apar.Gavina
Lovely well equipped kitchen, spacious and in a central location for trains , metro etc. However it is quite noisy during the day, due to building works at the staion opposite, where a new metro line is being bullt. As we were out during the day, this did not impact on our enjoyment of the flat or facilites. I expect we will return at some point in the furture. Daniel was good at answering queries, as there was a train strike during our stay.

Spacious 1-bed in Albufeira, steps from everything
Perfect location. The apartment was so spacious and comfortable. It had all the amenities as home. I would recommend it to anyone! We loved it!
Private vacation rentals in Portugal

House Historic Center 5min to beach
The property was perfect for our group visiting Cascais for the Ibercup. The host was fantastic and on hand to welcome us into the property. The host recommended the best local restaurants and the property literally had everything we needed and immediately felt like home. The only slight negative if anything was the local night noise at the weekend but with a central location it is expected. I would most definitely consider again when visiting the area and recommend to friends.

"Cabana Papaya" South Coast
A great place to stay that is even more beautiful than the pictures suggest. Communication was also quick and easy throughout. Always happy to come back!

Villa C Santa Barbara Beach - Moses Haven
Loved that there were all the amenities we needed. Place felt very homey - worth the price we paid for.

Villa Golden Charm
We really enjoyed the accommodation! (family of 6 people) This one is well located, a beautiful view, very peaceful and private place. It is very well equipped, heated pool (for €30/day), barbecue available, very spacious and clean. Which makes it a great value. We recommend it!

Algarve Traditional Mansion & PRIVATE HEATED Pool
If I could give Carmen 10 stars I would she was a real super host , I loved her property and Carmen went over and above to make our stay,with all her helpful recommendations and local spots it was a joy staying at her property

Luxury garden villa, pool, great views, near beach
Just back from a fantastic week. The best airbnb we have visited to date. Larger than photos look with a great layout. Lovely bedrooms that are both en-suite, as well as an additional two bathrooms! Indoor living room adjoined to a great conservatory area overlooking the playpark (great for our toddler) and views! We could eat in a different setting for each meal - with the outdoor seating our favourite for evenings and the upstairs terrace for morning coffee! Oh and the pool - beautiful and warm and so private. Lovely green space surrounding the pool where all you can hear is the birds - and the breeze was lovely. Hosts were fab! Only thing that could make it better would be option to talk to cafe or bar…: but then you would lose some of the peace! So for us… it was perfect!

Cozy Cottage with terrace to enjoy nature
The area is beautiful and the place was very clean and as pictured. We felt very comfortable and were very nicely and helpfully advised by the neighbor John, as Bruno and Sara were on vacation. He also gave us very good tips for exploring the area. Many thanks for this and also to Bruno and Sara for the hospitality.

Private Luxury Villa Galé
We stayed at Villa Claudia during May half term and had the best week. We got lucky with weather and had full sunshine daily which made having a private pool feel even better. The villa was large and well layed out. Easy self check in service and Susana had kindly left a hamper of food on arrival which was a lovely touch and very welcome after travelling. Air con in the bedrooms was very welcome at times during our stay and maids visited to change towels mid week. We used ubers for all of our journeys, including airport runs and they were always available within 2-3 minutes no matter where we were and very reasonably priced. We had initially thought about hiring a car but I'm so glad we didnt! The uber service was the best we've ever known. If going to Aldi just make sure you ask for an UberXL as the smaller cars won't allow for shopping bags. We made most meals in the villa and there was plenty of utensils etc. Only thing missing which would have been good was oven gloves.
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.
