Lovers of contemporary architecture will adore Villa Esqueiro. It has been brilliantly built into the hillside, just 2.5km from the old Roman town of Caminha and 2km from Caminha’s glorious sandy beaches. Taking advantage of its elevated position, the glass architecture offers the most amazing ocean views and drowns the villa’s magical spaces with natural light. Villa Esqueiro boasts three stunning bedrooms, three immaculate bathrooms, a super trendy living space, a cool kitchen and incredible outdoor space. With a unique shaped, stylish swimming pool, manicured gardens and these fabulous, uninterrupted views across to the sea, guests may find it hard to leave this luxurious paradise.
