Villa Portosin

Situated on the beach in Portosin, in the Rías Baixas area of northern Galicia, sits this cheerful two-bedroom villa. With direct access to Coira beach, this neat property is the place to come if you’re looking for the sea- you really can’t get much closer to it than this!

Inside, the décor is plain and comfortable. Wood-panelled walls and white beach furnishings create a tranquil ambience in the living room, and it won’t be long before you’re relaxing on the sofa and staring through the huge windows, mesmerised by the views. Handily, the two sofas double up as single beds for children, and there’s also a TV to keep them entertained. Overlooking the lounge is a small kitchen for preparing delicious meals that can be served at the sit-up counter. But for a more inviting dining venue, step through to the covered veranda. Featuring a six-seater table and floor-to-ceiling glass windows, it’s a delightful space. Once you’ve eaten, cosy up with a good book or sit back and watch the surf gently lapping against the shore.

Two double bedrooms can also be found on this floor, and both are a good size. Wood panelling, white linen and marine blue cushions create a soothing atmosphere, while large windows overlook the beach and garden and flood the rooms with plenty of uplifting light. There’s a bathroom with a shower on this floor and an extra bathroom on the lower ground floor.

While the interior is simple, the outdoor setting is sublime. And happily, it’s only a hop and a skip straight from the veranda onto the beach. Spend the day in the surf, build castles on the shore, or explore the coastline in the villa’s kayak. And when you tire of the beach, simply wander back to the villa barefoot, rub the sand from your feet, and enjoy a cool drink in the pretty garden. Alternatively, pull up a sun lounger and enjoy a snooze under a shady tree. When the day starts to draw to a close, light the barbecue, gather the family, and dine al fresco at the outdoor table. Afterwards, you might be tempted to stretch your legs before bed with a walk along the shore. Villa Portosin is ideally placed for beach-lovers, yet it is only a 5-minute walk to the restaurants and shops in the small town of Portosin.
