Villa 4 bedroom Gouvães Do Douro

Accommodation

The careful and detailed renovation of a former typical Portuguese primary school has turned an old ruin into a luxury villa. The original construction (most of which was kept and improved) dates back to the Estado Novo - the corporatist authoritarian regime installed in Portugal in 1933 against the democratic and unstable Republic. The regime was later developed by António de Oliveira Salazar, ruler of Portugal from 1932 to 1968, when he fell ill and was replaced by Marcelo Caetano. Most of the public buildings built during the regime are still admired nowadays, including the primary schools. Tastefully furnished to the highest standards, incorporating a few restored master pieces of furniture from the original building, this property is undoubtedly a unique place to stay, surrounded by unspoiled nature and remarkable views. Guests will be pampered by local staff composed of a maid and cook who take care of the catering and cleaning of the house. Breakfast, lunch and/or dinner are available at an extra cost. The food was tasted by us and is purely excellent! This villa is a child friendly property making it suitable for families seeking an unforgettable holiday in one of Portugal's most sought after destination.
