Holiday Rentals in Vila Nova de Gaia - A Guide to Vila Nova de Gaia
This is the only coastal municipality in Porto district which is south of the city itself. Holiday rentals in Vila Nova de Gaia offer close access to Porto city, across one of the many bridges which span the Duoro river, but at reduced rentals compared with Porto city centre.
In fact, this southern bank of the Duoro is even more closely connected with the port wine trade and from a Vila Nova de Gaia holiday rental you may well be within walking distance of some of the “lodges” which offer guided tours. The waterfront is the focus of the tourist industry and here you will find bars and restaurants to spare.
Vila Nova de Gaia holiday rentals are located in the most densely populated municipality in the whole of the Norte Region and, although there is one small 9 hole golf course in the shadow of the Auto-Estrada do Norte, for “countryside” type of activities you would be better off heading for one of the less populated areas away from the city.

Types of Holiday Rentals in Vila Nova de Gaia
Vila Nova de Gaia holiday rentals are located in the most densely populated municipality in the whole of the Norte Region and, although there is one small 9 hole golf course in the shadow of the Auto-Estrada do Norte, for “countryside” type of activities you would be better off heading for one of the less populated areas away from the city.
There are two types of apartments to rent in Vila Nova de Gaia, those close to the beach and those best described as “city apartments”. In neither case are they likely to have pools or gardens. There are a few villas to rent in Vila Nova de Gaia and these are, in the main, close to the beach. Many are described as having direct access to the beach and whilst they may have a garden, again few have pools.
The beaches here are less crowded and less “developed” than in more popular areas which gives them a certain appeal. And, of course, this is a west-facing coast so in the evening you can sit among the dunes in front of your Vila Nova de Gaia holiday rental and watch the sun set over the ocean.
