This magical home in a stunning rural location has to be seen to be believed. Nestled in the Minho region of northern Portugal, it's around an hour from Porto, with the city of Braga just 10 miles away, but all you'll see here are green hills in every direction. 

Set on a hillside, your home has incredible gardens that go up and up, at one point disappearing into woodland. With a number of lawns and terraces, as well as a beautiful private pool and terrace, you won't be short of outside space – or somewhere for some quiet reading away from the group.

Inside, this traditional home has bags of character, with exposed stone walls, an eclectic mix of statement furniture and plenty of colourful wall art. A cosy living room features a log burner for the cooler months and there's a practical kitchen with all the mod-cons. And here you can choose to eat at the antique dining table indoors or out on the beautiful covered terrace. Meanwhile, a surprisingly contemporary staircase leads up to a galleried landing and there's a surprise in store up here – a pretty balcony with incredible views.

Settle into this cosy wooden cabin on the Minho coastline, ideal for a long weekend or couple's retreat. The large communal pool and children's play area offer entertainment and a refreshing break from the Portuguese sun, while the private patio boasts room to dine alfresco and work on that perfect tan. While space indoors is limited, the kitchen is fully equipped and one guest can be accommodated on the sofa bed. We think it's worth having a car here for getting around with ease, but if you don't drive, fear not. The centre of Fão is a breezy stroll away, while the golden sands of Praia de Ofir are easily reachable on foot.

Secluded yet conveniently located, this stylish single-story villa in Moledo is the perfect pick for a family or small group of friends looking for privacy and comfort, without being too far from sandy beaches and charming towns. Mornings begin with laps in the private pool, before drying off on a sun lounger as you gaze out to the unspoilt landscape surrounding the home. 

Stepping inside, you'll immediately notice the modern touch that's been given to the villa – from the pop art adorning the walls to the patterned rugs and string lighting. Mastering indoor-outdoor living, the interiors benefit from a vast casement window and sliding glass doors that invite sunlight into the living area and keep the picturesque views at the forefront of the home.

Enjoy cooking for your group in the sleek marble kitchen, or alternatively, you can grill up alfresco meals on the barbecue outside. Sink into the squishy bean bag with your holiday read, soaking up the warm weather. Both bedrooms benefit from large glass doors opening onto the front decking, so you start each day with a spring in your step, ready to explore. 

When it's time to head out, you're fifteen minutes on foot from Caminha's sandy beaches and its old roman town, with excellent restaurants, cafes, bars, lively promenades and open-air esplanades around the Minho river's waterfront. If you're looking for more, catch the daily ferry boat out to the ruins of the fort of Ínsua in a matter of minutes, or drive to the beaches and historic town of Viana do Castelo, just 35 kilometres away.

Sitting close to the point at which Trás-os-Montes crosses over to the famed Alto-Douro wine region, this nine-hectare oak forest was abandoned in the middle of the 20th century and mother nature allowed to run her course. That is until 2010 when the farmhouse hidden away on the site was almost completely reconstructed into this incredible holiday home.

There are a few stone walls and wooden beams that hark back to this history, but otherwise, it's a strikingly modern affair, with a stylish collection of artwork, decorative items and furnishings waiting to be discovered throughout the space. There are so many aspects you're sure to be enamoured by as you take a tour, from the minimalist kitchen to the freestanding tub in the master bathroom.

That's not to forget the fabulous amenities here, either. If you're after a dose of relaxation, you're in luck – not only is there an indoor swimming pool, there's a sauna and Jacuzzi to retire to afterwards. There's also a fair bit of outside space for making the most of sunny weather, including a terrace with seating.

Plus, there's a whole range of distractions that lie nearby, too. Parque Natural do Alvão is a short drive away if you're ever in the mood for long rambles through scenic Portuguese countryside, while there are a number of towns close by – Vila Real and Régua among them – in which you can get acquainted with the region's rich gastronomic traditions. 

Regrowth & Rebirth

Nestled within mature gardens and surrounded by hilly countryside, this Portuguese pad is both stylish and secluded. Located between the historic fortified town of Caminha and the golden sands of Vila Praia de Ancora – just 10 minutes away – this captivating casa offers access to a wealth of stunning natural landscapes, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture and sensational local food and wine. We don’t know about you, but that sounds like heaven to us.

You’ll love taking your morning coffee at the breakfast bar in the open-plan living area before stepping out into the garden. Bagsy one of the loungers and get stuck into your holiday read while topping up your tan on the poolside patio. You’ll be treated to countryside and even sea views from here. Feel revived with a refreshing dip in your private, outdoor pool before sauntering over to the barbecue area. Gorge on Portuguese eats while sat around the wooden dining table on the covered terrace.

