With summer approaching, it seems that everyone - from working parents to recently graduated young adults - is looking to plan their next adventure. While the waffles in Belgium or pizza in New York may be enticing, it may be time to look at the western most country in Europe: Portugal. Portugal, home of Cristiano Ronaldo and the Boom Festival, holds an allure for all ages alike. And the country’s home airline TAP is working to offer affordable routes from various locations (including a roundtrip ticket from NY for only 503 USD). So, now that you’re ready to cross Portugal off your bucket list, check out some of the best Vrbo accommodations in Portugal and be sure to book soon before they’re all gone!
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 August 26, 2025.
1. Historic apartment in Santa Catarina (from USD 94)
This charming apartment is found in the center of the town of Santa Catarina. While it may not accommodate larger parties, with its one-bedroom space, it is the perfect getaway for anyone wanting to travel alone or with a friend. The apartment features historic architecture with a spotlight on its azulejos (glazed tiles from the 18th-century), but was fully renovated in 2004, so it combines old charm with contemporary updates. It’s a short walk to Chiado and Bairro Alto, which boast lively nightlife and great shopping. Still not convinced and need another reason to book this apartment? There is a stop for Tram 28 right near the apartment, which is known as the most scenic tram in Lisbon.
