This house seems 'remote' but really it is not. It is in the countryside, but in 20-25 minutes you can be on the wonderful coastal towns and beaches of Esposende and Viana do Castelo. Braga is also very easy to reach, as is Ponte de Lima, and Porto. Even though it's in the countryside, it's still only 5 minutes walk to the local cafe and mini grocery store. The house enjoys a peaceful and safe location, great for adults and children to relax and enjoy their holidays. The outside grounds are very large and there are lots of trees and open ground for children to explore. Also the hills around are perfect for mountain bike lovers. The pool is large (10m x 5m) and we provide a BBQ grill. There are also sun loungers and parasols and you can also eat outside 'al fresco'! There are lots of shaded areas for you to relax in, take a book and read or just have a siesta! The house is a traditional thick stone building and is nice and cool in the summer. You will notice from the pictures the quality of the wooden window shutters, which are beautifully made. The house has lots of space for your family and friends to relax and enjoy. The main hall leads off to the dining area with a table that comfortably seats 8-10 persons. From there you can access the kitchen which is very well equipped. There is a very spacious and comfortable lounge with fireplace, and in the corner of this very large room is a set of table chairs, ideal for sit and play board games or cards. On the same level of the house there are three bedrooms. All of the bedrooms have lovely shutter doors which lead directly outside to the balcony / terrace. The Master bedroom has a large double bed and a superb en-suite bathroom. This bathroom has a walk-in walk-out shower (see pictures) with direct access to the balcony / terrace.
