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.

About Portugal
Once boasting history's largest empire, Portugal now happily tends to its own small but beautiful patch, inviting visitors to uncover its treasure trove of natural wonders. From its 800 km coastline along the Atlantic to its golden beaches, clifftop castles, verdant valleys, mist-covered woodlands and beautifully preserved medieval towns, there’s far more to Portugal than just its balmy weather and seafood.
