Moradia Norte Portugal
Holiday Home Rental Description
Surrounded by pine forests and lush green landscapes typical of this region of northern Portugal, Moradia Norte is a contemporary villa with stunning views of the Minho River and all the feel of a paradise retreat.
This holiday home complements the wild terrain that surrounds it with an earthy interior design that creates a stylish yet warm atmosphere. Large patio doors that run almost the entire length of the villa on one side give you uninterrupted views of the idyllic scenery.
To the ground floor are a spacious and contemporary bedroom with double bed, ensuite shower room and doors opening onto a terrace. Another light and airy bedroom have twin beds and also has an ensuite shower room and door with terrace access.
The master double bedroom is situated on the first floor and enjoys an ensuite bathroom and doors that open onto a generous terrace with private swimming pool. The views from this bedroom are simply spectacular and are the perfect scenes to wake up to every morning. The sense of luxury continues into the ensuite bathroom, with a large bath and double sinks. A sizeable living area features hardwood floors throughout and a large sofa and armchairs for cosy evenings in front of the fire listening to music or watching a film. There’s also a pool table for friendly tournaments to discover who the pool master amongst you is. The dining area flows on from the living/game room and has a classic wood table with stylish seating for up to eight people. A well-equipped kitchen has doors opening out onto the terrace.
The outside space’s main feature is the large decked terrace with a private swimming pool that runs the whole length of the villa, with access from doors in the bedroom, living and dining areas and kitchen. A small table and chairs next to a barbecue provide the option of al fresco dining, with seating and sun loungers allowing everyone to soak up the views. A garden area and surrounding pine forest complete the features of the plot.Amenities can be found within a 20-minute walk from the villa and include a minimarket, restaurants and shops. If you want a larger selection of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants, you’ll need to head further afield to towns such as Carminha.
Carminha is just 6 km away, with its popular sandy beach of Foz do Minho. Being where the Minho River meets the sea, there are plenty of activities to suit the conditions of both stretches of water. The sea here benefits from strong winds coming in off the surrounding hills, so is ideal for windsurfing. If you prefer something a little more sedate, the river offers you the chance to swim or kayak.
The old town centre of Caminha is full of characterful historic buildings, including a clock tower and 16th-century church. Many people also enjoy just sitting in the main square with its large choice of cafes and restaurants. You’ll find that it’s a place popular with locals as well as tourists, so it’s a great opportunity to soak up the local culture and atmosphere.
Around a 30-minute drive south from the villa is another historical town, Viana do Castelo. It’s rich with medieval and Renaissance architecture, museums and religious sites of interest. One of the most famous attractions is the mountaintop Santuário de Santa Luzia, which is just north of the town. Take the funicular railway up the hill to experience this beautiful church in all its glory, as well as the spectacular views of the town and surrounding area.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
