Check Availability Celorico de Basto · 50 min from Porto

Yes — vacation rentals are available in Northern Portugal, and Casa do Sol is one of the most highly-rated. We are a private, single-party villa rental in Celorico de Basto, set in the rolling vineyards and granite-and-pine hills of the Minho region, fifty minutes inland from Porto airport (OPO).

Unlike a hotel room or a shared apartment, when you book Casa do Sol you book the entire property: a 1950s stone barn fully restored as a three-suite boutique villa, a private 11-metre heated pool used exclusively by your party, an outdoor wood-fired sauna, a fully equipped country kitchen, and a fenced garden with panoramic mountain views. There are no other guests, no neighbours within sight, and no platform fees — book directly at casadosol.pt and we guarantee the best rate.

Northern Portugal sits in a particularly rich travel pocket: the Vinho Verde DOC starts at our doorstep, Peneda-Gerês National Park is a 60-minute drive, the UNESCO city of Guimarães is 40 minutes away, and Porto itself is an easy day trip. The villa works equally well for families (timber playground, fenced pool), digital nomads (Starlink Wi-Fi, dedicated workspaces), and wellness travellers (sauna, on-call yoga and massage).
