A house where your dog is truly welcome
Finding a pet-friendly holiday house in Northern Portugal that genuinely welcomes dogs — not just "with restrictions" in the small print — isn't always easy. At Alojamento Rio Neiva, your dog isn't merely tolerated: it's welcome. We rent the entire house just for your group, in Tregosa, in the heart of the Minho, with a private walled garden where your pet can run and play safely, away from the road and from neighbours.
There are 4 bedrooms for up to 8 guests, spacious living areas, a fully equipped kitchen, a barbecue and a private pool right outside. No hotel corridors, no fixed schedules, no sharing space with strangers — just your family, your dog stretching out on the sunny lawn and the calm of the Minho countryside. The house has Wi-Fi, private parking and heating, ready for a summer of swims or a cosy winter weekend.
A secure garden and room for your dog to breathe
What really matters when you travel with a pet is the outdoor space, and that's where this house shines. Your dog has ground to run on, shade from the trees and a fenced garden that lets owners truly relax. To keep the stay pleasant for everyone, we simply ask for a few easy courtesies:
- Walled, secure garden, ideal for letting your dog roam without escaping onto the road.
- Generous space indoors and out — no dogs confined to a small room.
- Bring your pet's bed and bowl so it feels at home from the very first minute.
- Supervise around the pool, just as you would with children.
- Hygiene and respect for shared spaces and furniture, so the house keeps welcoming the next four-legged guests.
We accept pets genuinely; for groups with more than one dog or large breeds, just let us know when booking so we can arrange everything in advance.
Dog beaches, nature and walks for two (or four paws)
Northern Portugal is a paradise for travelling with a dog, and Tregosa sits in just the right spot to explore. A few minutes away you'll find the beaches and coast of Esposende (about 15 min), with wide sands for long walks outside peak season, trails along the Neiva river right next door, and the nature of Peneda-Gerês National Park, about 1 hour away, perfect for hikes with your pet.
Between pool dips and country strolls, the group has Viana do Castelo about 20 minutes away, Braga about 30 and Barcelos right next door, with its historic market. It's the ideal base to mix downtime at the house with trips to the beach and the mountains — always with your dog along.
