Villa Marco, Porto Region

Property ref: PP1376


An original farmhouse, cleverly redesigned and restored to create a very special villa experience

This 19th century farmhouse has been lovingly restored and carefully designed to create a sumptuous, Portuguese retreat. The owners have paid attention to every detail to ensure that guests have the most comfortable stay.

This beautiful renovation is an elegant fusion of the Minho Region charm and tradition, with contemporary furnishings and modern conveniences. Some of the of the original features have been retained, including the handmade plaster ceilings, wooden floors and stone terraces. Combined with the terracotta floors and exceptional outdoor furnishings, this is a truly unique rental property.

The formal and extensive gardens have enviable lawns and numerous areas for guests to relax in the shade or enjoy their meals outdoors. The large swimming pool is surrounded by a terrace with large comfortable sun loungers. The first 2 metres of the pool are only 20cm deep to allow for guests to lie and cool off with ease. Set at the end of the property is an admirable Noria, kept in its original condition -  an ancient hydropowered mill used to lift water into an aqueduct.

The old fishing village of Esposende is just 1.3kms away, where there are lots of wonderful restaurants and cafes. The sandy beaches are only 3.4 kms away and they are reknowned for kite-surfing and other watersports. There are 2 padel courts only 800m from the villa. Padel is one of the fastest growing sports, especially in Portugal, where many people are falling for its addictive and fun qualities!

Things we love...

"This beautiful estate is the perfect backdrop for a relaxing holiday or an activity-packed adventure. Villa Marco encourages guests to relax and unwind in its idyllic setting but the house and area also have so much to offer with its vast private swimming pool and grounds to explore. Close by you'll find Padel Tennis, Kite Surfing, Horse Riding, the beach, bars and wonderfully authentic restaurants to savour". Matthew, Reservations Manager

Things we love
“Porto is the perfect size to explore by foot. Guests will love wandering down the alleyways full of history and nostalgia, or strolling across the famous Dom Luís I Bridge before sampling some of the delicious local Port wine!”
Things to be aware of
“While the cobbled streets add character to Porto’s historic neighbourhoods, they can be challenging for those with mobility concerns. Navigating the city involves hills and uneven surfaces, which might pose difficulties for individuals with limited mobility or those pushing strollers. We recommend you wear comfortable footwear when exploring the city.”
