Self catering villa accommodation in converted Minho farmhouse near golf course in north Portugal

Casa do Pintor Overview
Restored country house with oak beams and stone fireplace situated in a riverside hamlet near to the Atlantic beaches.

The small holiday resort of Esposende which has sandy Atlantic beaches is about 7 kilometres away.

On the south side of the river entrance is Apulia where a collection of fishermen's huts are now restaurants serving barbecued local fresh fish. This is in contrast to the sophisticated restaurant in the nearby golf club.

Accommodation
The main entrance to the house is on the first floor which has an upper sitting room with two alcoves with doors and within each is a single bed.

A door leads out to a covered balcony with views over the bushes in the garden to the fields and the river.

A passage leads to two twin bedrooms, one of which has doors leading out onto the upper balcony.

A double bedroom also has doors leading out onto the balcony. Leading off the passage is a bathroom. A second area has a shower room and a separate toilet and washbasin.

Stairs lead downstairs to a passage with a kitchen at the end. A door leads out onto a terrace with a stone table and a barbecue. Also off the passage is a guest cloakroom.

There is a large living room with a dining room at one end with a carved dining table.

The other end has a sitting area with a stone fireplace. Patio doors lead out onto a lower covered terrace with an outdoor dining table with views of the lawn area and the shrubbery.

Leading off the living room is the master bedroom with twin beds and an en suite bathroom with heated towel rail.

Set in the upper lawn there is a small pool with a current to swim against. Alongside is a sitting area and also a sunbathing area enclosed by hedges.

The small but interesting garden is on many levels with paths winding among the many different varieties of shrubs and flowers.

Outside
This property is in an elevated position with views over the nearby river Cavado which has river beaches. Golfers will enjoy the new 9 hole Quinta da Barca golf course which is within walking distance. There is also a small riding school in the area.

The property is surrounded by mature gardens giving shade and privacy for sunbathing.

Location
A 30 minute car drive brings you to a number of interesting cities of northern Portugal. The largest is Oporto (Porto) which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Similar distances away are Braga which is the religious capital of Portugal, and Guimaraes which was the capital of Portugal during the period that Lisbon was occupied by the Moors.

Also within reach is the old sailing city of Viana do Castelo.
