Nestled just a short 10-minute drive away from the charming and renowned market town of Barcelos, this stone-built cottage underwent an extensive renovation project, which was concluded in July 2012. The outcome is nothing short of remarkable—a holiday villa that seamlessly blends contemporary comforts and modern conveniences with the rustic charm of its original structure. We are delighted to offer this splendid retreat to our guests who wish to explore the unspoiled beauty of the Minho region.
The villa promises absolute seclusion and is situated on an expansive plot, encompassing a beautifully enclosed garden with lush green lawns, an expansive outdoor barbecue kitchen, a private pool, a children's plunge pool, and a multi-sports area. As part of our commitment to ensuring your stay is enjoyable, we provide essential amenities such as WiFi internet access and air conditioning in the main house.
The villa is a single-story villa designed to maximize convenience and comfort. An open-plan, fully equipped kitchen seamlessly connects with the lounge area, both of which open onto the front terrace and the inviting pool area. The kitchen boasts granite countertops and a matching backsplash, along with essential appliances, including an oven, hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher, kettle, and coffee machine. A convenient breakfast bar with four stools invites casual dining. The lounge area features two comfortable sofas, a satellite TV for your entertainment, a DVD player, and a music centre.
The villa comprises three double bedrooms, two of which feature twin beds, while the third offers a double bed. There is also a wheelchair-accessible shower room for added convenience. Additionally, we can provide an extra bed or cot for a child (7th person).
The villa's exterior is a haven of tranquillity, surrounded by charming stone walls and a paved courtyard. An expansive private pool measuring 10 X 5 meters with depths ranging from 0.90 to 1.5 meters invites you to take refreshing dips. A separate children's pool ensures that young guests have their own safe space to splash and play.
Sports enthusiasts will delight in the outdoor sports area, equipped with football goals, a basketball hoop, tennis facilities, and badminton equipment. A sandbox is thoughtfully provided for younger children. A shaded vegetable garden area, just a stone's throw from the pool, allows you to harvest ripe tomatoes and peppers to enhance your culinary creations. A pergola-covered veranda beckons you to unwind and soak in the views. Convenient private parking spaces for two cars offer direct access to the villa, ensuring your convenience throughout your stay.
