Beautiful property. Phenomenal grounds
11 of us stayed as two families, with kids ranging between 13 and 7. We were so impressed with the sheer size of the property and the grounds. It was so spacious and immaculate. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything that you could possibly need. There were so many things to do around the villa, whether it was the pool, table tennis, table football, badminton or playing football, that no-one was ever bored. We ate in the villa most days, but got Ubers into Vila do Conde and Povoa de Varzim when we went to restaurants. We didn’t hire a car because Ubers are so cheap over there. They are half the price of the UK. We had a day trip to Porto via the metro, which is only a 5 minute walk away. We arranged larger food deliveries with Pingo Doce and Continente and for smaller orders, we used Ubereats, which would deliver from the local supermarket. We loved our stay, thank you and we would love to return again.

We had a super stay. The Villa is superb and well equipped. The grounds are huge! Our hosts could not have done more for us. The Villa itself is about 20 mins away from Porto. You need a car here. But if you fancy leaving it behind, an Uber costs around €16 each way into Porto. The pool is great and refreshing rather than hot. All the bedrooms are fantastic, all 12 of us were very comfortable. Thank you Joao for being so lovely and engaging with us. The weather cools off a lot in the eve so maybe bring a cardi! Thanks for everything!

Wonderful stay!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Very attentive hosts, fabulous location and we really appreciated the refreshing pool to dip into, particularly after a days exploring. Everything we needed was to hand and the villa is SO spacious and also cool inside which we appreciated in the heat. Would highly recommend this property.

Family trip
Really enjoyed our family visit to the villa for a week in June. The property was a lovely traditional villa with so much space and facilities indoor and out. With the great weather most days it was the ideal location for a get together and a shared family celebration. The beach and Villa do conde were both within walking distance and with Ubers so easy and cheap to take we could have managed without our own transport. Ana was so helpful with emails and communication prior to our visit and João couldn't have been more welcoming and responsive when we had a small issue and with the first night supplies we were well set up for our visit. Thanks so much for making our big family meet up so successful!

Great family Gathering
We had a wonderful stay at the property. Ana and her family were very accommodating and communication was great! Food and drinks greeted us at the property!! All needs were catered for and the images online do not do the property justice - far better. So spacious and full of amenities/equipment. The garden and pool were just wonderful with fruit trees in the orchard which can be picked if in season. Lovely south facing garden. The table tennis was a great hit too and the smart TV very useful for the evenings. Near to two metro lines. Beach about a 30 minute walk with some small supermarkets along the way. Went into Porto one day and into Povoa de Varzim at the end of the line another day. To see further afield a car would be useful. Thank you Ana

Friends and family get away
We visited with friends, as two families of five. We had a broad range of children aged from 2 to 18 and there was plenty of space for us all to stay in comfort. The photos don’t do the pool and grounds justice, it was even better than we had expected! We didn’t hire a car but you do need a vehicle to get around. The metro is excellent and only a ten minute walk away and it’s very easy to get around by taxi with Uber. The beaches are excellent with fantastic surf. Don’t forget your wetsuit as it is the Atlantic! It is a family owned property and the help we received in planning our trip was exceptional. The welcome gifts provided us with a taste of Portugal and were a sign of the warmth of hospitality that we received throughout our trip.

Great Family Holiday 29th July
We absolutely loved our stay 29th July-5th Aug. We were a family of 8 - 5 adults and 3 kids. The Villa had everything you could need. The welcome from Joao was perfect and he even took the blokes to the local shop so we could get our essentials even though our flight had already been delayed. The welcome hamper was awesome and the hosts really do go above and beyond. We had fantastic days in the pool and awesome meals out in the local area and further a field. I would recommend hiring a car if you are considering it. We didn’t have a car and the local village was walkable and the metro was easy to get to but the local roads have narrow footpaths. Hiring a car definitely isn’t essential and we had a fabulous time without one. We used a Uber a couple of times and it was cheap to do. My mum has had a knee replacement so on the odd occasion we ubered instead of walked. We would recommend going to the local bakery (every morning for breakfast! Just around the corner), visit the local village, visit Vila do conde and visit Porto. We ate at some lovely places but our last night we went to Guia in Vila do conde. The meal probably cost the same amount as the rest of the week (food prices are really really reasonable) but it was worth it for the view and great food. The best bit of the whole holiday was definitely chilling by the pool and watching the kids play in the spectacular grounds. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

