Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Marco de Canaveses

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!

This was a dream vacation - we had just moved to Portugal and spent 2 weeks getting setup. We wanted a quiet week as a family to rest before school started. This place was perfect: perched on a mountainside in the middle of vines, the space was quiet, peaceful and beautifully designed and appointed. Paulo, the husband, is an architect who refurbishes vintage designer furniture. Teyna, the wife, is an amazing chef. Her breakfasts (included) we delicious and the dinners they offer in their adjoining restaurant and well crafted and tasty. Their place is pet friendly - we brought our dog, and they have a dog, two cats and two birds. We did outings to Porto, nearby Roman ruins, historic villages and swam in the rivers running through them. It was delightful.

The cottage is way nicer in real life than it looks in the pictures. It is spacious, well equipped and the location is absolutely stunning. Marilia was highly communicative throughout, gave us a warm welcome upon our arrival, and even left fresh veg and a lovely welcome pack. I recommend asking them to send the location to you directly before you travel as the one on Airbnb doesn't work.

Casa Escola at Dajas was wonderful. We stayed two nights with my parents and our dog and had a great time. The staff was super accommodating and friendly. Breakfast buffet was great! Views and private pool were amazing and the house was very clean! I think it’s important to note that there are some steep steps inside the house and the pool doesn’t have steps down with now shallow end, so might not be suitable for some people or children. Also, they are building two new villas next to the house so during the week it might be noisy with construction. All in all would recommend we had a great time!

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.

We loved our stay here. The house has three levels the entry level has two bedrooms and baths, the next level two more bedrooms and a bath, and the lower level the kitchen and living area, as well as access to the patio. We were traveling with friends and the various levels of the house allowed us space, while the lower level provided a cozy gathering spot for enjoying our time together. We loved the character of the place and incredible views of the Duoro River. The location also worked well for our explorations of the Duoro Valley. When we were there were some heavy storms, since the lower level is built into the stone there was some weeping of the walls, but it didn’t impact our ability to just enjoy the space. Despite the rain, we loved waking up and going out to the patio to enjoy the views. Fresh oranges from the garden offered us wonderful homemade juice. Definitely a place we would recommend to friends or family.

Quinta da Lameira, has been one of the best farms we have encountered in the last 10 years. We were a group of 6 adults and 4 children and the farm showed that it had all the potential for a few days well spent. The house is very functional, well-equipped and illuminated. The living room and kitchen, in open space, allowed the entire group to be in constant conviviality and the children had room to play. The kitchen was equipped with everything we need. The 3 suites were comfortable and the room with bunk beds was perfect for the 4 children. It was the first house we were in that everything worked smoothly, from hot water, heating, to powerboard. The outdoor part is very nice, even though it is in December, just not being able to take advantage of the swimming pool. But even so the S. Pedro helped and, especially the children, were able to play in the slide and in the toy house. And we were able to barbecue. I believe a summer stay on this farm is amazing.

Great welcome, José was very responsive and flexible on schedules. The house was very clean with all the necessities. I recommend.

Clean apartment, ideal for a family with two children, with a large terrace offering a beautiful view of the mountains. The opportunity to visit the Douro Valley, but also Porto, Braga or Guimaraes. Our host Filomena was friendly and very responsive, answering all our questions.

We really had a very nice time in Paul's apartment! We recommend 💯 %! Our stay was actually too short & we definitely want to come back sometime. For those looking for a unique experience outside of the mass tourism, you've come to the right place! In Paul's house you will be warmly welcomed and for a while it is also "your home" A unique experience of Portuguese life in the Douro valley. The area is also beautiful, the people are nice and everything is very affordable. We hope to return one day to this beautiful Portuguese paradise. 🫶

A great stay with all amenities nearby while being quiet in the apartment. We stayed a week with our 1 year old son and everything was perfect. Thank you also for the welcome and availability

Heaven on earth! Thank you so much for sharing your amazing home. We will never forget it. Or you. Or the dogs!!! Happy Christmas!!

Absolutely loved our stay at this magnificent Airbnb! The place is incredibly welcoming and serene, offering a stunning and restful view that made our vacation truly unforgettable. Highly recommend for anyone looking to relax and unwind in a beautiful setting. We'll definitely be back!

Very nice place to stay. excellent and very good value restaurant next to it. Recommended.

Beautiful location. Nice studio, clean and comfy.

Beautiful apartment with modern amenities, very attentive hostess

A very nice and well located apartment.

We had this desire, Fatima and Abel, and her family helped to make it by offering us their accommodation of a very beautiful quality, typical, clean, beautiful view. The central proximity to the main places in this northern and central region of Portugal, not to mention the beautiful very refreshing beaches, in the background an undeniable asset. The openness and communication of Fatima and Abel , allowed us to get out of the tourist places and approach Portuguese life, its gastronomy from the inside. A real delight for our daughter and ourselves! A great invitation to come back and discover other places in Portugal!

Very cosy space and all very clean. Fantastic bed and shower as well. I will recommend for sure.

This apartment is one of the best we have lived in. Very comfy and cozy. With a huge balcony around the whole apartment. A lot of toys for a child, a cute high chair, a high chair in the bathroom, children's beds. Heating + bath (not shower cabin) is a very rare and valuable combination for Portugal. And an added bonus is the curtain in the bathroom, not the glass door. We are very satisfied. Thanks to Elizabeth and her husband Alberico. They are nice, friendly and thoughtful hosts

Great apartment, clean, spacious and very well arranged. Has all the comforts for a great family holiday. The kitchen is beautiful and seems to have been replaced recently. Very good location, close to shops and access to highways. Thanks to Cristina, Filipe and Catarina thanks to you we had 2 very good weeks of vacation in the Porto area. We'll be happy to go back! Cdt