If you fancy amping up the luxe factor, why not indulge in an at-home massage? Believe it or not, you’ll also be able to enjoy the services of a beautician and a private chef. Alternatively, if you can bring yourselves to part with such privacy, you’ll be able to try your hand at wine and olive oil tasting, horse riding, golf, and a variety of water sports.


History & Hedonism

Free Parking

Situated in a quiet neighbourhood, this charming home offers a little slice of tranquillity on the outskirts of vibrant Porto. Bathed in natural light, courtesy of the generous windows and use of partition glass to separate the spaces, this sleek home holds a real charm. A small balcony and the cosy terrace areas give you the opportunity to indulge in the Portuguese sun from the comfort of your own home, while the modern kitchen is ready and waiting to put your culinary skills to the test when you fancy a quiet evening in. Pair your meal with a local port, and enjoy the flow of conversation with loved ones over dinner. Afterwards, the sofa welcomes you to sink into it and relax into a movie night – but with plenty of quiet nooks around this home, if you’re not in the mood for a film you can easily find somewhere to settle down to get lost in your holiday read.
 
A mere twenty-minute drive and you’ll find yourself in the heart of Porto where you can visit the Cathedral, marvel at the stately bridges or simply stroll the cobbled streets, stopping off at merchants’ houses and the odd cafe for a little sustenance. However you spend your time in this beautiful city, you’ll make treasured memories that will last long after you’ve returned home. 

On the Heels of Porto

We're utterly in love with this reimagined farmhouse-style property located just outside of the idyllic old fishing village of Esposende. From its sunny yellow facade complete with quaint panelled windows and traditional terracotta roof tiles to its elegant interior that retains many of its original, rustic features – not to mention the beautiful modern step-down swimming pool – we think it offers something truly unique and special for your holiday in this often-overlooked part of Portugal.

The indoor spaces of this home feel impressive and grand, and yet manage to exude a kind of homely warmth that's welcoming and comfortable. The bedrooms, in particular, are a favourite of ours. Awake as the gentle morning light begins to seep in through those large French windows with stained glass detailing and feel immediately enveloped in the majesty of these rooms, as the high ceilings and gorgeous furnishings create a sense of luxury. Coffee out on the terrace anyone? 

The living and dining rooms, too, have an undeniable opulence, giving off an irresistible old-world glamour. Make the most of the sense of occassion by coming together for a special meal, or simply enjoying one another's company in the effortless serenity of these spaces.

When you do fancy getting out of the villa, then you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to things to do in the local area. Explore the local town of Esposende where you will find fantastic fish restaurants serving up the freshest seafood. Or, make the short 30-minute drive to the historic city of Oporto – the centre of which is classified as a World Heritage Site. The sand beaches of this part of the Portuguese coastline are under four kilometres away too, so grab the suncream and a beach towel and get out there for a day of sun, sea, and unbridled relaxation (as well as some high-octane watersports if you like). In the mood for more activity? Then there is both golf and horse riding on offer in the local area.

If you love to make an entrance, you'll be smitten with this home perched upon the banks of the River Douro. You are, of course, more than welcome to arrive by car, but there's also the option to travel by boat from Pinhão or a local farm and alight at the private pier.

Whatever means you use to show up, you're sure to be instantly wowed by this remarkable address, one of two neighbouring homes that date back to 1876. While the exterior is traditional in appearance, the interior has been thoroughly modernised – and the home even comes with its own chef. 

When it comes to days out, you'll have an on-site villa concierge to help arrange excursions and ensure you make the most of the UNESCO World Heritage Site surrounding this home. The valley is famous for port production, so visiting a winery for a tasting is a must – but there are also boat trips and hiking routes to keep you entertained.

Outdoor Kitchen

This carefully renovated country house, where old and new seamlessly combine, provides you with everything you could need for an unforgettable stay in this picturesque part of northern Portugal. 

Inside, you'll find a calming palette of neutral tones, accented with restored original stone features, while outside a range of inviting seating areas put together with comfort in mind await you. Then of course there is that lovely lawn (perfect for a picnic or for any little ones to play on), the beautiful swimming pool that's simply made for sun-drenched afternoons, and even a mini football pitch and volleyball net for those who feel like getting active. If you fancy firing up some more friendly competition, there's also table tennis that's sure to get everyone involved. 

For something extra special, you can arrange cooking classes at the home – ideal if you would like to try your hand at replicating Portuguese specialties (and the well-equipped kitchen or typical outdoor churrasco provides the perfect place to do so). As evening turns to night, grab a chilled glass of regional Vinho Verde, head out to the terrace and listen to the sounds of the cicadas as the mouthwatering cooking smells begin to fill the air.

Red Stone

Welcome Hamper

Situated near one of Portugal’s oldest towns, this home offers peace and tranquillity. There are plenty of grounds to explore, including a pond (our favourite area), mature woodland and numerous paths leading into the countryside. Alternatively, simply unwind next to the private pool or admire the enchanting garden views from the veranda of the main house and the cottage.

