Overview
The elegant Villa Moreira sits nestled in the picturesque North Portuguese countryside, surrounded by nature. This recently renovated, two-storey, detached family villa has five spacious ensuite double bedrooms and can comfortably accommodate up to ten guests, ideal for a large family holiday or a group of friends' get-together.
Enter the villa at the ground floor level, where you will find an expansive open-plan living space with floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows that offer sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. The seating area features a large wrap-around sofa, matching pouffe, two armchairs, a coffee table, a sideboard, and satellite television. A striking fourteen-seater indoor dining set sets the stage for some splendid indoor entertaining. The white and stainless steel kitchen is fully equipped with everything you will need to cater for your holiday, including a huge American-style fridge freezer and that must-have Nespresso coffee maker. A stylish bar furnished with four stools is the perfect place to meet for cocktails as the sun sets. A convenient guest cloakroom with a WC and a hand basin completes the ground floor.
Take the floating glass-sided wooded staircase to the upper floor, where there are five generously appointed bedrooms, all dressed in bright jewel colours. Three of the bedrooms have queen-size Moreira, and two have twin beds, a great configuration for families or friends travelling together. All the bedrooms have sleek ensuite shower rooms with hand basins and WCs.
Open the sliding door of the living space and step out onto the countryside view-paved terrace. The star of the show is a centrepiece step-entry swimming pool, long enough for a few lengths before breakfast. Sun loungers and a parasol invite guests to bask in the summer sun before cooling down under the outdoor shower. Feast on local delicacies freshly grilled on the barbeque, and enjoy dining alfresco under a twinkling sky.
Modern comforts are seamlessly integrated into the villa's facilities, including complimentary Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and heating. Private parking is available, though with a steep access. The kitchen is well-equipped with an oven, hob, dishwasher, washing machine, American-style fridge/freezer, microwave, and a Nespresso coffee machine. For families, the inclusion of baby amenities adds a thoughtful touch to the villa's offerings, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay for guests of all ages.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa MoreiraVilla Moreira can be found in the heart of the north Portuguese countryside, surrounded by nature. The villa is thirty-five kilometres from the bustling city of Porto, and the nearest airport is Francisco Sa Carneiro, from where a forty-five minute scenic drive will take you to your holiday home. Provisions for your holiday can be found five kilometres away in the local village, where there are minimarts, markets, bakeries, restaurants, and bars.
The nearest bathing spot is a kilometre walk away on the banks of the River Douro, where you can also test your skills with some watersports. For something more sedate, all aboard and sail down the River Douro. Keep fit and active by walking, hiking, and biking the local nature trails and discover the area's flora and fauna.
Spend the day in the city of Porto, the centre of which has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Sit in squares and drink coffee, watching the world walk by, seek sanctuary in the cathedral and churches, visit Livaria Lello, reputedly one of the world's loveliest bookshops with a famous red staircase, wander around Ribeira, an old part of town with cobbled streets, souvenir shops, and inviting restaurants, before sampling some port in Porto. Or simply sunbathe on its golden sands, swim in the Atlantic Ocean, and feast on seafood by the seashore.

ABOUT THE DOURO
A symbol of Portugal’s birth and growth as a nation, the Douro has long been the country’s lifeline. Leaving the pastel-coloured metropolis of Porto, venture through the enchanting countryside.
Following the winding Douro river east from Porto reveals one of the most scenic drives in Europe and Portugal’s premier wine region, the Douro Valley. With terraces of vines lining the riverbanks, Douro Valley holidays offer stunning hiking trails, beautiful viewpoints and a wonderful selection of peaceful retreats.
In the Douro, you will find quiet towns and villages, vineyards hugging the bends, castles from the time of the Reconquest and other places worthy of a stop to look far into the horizon.
Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesYou and your family can have a lot of fun when you stay at Villa Moreira, starting with your own private pool, where they can swim and splash all day, and gorgeous lawned gardens, where they can safely play. The River Douro is a kilometre walk away, perfect for sunbathing and picnics on the banks and exhilarating water sports for your older kids.
Keep them active with walks in nature; the villa is in the heart of the Portuguese countryside, where you can discover the local flora and fauna. Or go further afield to the Peneda-Geres National Park, with its beautiful landscapes and hiking trails.
The nearest beach is a thirty-five-kilometre drive, but well worth it for the soft golden sands and crystal clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean, where they can swim and snorkel.
Spend the day in Porto, visit the interactive World of Discoveries and the Science and Technology museums, see the fish at the Sea Life Porto Aquarium, have some fun at the Povoa de Varzim Aquashow Park, then explore the old town, and eat ice cream in the city square.
Check out the local calendar of events, festivals, and markets, where there's always something to do and see in season.
