Nestled in the serene hills of Paço da Glória, Mystic Stone Villa is a stunning retreat that blends traditional stone architecture with modern comforts. With nine elegant bedrooms, this spacious estate is perfect for families, friends, or intimate gatherings, offering breathtaking views of the Minho region and a tranquil setting to unwind.
Dating back to the 13th century, Paço da Glória’s origins are traced to a defensive tower built by Martinho Fernandes Vilarinho. Rebuilt in the 18th century, the estate has hosted historical figures, including Lord Peter Pitt Millward, a British aristocrat who enriched the interiors with artwork and sculptures from French museums like the Louvre. Now a classified Monument of Public Interest, it has been restored for exclusive retreats, events, and cultural experiences.
The estate features the Mystic Stone Villa building, comprising two private studio apartments and a main house with seven suites. A three-level tower houses a living room, dining room, and a fully equipped 40m² kitchen, ideal for preparing meals with fresh farm ingredients.
All rooms include luxury linens, bath amenities, individually controlled air-conditioning, and free Wi-Fi. Guests can relax by the cosy fireplace and Smart TV or explore the lush gardens. As a family-friendly accommodation, Mystic Stone Villa provides cots, high chairs, and child-friendly tableware. To encourage outdoor adventures, guests have access to raincoats and wellies to explore the beautiful surroundings.
Just a short drive from Minho’s vibrant towns, the villa offers the perfect mix of relaxation, history, and cultural discovery. Whether lounging by the private pool or gathering by the fireplace, Mystic Stone Villa promises a luxurious and unforgettable escape. Curious getaway filled with lasting memories.
- A car is necessary to fully explore the surrounding area, as the villa is located in a secluded spot.
- While the private pool is a highlight, young children will require constant supervision due to its depth.
- The villa’s rustic charm may not be ideal for guests seeking a more modern, contemporary style of accommodation.
- Please note that the gaps in the balcony balustrades exceed 10 cm in width; kindly review the photos carefully before booking. Children MUST be supervised by an adult at all times when on the balcony.