This place is ideal for a large group of friends or family – there’s a charming separate cottage with a twin bedroom and kitchenette too, which provides a perfect space for those in search of a tad more privacy. If you love traditional interiors, then you’re in luck – from the grandfather clock in the dining room to the farmhouse-style kitchen and antique beds, this home is full of old-world character.

Nestled in a wonderful rural landscape, there’s plenty to see and do. Ponte de Lima, one of Portugal’s most historic towns, with its ornate squares, cobbled alleyways, and vast riverside Monday market, is just 13 kilometres away. The country’s only national park, the mountainous nature reserve of Peneda Geres National Park, is just a forty-minute drive away and offers prehistoric remains and walking trails, as well as golden eagles, deer and wolves – oh my.

Modern Talking

Balcony / Patio

There’s no price for guessing what the city of Porto is famous for. However, you may be surprised to find that this fortified wine begins its life far from the city, in the vineyards found upstream and on either side of the river Douro, and it’s here where you’ll find this eye-catching villa. Overlooking the slopes of Portugal’s wine region, this home boasts panoramic views that are almost impossible to tear your eyes away from. At sunset, make a beeline for the infinity pool that stretches out across the width of the house. There’s a second heated swimming pool to the side, best reached through the open-plan living and dining room. Take a dip beneath a starlit sky or sunbathe during the day. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors and windows can be found from the kitchen to the three bedrooms, effortlessly bridging the indoors and outside. The best views can be found from the balcony on the first floor. Since this area has been granted UNESCO World Heritage status, you’ll find that there’s plenty of exploring and hiking to do. But there’s also fun to be had at home on a rainy afternoon – challenge the group to a championship of billiards and table football and may the best team win.

Dreaming of the Douro

Resort Access

Amid the rolling hills and vineyards of the UNESCO-listed Douro Valley, this home opens its doors to a restorative countryside escape. Inspired by organic living, the clever owners have created a simple sanctuary where locally sourced furnishings and art sit alongside contemporary comforts. The garden features a private infinity pool and access to the Corgo River. There’s also a rustic wine cellar which can be used for events (upon request), and an independent studio sleeping four guests – making this the ideal location for groups to enjoy privacy and quality time together. 

The Gentle Earth

Surrounded by pretty vineyards, sprawling olive groves, and idyllic green peaks, this charming villa is wonderfully positioned in the heart of the wine-producing Douro Valley region. Make the most of the area and hike the world-famous Douro Valley, admiring the sweeping picturesque views, or indulge in some wine tasting at the nearby winery – pick out your favourite and enjoy it all holiday long. 

When you return to the villa, cool off in your private swimming pool, or simply relax in one of the outdoor seating areas. From garden tables and chairs, and sun loungers, to an outside dining area with a summer kitchen, this home provides the very best in outdoor living. The authentic Portuguese furnishings and natural tones inside blend with the rural backdrop of the surrounding terrains, and there's an easy, homey feel to the place. We particularly love the numerous patio doors, giving every room access to the outside space and flooding them with natural light.

The Vine Lady

Access to Beach

Between mature trees and open grassland, this modern villa invites travellers to the quiet countryside of Caminha. Not far from Santana, the shores of Praia de Moledo offer perfect surfing conditions – so be sure to visit and give it a go.

Inside, this bright home boasts a dramatic design with floor-to-ceiling windows and giant pop art pieces. With a stripped-back interior, the space feels calm and inviting. After waking up with the natural light, you'll want to sip galão while stretching your legs on the deck.

Soak up the morning sunshine as you read a book by your private pool. Why not bake pastel de nata with your children in the kitchen? Then, head out along a hiking trail before cosying up in front of the fireplace – this home encourages everyone to reconnect with nature.

Freshen up beneath your rainfall shower ahead of dinner – you can even have the best restaurant reservations made on your behalf as one of the extra services available, so all you have to do is enjoy yourself.

Pop Art Sticks

This villa in Moldes, Arouca is the ideal spot for a proper getaway with family and friends. You'll have privacy and seclusion here, with stunning mountain views from the private pool and outdoor seating area. The home can only be reached by car, so you'll want to hire one for your trip, but it's well worth it. You'll be exploring the area in no time, including the spectacular hiking trails of Arouca Geopark and the town's local restaurants. Indoors, every bedroom enjoys its own en-suite, and while the kitchen is on the smaller side, you'll have everything you need for whipping up delicious dinners.

The Green Tide

With a warm and welcoming interior filled with traditional design features and a range of helpful amenities, not to mention a truly stunning pool area that is simply perfect for long summer days spent basking in the almost guaranteed Portuguese sunshine, we think this delightful holiday home provides a great base for experiencing a slightly different side of Portugal. 

