Summary:
Welcome to a place where traditional Portuguese stone architecture meets expansive modern comfort. This estate in Paredes is designed for those who value privacy and quiet, making it the perfect base for large family reunions, focus-driven retreats, or group getaways. With generous indoor and outdoor areas, the home provides a unique atmosphere that balances historic charm with functional space.
The Space:
Experience the soul of the Portuguese countryside in this expansive 5-bedroom stone villa. Designed to balance rustic heritage with modern functionality, the interior features two generous living areas and a large, fully-equipped kitchen—ideal for long dinners and shared moments. Whether you are hosting a focused team retreat or a large family holiday, the layout offers both communal energy and private corners for everyone.
Leisure & Connection
Sport & Play: Stay active with exclusive access to the on-site football and tennis court.
Shared Pool: Cool off in the estate's swimming pool, a perfect spot for afternoon relaxation.
Professional Focus: A dedicated meeting room is available, providing a quiet environment for collaboration or deep work during retreats.
Vineyard Balcony: End your day on the peaceful balcony, enjoying unobstructed views of the surrounding vineyards.
Guest Access:
This villa is part of an exclusive private estate. While your home, balcony, and living areas are entirely private, the swimming pool, sports court, and outdoor grounds are shared with guests from one other similar house within the complex. This setup allows us to maintain expansive, high-quality facilities while ensuring a peaceful, low-density environment for everyone on the property.
The Neighborhood:
Located in the hills of Paredes, this villa offers a perfect balance of privacy and convenience. You are surrounded by traditional vineyards and forest trails, providing a quiet atmosphere that feels miles away from the city, yet remains easy to reach.
While the setting is rural, a short drive connects you to the local village center, where you can find authentic cafes, traditional restaurants, and daily markets. This region is the heart of Vinho Verde country; I highly recommend exploring the local cuisine and the genuine hospitality that defines Northern Portugal.
