Holiday houses in Espinhosa

Wow! What an incredible host, location and house. The home was even better than described, everything was spotless with fresh fruit, a welcome basket and more. Margarida kindly greeted me when I arrived late at night and made me feel very welcome, upon arrival it was amazing to be greeted so warmly and to be made to feel at home, the fire was even going so it was nice and warm. Communication was regular and very helpful with support navigating the local area. Margarida went above and beyond what was required to ensure I go to where I needed to be on my trip, dropping me off, picking me up, arranging transport, showing me the local area and more. Words cannot describe how great of a time I had here and it would not have been the same without such an amazing host. I eagerly await my next visit here, Obrigado to my host !

Excellent Host, Awesome accommodation!

Accommodation exactly as in the photos, quiet location, practical for being a few meters from a market and other points of interest. About 10 minutes by car to the center of Guimarães. Self check-in was super practical and with the password we had access to the safe with the keys. The house was extremely clean and the central heating was certainly a differential, providing the necessary thermal comfort on the coldest days we were there. When we arrived at the site, the house was already heated! The kitchen is well equipped and served us beyond our expectations. The garage accommodates a large car well, as it has a table for socializing. It's a great family accommodation. If you are looking for tranquility with comfort, this is the ideal space.

We had an amazing stay at Diogo’s beautiful place. It is even better in real life than it looks on the photos, with great views and supermarkets / restaurants close by. The house is open and bright and perfect for a group of 10-15. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning

Lovely peaceful house in the mountains of the country side, beautiful weather everyday. 5 of us had such a relaxing holiday, the pool is huge and was great to cool off and early morning swims. Spacious house with big bedrooms, supermarket and town 5 minutes drive away, close to the motorway to go places. We loved the pool down in the Vouga valley, canoeing down the rapids on the Rio Paiva was a fantastic day and a great drive in the mountains. Beaches and Aveiro are lovely and not too far away. Water Park at Amarante is also awesome.

This villa exceeded our expectations, and was well appointed to accommodate our needs. We were two families totally 4 adults and 4 kids, and the size was perfect. Outdoor amenities were great, including pool, bathhouse, picnic and barbecue area. The property was very private, and there was a Marina Bar next door that has great food (the burger is one of the best I've had). The only two downsides, which didn't impact my rating was that the wifi didn't work well (I had my own hotspot, and you might want to disconnect) and the beds are firm (seems common in Portugal, because we had a very similar experience at another place). We were looking for a place that was central to northern Portugal, and this worked out great (less then 30 mins to Porto). Being right on the Duro river was very relaxing. We were also able to experience folk dancing (rancho) next door at the marina one night, which was a great cultural experience.

Staff was wonderful, very helpful and responsive. We had a delightful wine tasting. They set up a taxi to take us to town and told us where to have dinner. The small village was extremely charming, we had a great dinner and our taxi driver was waiting to take us back after. The room and property were top notch. the only minor issue we had and it may be our fault, is we were further away from the Douro Valley than we thought. The directions were correct, but I missed my turn into the property, it isnt much of a road and it sneaks up on you. It would be challenging to find at night. But in the end, we were extremely pleased with our experience and very glad we stayed. We would wholeheartedly recommend it!!

Our stay was 5 stars—if not 6! The place is absolutely amazing! peaceful, private, and surrounded by beautiful green space. I was genuinely surprised by the huge garden outside as it was much bigger and nicer than I expected, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the fresh air. The jacuzzi was a perfect touch super relaxing after a day of exploring. The house itself is spacious, full of natural light, and offers a stunning view of Serra da Estrela. The living room has huge windows that make the space feel open and connected to nature, and the bedroom is so cozy and quiet you could easily sleep all day. It’s fully equipped with everything you need for a perfect stay. The host was incredibly nice and welcoming. He gave us great recommendations for places to visit and eat, and we absolutely loved the cheese and wine he gifted us, such a thoughtful and delicious surprise! We truly didn’t want to leave. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in nature.
