Castelo de Vide is a municipality on the east side of Portugal, just by the border that is shared with Spain. Just like the rest of the region, Castelo de Vide comes with a wealth of history; first recordings of it can be traced as far back as the 7th century. Originally prized for its strategic location by the border, forts were quickly built to reinforce its defences. During the 14th century, however, the settlement gradually expanded outside the castle walls, a layout that remains to this day. Walk through its winding streets today and you will be treated to clusters of beautiful, red-tiled houses — some neighbourhoods, like the Jewish Quarter, are particularly historical. If you are looking to get the best out of your trip to Castelo de Vide, check out our list of the top 10 Airbnb vacation rentals in the area.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on February 03, 2024.

Castelo de Vide — a taste of Medieval charm

Castelo de Vide is perhaps not your typical tourist spot. There are no modern shopping centres and other patronising luxury brand boutiques. On the contrary, this is an ideal place to get away from all that, and to enjoy an authentic Portuguese countryside life. Book a stay at one of these Airbnb rentals, and you might just be able to live like another Castelo de Vide local.
