Holiday Rentals in Penafiel - A Guide to Penafiel
This municipality in Porto District is just to the west of Marco de Canaveses. The Tamega River forms much of the boundary between the two.
Although the city of Penafiel, from which the municipality takes its name, is to the north, most Penafiel holiday rentals are to be found in the southern part, in or near the river valleys.
The river Duoro here forms the boundary between Porto District and Viseu district and the Duoro valley is the location of many holiday rentals in Penafiel as well as the neighbouring municipalities of Gondomar and Marco de Canaveses.
The valley of the Tamega river is also a popular location for holiday rentals in Penafiel but is perhaps not so well-known as the Duoro valley.

Penafiel Useful Information
A car is essential to get the most from this area as your Penafiel holiday rental will mostly be a base from which to explore the Porto area.
Car hire at Porto airport is easy to arrange and having a car will enable you to visit the “must sees” of Porto and the Duoro valley. A day in the city of Porto is very enjoyable and the drive there along the Duoro river is very scenic.
You can even drive from your holiday rental in Penafiel into northern Spain although there is plenty to see closer at hand and the coast is less than an hour away by car.
