Arcozelo : locations de vacances avec accès à un lac

We truly enjoyed our time relaxing at this scenic and historic place. Right along the river, attached to walking trails in a little park. Plenty of space and all the comforts of home. We spent a cool December evening here cozying up next to the fire and reading about the history of the region. The bridge/entrance dates back to roughly 1660-1740, incredible!

Excelente estadia. A casa superou as expectativas, lindíssima e muito arrumada. Cheirava muito bem. Para além disso, o sítio era extremamente calmo e com bastante privacidade. Foram bastante atenciosos, sempre prontos a ajudar. Tivemos uma pequena situação que acabamos por conseguir resolver sozinhos, no entanto foram atenciosos ao ponto de deixar um cesta com pequeno almoço à nossa porta pelo incómodo que tivemos. Recomendo 100% e com certeza voltaremos lá.

Great for a family, we had a wonderful weekend. Nice to have 3 full bathrooms, never a wait even with many adults getting ready! Beautiful view of the river, bridges, landscape of the area. Super convenient with good restaurants and a supermarket in walking distance. Would love to stay here again on our next vacation to Gerês.

Where do I even start?! Staying at Maria's Casa do Rio felt like a magical home away from home. Maria and her sweet dogs gave us a warm welcome when we arrived and gave us a beautiful tour of the property with an overview of its history that you should not miss. She was very accommodating to our check-in time and sensitive to our plans during our stay, which were not many. Since we didn't have much planned for our spur-of-the-moment visit, we were delighted when Maria gave us many suggestions of activities on our own as well as ones with her such as a tour around the area, canoeing, hiking, yoga class, massage, cooking together and so much more. The charm and kind embrace by Maria was otherworldly and an experience in itself that we won't ever forget. If you have any reservations on booking your stay here, you shouldn't because you will not regret a single second at Casa do Rio. Every moment during our stay here is one we will treasure, and we'll be back to visit Maria and her Casa.

My stay was just what I needed: a couple of peaceful days in the pristine mountains of Portugal. Very well, equipped kitchen, very comfy bed and nice linens …the host left me some vegetables and fruit from garden, which was amazing. A couple of stunning fireplaces in the house that I used every night Just enjoyable. Thank you.

Beautiful house, very tastefully modernised but characterful building that is perfectly equipped. Lovely peaceful location. Ample parking. River just outside the house. Was a perfect stay, thanks Tiago!

Fuimos por el aniversario de mi novia y nos encantó la casa súper equipada y cómoda. Todo muy limpio Volveríamos

Dette stedet er ett eventyr!! Bildene er flotte av stedet men de yter ikke rettferdighet til denne utrolige eiendommen. Huset er kjempestort, med ett flott uteområde som er delt opp med masse forskjellige turgrupper, det er ett nydelig bassengområde, og mange steder man kan slenge seg ned i skyggen. Det er ett stort utvalg av fugler over store deler av eiendommen, for oss fra Norge var det flere ukjente arter, og påfuglene ble veldig godt kjent med. Fem store flotte fugler gikk løs, og kom gjerne bortom hvis du hadde en brødbit og avse. Hundene var utrolig koselige, tre forskjellige men vennligheten selv alle sammen. To katter var det også, og utallige fugler i store bur, som man bare ser i dyrehager. Mannen i huset er kunstner og har satt sitt eiendommelige preg på både hus og hage, med sine finurlige kunst installasjoner, gjerne med dyr og fugler som tema. Anbefales altså sååå på det varmeste. Må oppleves for å forstå hvor unikt denne eiendommen er.

Isabel aime sa ville, et elle vous le transmet. Elle nous a donné de nombreuses recommandations et propositions fort utiles. Après avoir discuté avec elle, elle est allé chercher des adresses correspondantes aux envies que nous avions. Isabel est une hôte en or, et son logement, notamment avec la vue sur le Douro, est particulièrement agréable et plutôt calme, collé au centre historique.

I hadn’t researched the area well when I booked this home and didn’t realize that we’d be on the other side of the river from Porto. I’m so glad that I didn’t know as I might not have booked and we were thrilled with the location and the home. Being on the river was like watching a movie at all hours of the day and night. We loved the walks across the bridge to Porto and enjoyed the riverside restaurants and activities on both sides. The apartment is quiet and has very comfortable beds which is more important the older we get. There are stairs with the apartment on three levels. We enjoyed our brief times on the terrace and would have spent more time there in better weather. Isa responded quickly when we had a challenge with the washing machine and it was fixed the next day. She also showed me how to use the coffee machine, which produces fabulous coffee. It wasn’t difficult but I needed help. The place has everything needed for a great visit and we highly recommend it.

