Holiday rentals in Northern Portugal
Referred to as the Minho, northern Portugal stretches from Porto to the border with Spain, running along the stunning Costa Verde and up to Ponte de Lima. Holiday rentals in this part of Portugal are not nearly as easy to find as in the Algarve, but that’s what makes this place so special; a chance to immerse yourself in the Portuguese culture and landscape, where you often feel that you have the whole region to yourself. Porto is the most important city of the North and is a UNESCO world heritage site. For a taste of city life, find holiday rentals in the bustling downtown and winding streets of Porto, where you can walk from your apartment every night to a different restaurant and wend your way home after a few glasses of Porto’s namesake wine.

More about your Northern Portugal holiday...
The Douro region is named after the Douro river – the longest river in Northern Portugal which winds its way through mountains until it reaches the Atlantic near Porto. There are plenty of opportunities for taking trips on the river – in some parts the river banks and beyond are lined with terraced vineyards which product the famous Port wine. There are also ancient cave paintings, medieval castles, churches and mansions to be visited in this area – you will not be short of places to visit. Holiday rentals here are often in the form of farmhouses, cottages and village houses, where you can enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside while still being an easy trip from the interesting sites. The north eastern region is a paradise of unspoilt natural resources, and is the perfect place to find holiday rentals for those in search of an activity and outdoor holiday as it’s an excellent venue for mountain trekking and canoeing.
