Villa do Meco Portugal
Holiday Home Rental Description
Stylish and contemporary, Villa do Meco is an outstanding property located in Aldeia do Meco, a small and tranquil village on the outskirts of Lisbon. Combining beautiful minimalist design with large sofas and classic features, the villa has a warm and welcoming feel, with architectural features that add a special touch.
Built over two levels, each living space is as bright and airy as the next, with a sequence of delightful rooms flowing through the villa. The windows are designed with minimalist frames, embedding the views within the villa’s walls, just a fingertip touch away. The main living space is spread between two rooms, both open-plan.
The larger of the two spaces accommodate the kitchen and dining areas, as well as a cosy nook with a sofa and fireplace, where you can curl up and read a book with your morning coffee, enjoying the light that shines through the adjacent patio doors. A couple of steps lead down to the lounge where the ceiling shoots up to a double-height, with expansive windows that flood the space with natural light. A huge sofa dominates the room with a fireplace and views of the surrounding trees to steal your attention. This warm space is light and spacious, yet the soft materials and cosy colours create a homeliness that makes it easy to instantly relax.
The villa’s two ground floor bedrooms are both equally modern in their design. Each comes with its own garden access and tranquil views out to the pretty surroundings. Boasting sleek en-suite bathrooms, with walk-in showers you can enjoy your own privacy, returning to the communal areas to spend time as a group. There are two further bedrooms, one on the first floor and the second on the lower ground floor. The lower ground floor room is much the same as the other two, with a double bed, en-suite bathroom and access to the garden. The first floor room is huge, with a further living room at its disposal, alongside its en-suite bathroom, perfect for those who enjoy a little extra privacy.
Stepping outside, the contemporary design continues, with a private heated pool, luscious garden, outdoor dining area and fabulous barbecue. If long days in the sun are called for, then this is the perfect spot, offering plenty of room for you to relax under the clear blue sky’s of Portugal!This stunning villa is located in Aldeia do Meco, a small and tranquil village on the outskirts of Lisbon.
