Holiday Rentals in Aveiro - A Guide to Aveiro
Aveiro district is on the Costa del Plata, just to the south of Porto. Many Aveiro holiday rentals are found near the coast where holiday makers can take advantage of superb beaches which rival those of the Algarve further south.
A holiday rental in Aveiro is a good choice if you want to enjoy both the beaches and countryside but also want to be able to visit the major cities of Lisbon and Porto. The main A1 motorway runs right through the district so from your Aveiro holiday rental you will have good access to other parts of the country.
The actual city of Aveiro was once a major port as it is situated on the shores of a lagoon making a perfect natural harbour. This is an important farming area and many holiday rentals in Aveiro were once farmhouses.
Types of Holiday Rentals in Aveiro
As with all the districts which have a coastline, the biggest selection of Aveiro holiday rentals is near the sea. There are apartments to rent in Aveiro in purpose-built resorts with all modern amenities. These Aveiro rental apartments usually have two bedrooms and two bathrooms and will sleep six people by using a convertible bed/settee in the living room.
The resorts have a good selection of restaurants, shops and nightlife. For larger groups or those preferring a little more privacy there are beachside houses to rent in Aveiro with gardens and, very often, swimming pools. A holiday in one of these will be a little quieter than in an apartment but with access to the same amenities.
Further inland, in farming country, you will find country houses to rent in Aveiro and restored farmhouses to rent in Aveiro. Many of these are larger properties, perhaps with 4 or more bedrooms but there are also some cottages to rent in Aveiro which are converted farm buildings, often part of a larger estate, and suitable for couples or small groups. There may be a shared pool. These Aveiro holiday rentals would suit those looking for a quieter holiday, perhaps with a bit of fishing or golf.