Situated in the picturesque Lima Valley, this location offers up an alternative to the classic beach break. Instead allowing you to soak up some typically Portuguese culture, cuisine, and even some Roman ruins in the history-laden villages that dot the valley. Hike or bike through unspoiled verdant landscapes, perhaps stopping at an authentic eatery for a taste of the local cuisine (we especially love the selections of local cheeses and meats on offer, as well as the hearty regional Caldo Verde). Then, it's back to the calm and comfort of your home away from home. 

Evenings can be spent sweating away the stress in your private sauna, replicating Portuguese favourites in the traditional covered outdoor churrasco, or simply absorbing every aspect of that phenomenal panoramic vista with a glass of Vinho Verde in hand. Be it an evening dip, a quick game or two of ping pong, or cosying up in the at-home cinema with a classic – this home provides plenty of scope for relaxation and action, socialising, or some much-needed me time.

The Sunshine House in the Hills

Baby Bath

Make the most of the Afife coastline from this luxurious villa and ensure the holiday of a lifetime. Nestled in a small village, and just a short drive from the jewel of Costa Verse, Viana do Castelo, this stunning villa sits in the verdant hills above the Atlantic Ocean. It’s a short distance to the powdery sands of Praia de Afife, the border between Spain’s Galicia, the adventure-packed rivers of the Rio Lima estuary and the countryside hiking trails in the Lima valley.

Inside, the space is dominated by an expansive, wooden-beamed living area where you’ll find an elegant dining table for sharing bacalhau fish stew dinners and a contemporary lounge boasting ambient lighting for cosy nights in sharing aperitifs. The sleek kitchen has plenty of prep space, courtesy of a glossy island, which keeps the space social. A second dining room leads off the kitchen and out onto the patio – we’ll be honest, this one’s our favourite – perfect for alfresco dinners together under pink-hued sunsets.

Staying outside, there are plenty of spaces for every member to unwind. The patio is decked out with lounge chairs, perfect for soaking up the sun before plunging into the pristine pool for a cooling dip. We have to say we think the garden is the ideal spot to begin mornings over fresh coffee and locally bought pastéis de nata and to end evenings with caipirinha cocktails under the starlit sky. 

Soul of Afife 

Parking On Premises

Imagine waking up in the morning, the sound of waves crashing in the near distance accompanied by the cawing of gulls or the delighted cries of children playing on the nearby beach. Open up the curtains and the coastal sunshine beams in, giving off just a slight morning warmth. Then you know – you're really on holiday, and the whole day stretches out before you. 

This home offers you the perfect location to experience those perfect moments, and much more. Step out onto the roof terrace to enjoy your morning coffee before setting off for the beach to make the most of a day filled with sun, sea, sand, and plenty of unforgettable memories with your nearest and dearest. 

Or, if you've had enough of the unspoiled sands of Viana do Castelo, then head into the charming trading town itself, where you'll find pretty backstreets lined with cafes, bars, and restaurants as well as the Basílica de Santa Luzia. Trust us, its unique architecture is well worth seeing. Alternatively, those with a yearning for attractions of the natural kind can look forward to venturing out into the expansive, verdant hills of northern Portugal or even trying their hand at some bodyboarding in the Atlantic waters off the coast.

Castelo on the Hill

With its long stretch of wild and beautiful beaches, the northern coast of Portugal is a haven for sun-seekers and surf lovers. And just a short drive from Moledo beach (one of the region's most renowned destinations), this villa provides the perfect setting for a dreamy coastal getaway.

Nestled within a sanctuary of trees and offering views across the Minho river, you’ll find this home is designed with your comfort in mind. The light and airy rooms are complimented by minimalist furnishings and floor-to-ceiling windows, while the peaceful bedrooms set the tone for total relaxation. 

Follow the views outside, and you’ll find the garden welcoming you to enjoy lazy days by the pool, relaxing sunset drinks and al fresco meals that linger long into the evening. 

From here, it’s just a twenty-minute walk to the nearest mini-market, while the charming old Roman Town of Caminha (just a short drive or energising walk away) boasts a lively promenade with an abundant selection of restaurants, cafes and bars – perfect for connecting with the authentic spirit of the region. And for explorations further afield, the coast is brimming with opportunities for hiking, cycling, wine-tasting and simply admiring the natural beauty of Portugal. 

Velvet Moon

Nestled in the Costa Verde countryside, this stylish villa offers guests a tranquil retreat while still being just a short drive (4 km) of the port town of Caminha. Wake up to breathtaking views of the sea and Minho River, before getting up close and personal with the water yourself on a visit to the Praia de Moledo and Foz do Minho beaches. This home boasts floor-to-ceiling windows that offer a seamless transition between these inside spaces and the outside amenities, namely the walled garden with private swimming pool and bean bags perfect for sunbathing.
