Totally secluded Bohemian villa, great seaview
Quinta do Vale das Donzelas (Valley of the Maidens) / Nordstjärnan (Northern Star) is a totally secluded bohemian villa with uninterrupted views over the Atlantic Ocean, from Praia das Maçãs to Peniche, the valley of Colares and the Estremadura plain to Mafra Convent. The house, surrounded by a garden and wood forest, is set within a 10.000 square metre plot of land. Nature lovers can enjoy long walks in the wild garden, pick fresh fruit from the trees and meet the resident eagles and owl, or simply contemplate the ocean, the sunset or the stars from the terraces. The neighbours provide home-grown biological vegetables. Vegetarian food is available in Almoçageme, 2 km from the villa, where a traditional market is held on Saturdays and Sundays. Adraga beach, only two kilometres away, was ranked as one of the ’20 perfect European beaches’ by the Sunday Times in 2003.

Comments about the house
'What to say about a place that is simply magical and that brings back so many good memories? How to describe it? Maybe just as a charming, peaceful villa within a small, lovely village. A sunny and flowered terrace offers you a spectacular sea view. The interior is spacious, comfortable, and furnished in good taste. The garden, with its overgrown vegetation, is a real harvest of peace and fragrances. Nothing better to recharge the batteries and to rest. The place is both secluded and within a short distance of the sea (10 minutes only). In 45 minutes you can be in Lisbon. We will certainly come back with pleasure every year. We hope to find its owner there, too.' Joelle & Emmanuel Beer, Belgium, April 2006 'We had a great time. The house is lovely, and we had a marvellous time revisiting places we remembered and discovering new ones. We all loved Praia da Adraga and made several visits to the beach and fish restaurant. David Mason, United Kingdom, May 2006
'Having just returned from our week's holiday in the Quinta do Vale das Donzelas we can without doubt completely recommend this stunning house and beautiful area to anyone who is considering a holiday. Portugal is not only a very friendly, welcoming and fantastic country but the house is simply breathtaking with views you can't imagine. The owner of this house has surpassed all our hopes and dreams with making it into a wonderful home with every comfort you could wish for. The house keeping service, cleanliness and care is beyond any normal holiday villa. Our two teenage boys had so much space and loved eating outside on both the terraces. The gardens meander out to wonderful lawns and magical tropical plants at every turn. The house is so much bigger than anything we could have hoped for. Thank you so much for taking such good care of us, we would recommend your home to everyone, and hope to return again.' - Julie Weymes-Stidworthy, United Kingdom, August 2006

'We had a wonderful time at Quinta do Vale das Donzelas. It was much better than the photographs led us to believe. The area is fantastic [...]. We will definitely be considering returning'. Mr & Mrs Hirons , UK.
'We had a wonderful time at the villa. The location is wonderful.' Julian Hatherell, Canada, April 2007.
'Un accueil personnalisé, les produits régionaux à la cuisine, la présence discrète du propriétaire : tout est mis en place pour que l’on se sente chez soi dès notre arrivée. Une charmante maison qui offre à la fois le sentiment de vivre à la portugaise avec ses multiples terrasses aux parfums de fleurs et le confort de la vie moderne avec ses planchers chauffants. Endroit magique pour les enfants qui ont inventé des jeux que seule une maison à flanc de montagne permet d’imaginer. Un petit coin du Portugal qui offre beaucoup à visiter, mais qui se prête également à la détente et au repos.' Eve Rainville, UK, April 2007