Our stay at Casa do Engenho Braga was absolutely incredible! From the moment we arrived, Monica made us feel so welcome and at home. The property is stunning—beautifully maintained, with charming details and breathtaking views. The rooms were spotless and thoughtfully decorated, offering both comfort and style. Monica went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, providing great local tips and being available whenever we had questions. The amenities were top-notch, from the fully equipped kitchen to the serene outdoor spaces. It truly felt like a home away from home. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with exceptional hospitality, this is the place to be. Thank you, Monica, for making our stay unforgettable—we can’t wait to return!

My family loved staying at this beautiful suite in the heart of Vila Nova de Gaia! We felt absolutely at home, while being so close to many walkable areas. We will definitely stay again!

Charming apartment, close to all the central sights of Porto. Excellent communication, including great recommendations! We had a fabulous trip to Porto.

We loved our stay even though it was only for 1 night, perfect location right next to the beach club we were going to, amazing customer service, super friendly host

It is delighted that Sonia had tried her best to make our early check-in become possible. She welcomed us directly with a brief introduction of the accommodation. The house is clean and comfortable to all of us. Sónia’s place, located in Vila Nova da Gaia is a convenient location good to everywhere esp. it is walking distance to nearby sight-seeing place such as Jardim do Morro Hilltop park, Dom Luís I Bridge and Ribeira neighborhood etc. Fantastic views in both day and night could be viewed from both inside and outside of the house. Overall, good stay and will re-book Sonia’s house in the next time. Vincent

The location of the house is great, at the very center of Porto so you can reach everywhere by walk. If you want to visit other cities, Sao Bento train station is less then 5min by walk. The place is super clean and well equipped with everything you may need. Moreover, as you can see in the pictures but even more impressive in real, the house is decorated delicately. You can feel Margarida’s artistic touch of everywhere. Altough Margarida doesnt speak English, communication with her was unique. She is extremely kind, warm, caring, caring, helpful, reaponsive. Talking with her was like having a conversation with a close friend you havent seen for a while and that made me feel like home. Thank you so much Margarida for eveything! I hope to see you soon again

8 of us had an amazing week at Ria Surf House. The pool area was perfect for us adults and kids! Mariana was very helpful and responsive. Fab meals at the snack bar and Casa das Enguias. We didn’t have a car but Mariana put us in touch with a lovely local taxi driver who ensured we could get around when not walking. Also took the train to Porto and Aveiro, great days out. The beach was amazing - a walk through a forest to get there - a wild and remote feel. Many thanks!

Casa muito bonita e confortável, no meio da natureza, anfitriões muito atenciosos. Gostámos muito!

Lovely setting in the valley with the river rushing by, out porch looked up the river and walks around the grounds were very peaceful, we really enjoyed the area. There were so many small details that made the place special, lighting in the evenings along rhe paths and by the waterfall, kind and responsive communication, lovely and well designed interior, an amazing bathtub with piping hot water, comfy sheets, firewood and more. We will definitely be back.

Ganz besonderer Ort direkt am Douro. Wunderschöne Terrasse mit Pool, Liegen und Garten mit Obstbäumen. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

We were very well received and greatly enjoyed our stay at the house. Maria Fatima was very helpful and accomodating during our entire stay and did her best to help us and make us feel right at home. The house is on the outskirts of a village in a very calm area, but close to many bigger and busier cities, and beaches. The garden, pool and bar areas are perfect to enjoy from morning to nighttime, and it feels like a small private resort. The small children loved running around to play with the cats and dog, watching the birds, going in the pool, playground, and just having fun in the large and very diverse garden. The host lives in a house adjacent to the rented house but is very discreet, and even though we enjoy privacy we didn't have any issues staying in the house with the hosts nearby. In fact she was so helpful and kind we felt it was a joy to have her close by. She brought us many gifts of food, desserts and cake, and helped us in many ways during the stay.

Célia foi extremamente solicita, deixou o informações clara e esteve 100% disponível!

Beautiful house, amazing private location above a lake. Very relaxing being immersed in nature. House well kitted out and lovely features. We took our paddleboard and wonderful paddle boarding on the lake. Children loved the swimming and the ‘cold tub’ plunge pool. Thankyou Gerrit and Grace, we hope to return.

Het echtpaar van de boerderij was ontzettend gastvrij en aardig. Ze hebben tijdens ons verblijf twee taarten gebakken voor ons, uit gastvrijheid. Bovendien hielpen ze ons met al onze vragen ondanks hun iets wat gebrekkige Engels. Ze gaven ons ook nog eens gratis verse broden van de bakker De kamers in de woning zelf waren van alle gemakken voorzien en ontzettend schoon. De boerderij is ook nog ontzettend groot dus aan ruimte geen gebrek. Ik kan deze Airbnb aan iedereen aanraden, wij komen zeker nog een keer terug!
