Villa 6 bedroom Viana Do Castelo

As you approach Casa da Padeira you’re welcomed by flourishing Bougainvillea vines and tall, sweeping pine trees. It really sets the tone of this secluded countryside sanctuary!
This former baker's house has been lovingly restored to create a blissful blend of modern luxury and a traditional farmhouse feel. Stone-clad walls and large shuttered windows complement the state-of-the-art furnishings. Each of the bathrooms has its own unique and colourful floor tiling, adding a touch of personality to each of the ensuites.

Open up the shutters and let the countryside views pour in. Rolling hills and verdant landscape surround the villa, so picturesque panoramas are aplenty. With various seating areas dotted about the property you'll be spoilt for choice when it comes to putting your feet up and relaxing. Pour yourself a glass of whatever takes your fancy and unwind in this truly tranquil setting.

If a little extra privacy is on the wish list, this villa ticks the box. A separate annexe with a bedroom and bathroom sits in the grounds adjacent to the villa, a haven for peace and tranquillity. Each of the further five double bedrooms offer a relaxing place to lay your head. Elegantly designed with light and fresh décor, air-conditioning and your own ensuite. This is the epitome of comfort!

If you're looking to enjoy a little healthy competition, the Old Distillery was converted into a two-room annexe where you can enjoy a game of table tennis or pool in the evenings. With a large living room, the annexe provides the perfect social spot.

Outside, the heatable swimming pool takes full advantage of the nurtured gardens. You'll find no better way to cool down than taking a refreshing swim in the pool's glistening waters. The perfect centrepiece to a family holiday of fun in the sun! Elegant sun loungers sit poolside where you can kick back, relax and bask in the Portuguese sun.

The modern kitchen fitted with sleek marble worktops offers all the amenities you'll need to rustle up some hearty Portuguese cuisine. The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area with a large countryside style chic dining table. The sun pours in through the large wooden windows filling the room with light. A glorious setting for a tasty feast for the whole family.

If you're looking to dine under the stars then the spacious outside dining area can't be beaten! Host barbecues late into the evening and spend quality time with your family and friends. And if you're looking to put your feet up and enjoy that extra bit of luxury there's even a chef available for hire.

The outskirts of Afife town centre is just over 1km away, which is great if you are looking to tantalise your taste buds with local delicacies or perhaps wine and dine for a special occasion. Blessed with over 3km of stunning golden sand beaches, Afife is a place for the whole family to explore.

If you're looking to venture further afield, the town of Viana do Castelo is only a 15-minute drive away. Steeped in medieval history, rich in palaces embellished with coats of arms, churches and monasteries, monumental fountains and water features, Viana is a wealth of heritage worth visiting during your stay in the northern region.

Returning to your own private paradise, Casa da Padeira, truly is the ideal destination for a more than relaxing getaway.
