Casa da Padeira, Viana do Castelo, Costa Verde

Picture yourself sat with your nearest and dearest, looking over the vast Atlantic Ocean as the sun sets over it from the comfort of your villa. You can go for an evening swim in the fading light, or sit on the terrace and watch the sun sink beyond the horizon with a cool drink in hand. This dream can come true with your next getaway in Costa Verde at the incredible Casa da Padeira.

Bask in the morning sun whilst listening to the breeze as it gently sways the thick forest that sprawls out next to your large private pool. Swim some lengths in the calm water to start your day, and then relax poolside on the sun loungers as the golden light climbs over the trees. It’s easy to forget what normal everyday life is like once you’ve spent some time in the serenity of this villa.

Spend your day sunbathing in your favourite spot on the luscious lawn, or look for entertainment inside the old distillery. Fully refurbished and transformed into a large games room, challenge your friends and family to a tournament of ping pong or pool for a bit of friendly (or maybe not so) competition.

The true beauty of this villa comes out as the sun begins to set, casting its golden light over the terraces and pool. Grab a cool beverage and drink in the view on the beautiful terrace to the side of the old distillery, also known as the “G&T evening spot”.

If the outside wasn’t impressive enough, inside the villa elevates things to the next level. Effortlessly charming and modern whilst also maintaining true to its roots as a baker’s house, you’ll find it very easy to relax in any of the rooms. From the fully fitted kitchen and dining room, the cool and comfortable living room and the cosy bedrooms, this villa is beautifully furnished from the top to bottom.

If a bit of extra privacy is what you need, the separate annexe adjacent to the villa is kitted out with its own bedroom and bathroom, ideal for those who enjoy an early night.

Within a 20-minute drive is the beautiful medieval city of Viana do Castelo, with bars, restaurants and shops aplenty for every one of your needs.

It’s difficult to put into words how impressive the view is from the terraces of Casa da Padeira, even photos don’t capture the beauty of it. Seeing the trees, the mountains and the vast Atlantic Ocean is awe inspiring, and even more incredibly, it’s all there at your doorstep. Your Casa da Padeira paradise is waiting for you.
