Holiday Rentals in Viseu - A Guide to Viseu
Viseu municipality and the town with the same name are almost in the centre of Viseu district and roughly equidistant between the Atlantic Ocean and the Spanish border. Most Viseu holiday rentals are in the countryside outside the city and are more suited to those who like an open-air type of holiday than those looking for wild nightlife.
The city of Viseu was originally a walled town and remains of the old walls can still be seen in many places. The large cathedral has an impressive interior and churches and chapels abound. In the medieval centre it is fun to explore the alleyways and staircases reminiscent of a bygone age.

In the surrounding countryside are all types of Viseu holiday rentals with the exception of apartments to rent in Viseu.
These houses to rent in Viseu are variously described as villas, farmhouses and cottages regardless of their size, and it is important to look closely at the details and not to narrow one’s search too much.
A lot of holiday rentals in Viseu have pools but not all and, in an area surrounded by mountains, there is an abundance of rivers and streams quite safe for bathing.
This is an important wine producing area (Dao wines) and some Viseu holiday rentals are located on wine estates, either in the main house or in converted wineries.
Viseu was once on an important crossroads and housed an important Roman garrison. Still today, the A24 and A25 motorways cross near the city giving easy access to any Viseu holiday rental. In spite of the presence of two main roads, this is still a rural area with a low population and holiday rentals in Viseu can be very attractive to those wanting a quiet peaceful holiday but who don’t want to be completely isolated.
