Photos and Description of this Minho & Costa Verde holiday villa Accommodation for Two Families - Sleeps 10. Large Walled Garden.

A large, architect designed, private villa near Caminha. The accommodation is immaculate and looks out onto a heated pool and landscaped garden that are hidden from outsiders by high walls. The villa accommodates two families with ease. There are two master bedrooms with double beds and en-suite bathrooms, a shared bathroom and two further bedrooms, one with twin bunks and one with two singles. Two PlayStations, games, DVDs, CDs and a large table football will keep the children (and dads) happy when they are not splashing in the heated pool or running in the large garden. The nearby fortified medieval market towns are picturesque and well maintained. This is a green and hilly region where the well-to-do Portuguese go to on holiday. It is quiet but it has plenty of restaurants, bars and cafes. The villa is about 10 minutes by car from a series of golden sandy beaches that stretch for many miles. The local beach has riverside area that is sheltered from the surf. Over the river is Spa.

The villa is a few minutes by car from Caminha which is a historic market town with medieval walls, cobbled streets, bars, cafes and restaurants. Vila Nova de Cerveira is perhaps 15 minutes away by car. It has a similar historic centre with bars and cafes but it also has a wonderful outdoor Saturday market. Viana do Castelo and Ponte de Lima are about 20 minutes by car, they are the largest local towns and both offer historical interest. This coast has mile after mile of beach with golden sand. It is the Atlantic so there is no shortage of surf and it is popular with surfers. The nearest beach is in Caminha about 7km from the villa, this has a sheltered spot inside the mouth of the beautiful Minho river. The next beach is Moledo which is rather trendy and a few km on from there is Ancora which is a bit more commercial, after that Afife which is huge and wide-open. There are small bars and restaurants at all the beaches. Porto is an easy-going one hour drive with spectacular views.

Midwinter getaway

Review Submitted: January 20, 2009 Date of Stay: January 2009
Having seen the website, I had expected the villa to be of a high standard. However, I am not underestimating when I say that it was faultless.

For my mother's 70th birthday we decided to get away for a few days. This also gave me the perfect opportunity to investigate the villa and surrounding area, as I had been planning to do for some time. As if one needs an excuse!

Although easily accessable from Porto, a hire car is almost a necessity. However, in little over an hour the delightful Costa Verde is begging to be explored.

The villa itself is entirely as described. I would delicately suggest that the photos do not really do it justice. On arrival it was fastidiously clean, tidy, and prepared for our stay. Although necessities may be in the cupboards, and wine in the rack, the villa is supplied on a self-catering basis- so replace that which you devour! However, Caminha the local town has both a supermarket and smaller shops open fairly late into the evening.

Large open plan spaces, a wood-burning stove (plus central heating), a great hi-fi, an internal atrium and very comfortable beds make the living arrangements a joy, and entirely relaxing. The pool looked great, but the air was just a little too chilly to get us in...

Beautiful medieval villages appear to have had a healthy injection of EU maintainance grants, there is no shortage of photo opportunities or good, reasonably priced places to eat. Caminha itself is pretty, but venturing further afield to the likes of Viana do Castelo or Vila Nova is very rewarding. The beaches at Caminha and Moledo are both clean and beautiful, and I'd imagine pleasantly warm in summer. Even at the start of the year the temperature was very pleasant, and they looked to be perfect for surfing too...

All in all, I cannot speak highly enough of either the accomodation or the location. Coupled to good local food and friendly locals you can't go far wrong in this beautifully set and maintined high class holiday villa. Try it!

Review Submitted: January 13, 2009 Date of Stay: February 2008
This was a fabulous house in a wonderful spot in an unspoilt part of Portugal. Weather was superb on both visits, despite one being Feb half term (warm sunny days). House is clean, spacious and airy seating great both inside and out and some nice quirky additions to simple decor (loved the posters)

Family or Friends - this is a great place to stay

Review Submitted: January 13, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2008
We have stayed here twice - once for a week. The second time for 2 weeks. The property has all you need and more, with a great pool and a private and enclosed garden.

The town of Caminha is 10 minute drive away with bars and restaurants, and another 5 minutes the beach. The supermarkets have a good selection of all the basics and the local wines which are very good.

We have kayaked down the river and driven into the mountains for picnics by the same river, and swam in the mill pond.

Others in our party went hiking in the mountains. If you fancy going to Spain, there is a ferry which takes you across the river.

The owners are multi lingual - so anything that you need is resolved very quickly and easily whether Portuguese or English.
