Valongo Holiday Rentals are mostly apartments

Whilst research holiday rentals in Porto district I came across the municipality of Valongo. Like so many Porto municipalities, Valongo is really just a suburb but I did come across a few apartments which would make good holiday accomodation within easy reach of the city.

Holiday rentals in Santo-Tirso

Santo Tirso is something of an undiscovered jewel. In the northern part of Porto District, bordering Viseu district, Santo Tirso holiday rentals benefit from pleasant countryside and proximity to Portugal's second city.

Holidayrentals in Penafiel - the forgotten Municipality?

Penafiel seems to be something of a forgotten municipality. To the east are the beautiful areas of Amarante, Marco de Canaveses and Baiao; to the west the more populated areas approaching the city of Porto.

Penafiel is rather lost in the middle, and yet with two major river valleys on its boundaries, this is an attractive place to spend a holiday. You can find out more about holiday rentals in Penafiel by reading our main page.

Holiday Rentals in the City of Porto

When you talk about holiday rentals in Porto you could be talking about anywhere in the administrative district of Porto. The jewel in this crown though is the city of Porto itself.

Restaurants, cafés, riverside walks and boat trips are all centred here. For more details about the attractions of this lovely city you need to look at our main pages on Porto holiday rentals

Matosinhos Holiday Rentals North of Porto

Much of the coastline of southern and south-western Portugal is quite "built up" but further north tranquility reigns.

Look at our main page on holiday rentals in Matosinhos to see what we discovered along this unspoilt shore.

Of all the municipalities in Porto District, the three most easterly, Amarante, Baiao and Marco de Canaveses are the most rural.
