Holiday rentals in Costa Verde
Costa Verde is the name given to the area of Portugal covering the districts of the Minho and the Douro Litoral, stretching north from the city of Porto to the Spanish border. As the name suggests, it is a lush area, with some fabulous beaches and wonderful places to visit nearby as well as a good choice of holiday rentals on offer. It is the antithesis of the crowded beaches and resorts of other parts of Portugal, so is perfectly suitable for those in search of an escape, far from the madding crowds. The holiday rentals on offer often take the form of rural farmhouses or village homestays, as well as a good selection of villas and properties by or near to the sea. The city of Porto is well worth a visit if you are staying nearby, or if you really want to get stuck in to its namesake, the famous drink ‘Porto’, then it’s pretty easy to find holiday rentals in the city itself in the form of apartments and houses, where you can make the most of the easy access to bars and restaurants.

More about your Costa Verde holiday...
Braga and Guimaraes are two towns of note, which are fascinating for visitors. Both towns have wonderful examples of medieval buildings, and Braga has a formidable castle as well. To get a real feel of these medieval towns, you can stay in holiday rentals in the heart of the old town and explore the cobbled streets after dark when the rest of the tourists have gone home. For those who enjoy rural holiday rentals, then there’s lots on offer for you here. Aside from fantastic walking opportunities, there is an excellent array of flora and fauna.
The Parque da Penada Gerez is a charming nature reserve in the north eastern corner of Costa Verde. Here you will come across a wide variety of wildlife, some of which is unique to the Iberian peninsular. Choose from secluded farmhouses and cabins for your holiday rentals here and you will be truly at one with nature. Take the family to Costa Verde for your holiday and you will find something a bit different; a part of Portugal with great charm and character, where the people are friendly and the pace of life is slow. Isn’t that what holidays are all about?
