Villa 326 Luxurious near Beach Ideal for Families

Luxury, spacious and tranquillity are some of the keywords we can use to describe the atmosphere of this remarkable recently fully renovated 19th Century Farmhouse (original building dates back to 1860), carefully designed and lovingly restored to create a truly stylish and comfortable Portuguese retreat. Attention has been paid to detail and everything was considered to ensure all guests enjoy a warm and remarkable stay. This beautiful renovation is an elegant fusion of the Minho Region charm and tradition with contemporary furnishings and modern conveniences. Some of the of the original features were carefully kept (and fully renovated) such as handmade plaster ceilings, wooden floors and stone terraces. Together with the terracotta floors and exceptional outdoor furnishings, the result could only be a distinctive property that we are pleased to feature in our programme. The formal extensive gardens with many different quaint areas invite guests to relax in the shade or enjoy their meals outdoors. The large swimming pool is surrounded by a terrace with large comfortable sun loungers. Set at the end of the property is an admirable Noria, kept in the original condition.
