Quality Villa with Separate Guest House And Private Pool

Afife is a small village on the Costa Verde, under an hour's drive from Oporto Airport and the World Heritage city of Porto, the home of Port wine. Popular over many decades with wealthy Porto families, many of whom have their summer houses in the village to take advantage of the cooling sea breezes. Minutes from the long sandy beaches, the village stretches into the forested hills above, which is where our house sits, backing onto eucalyptus and pine trees.

The villa is approached through a terraced garden and comprises of a Main House, originally a farmhouse, and a Guest House next to the pool. There are multiple terraces to eat on to suit all tastes and times of the day with different amounts of shade. Although some parts of the property have sea views, the main outlook is over the peaceful valley with its patchwork of fields and terraces of vines.

The Main House has been extended and modernised over the 45+ years we've owned it and now has a large sitting room with a high vaulted ceiling, a large kirchen, 3 bedrooms, 3 bath or shower rooms and a utility room. The Guest House was built about 10 years ago and has a sitting room and a large bedroom, both with french doors onto a long shaded terrace, a small kitchen ideal for preparing poolside meals and a large bathroom.

The kidney shaped Pool adjoins the Guest House terrace. Beyond are further terraced lawns, leading into woodland.

The scent of eucalyptus and lavender in the air ensure you'll sleep like a baby!