Amazing villa n Hosts A*****
The villa and gardens are huge, the photos definatly dont do it justice, there is SO much room for everyone. The bedrooms were all a good size, there was a lounge area which we only used once as we spent all our time outside in the seating area, there is a more formal sitting/dining room which we didnt use, we kept the doors closed as was not needed for our party. Kitchen was a good size with dishwasher. The Hosts had left beers, snacks etc in the fridge which was really nice but walking into the kitchen to a lovely Portuguese cake and biscuits plus bottle of wine and fruits bowl was the most amazing gesture and very kind. The Host offered to take us food shopping in his car, which we was grateful for, how nice of him to offer tho :) Ping pong table was the highlight of the evenings with competitions each night!! Swimming pool was used alot but very cold when you first get in, kids didnt feel the cold as much as the adults. We had some cloudy days which didnt help. We wanted a BBQ on the 2nd night and i couldnt get it to work and messaged the Host who said the small gas bottle had probably ran out and said we needed to purchase one, an hour or so later the Host arrived with a new gas bottle, the Host literally goes above and beyond to help. Only downfall was there was nothing walkable except a yummy bakery, we didnt find any restaurants to eat in so used Uber eats alot, McDs was nice and quick! We did get uber taxi to Lidl a few times for shopping. AMAZING break had by all!

Amazing Villa
4 groups of friends, 15 of us altogether and we all had the best time. Ana and her brother went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. From arranging the airport transfers, to stocking up the fridge for our late arrival, to including a baby gate so our little ones were safe, we couldn’t have asked for better hosts. The villa itself is amazing. As others have said, the pictures just don’t do it justice. It’s incredible. We never felt like we were under each others feet as there was so much space. The outdoor space gets the biggest thumbs up though. Pool, ping pong, football table, hot tub, inflatables, they had everything you could think of. The area is very quiet and residential. The metro is within walking distance, the nearest shop is about a 15 minute walk, and the beach is about a 20 minute walk (unless you have 7 kids with you like we did, in which case it’ll take a good 45 minutes including an ice cream stop!) but Uber is available - which we only thought to use on the second to last day - so if it’s hot, we’d advise using one to get back to the villa. It’s really cheap. We also enquired about getting a catering company in one night to cook for us. Ana recommended her friends Armanda and Manuel. They cooked the most amazing Portuguese BBQ for us. We would highly recommended hiring them. Such wonderful people and amazing chefs! Thank you Ana, you are a great host and we will definitely book the villa again!

Wonderful family holiday
The villa was stunning, well maintained and within easy walking distance of shops, metro and beach. At the villa we made good use of the facilities provided - swimming pool, table tennis and badminton. We were also able to pick some oranges and lemons from the fruit trees in the grounds. On arrival the host made sure we were settled in, introduced us to the local area and even provided a welcome gift of melon, meat&cheese platter and some port! Highly recommend for family holidays.

This is a big well maintained house with loads of space inside and out. Great pool and garden. The laundry room is a real bonus. Everything is well designed and set up for a large group. Some of the beds were a bit hard but that’s better than too soft! To suit our drinking we added large red wine and fizz glasses to the house stock. Two excellent local bakeries and a little supermarket nearby. Beach walkable for the youngsters. Metro handy and great for access to Porto. We had a great holiday.

Beautiful & well located property
We are a family of 7 adults and a toddler and we all had a great time staying at Vila do Conde. The house was very spacious and the garden was exceptional with lemon, orange and plum trees. The pool was very inviting. The location suited us very well as we could walk round the corner to a cafe for breakfast and also walk to the metro to take the train to Porto. While we were there the weather was cooler than normal but there were still plenty of activities to keep us busy.

Fantastic Villa
It was my 60th birthday and we decided to rent this villa for a family holiday. There were eight adults, three children ranging from 2 to 8 years of age and one nine week old baby. The accommodation was plenty big enough for us all and the grounds were amazing. The swimming pool was just perfect and there was no need to leave the place at all. On our arrival we were met by Joao, who took his time to explain all about the villa and then took a couple of the group out and about to show them the local area. There was a birthday cake and a couple of bottles of’fizz’ to welcome us, as well as a few essentials to see us through to the next morning. Nothing was too much trouble. We caught the metro to Porto one day, which I would thoroughly recommend and a few of the group went to various different beaches in the area. The nearest supermarket was about 15 minutes walk and was well big enough to supply everything we needed. We had a fantastic holiday and would thoroughly recommend the villa to everyone.

stunning property, friendly helpful hosts
We had a lovely holiday, the house was perfect for our 3 families and the pool was exactly what we needed to cool off! We had everything we needed for a relaxing family/friend holiday. We had bbqs every day and ordered a takeaway pizza on my daughters birthday from the local pizzeria which was really good and The local bakers make a delicious birthday cake. We visited Villa do Conde and the other local beach (sorry I cannot remember the name) which we’re both ideal for families with small children. We also visited Porto and Uber was super easy to get us around. Joao was really helpful when we needed him and the whole family was friendly and welcoming when we arrived. We will definitely return x
