Stunning luxury villa in Northern Portugal – Casa do Farol do Montedor

Portugal is world-renowned for having beautiful, top-quality beaches and none more so than the beaches of Praia do Paco and Praia de Carreco. These particularly scenic beaches are just ten minutes apart and are situated on one of the most naturally stunning and untouched coastlines of the Northern Portugal, just north of Viano do Castelo.

One of the main attractions of this beautiful region is the Montedor Lighthouse, which is located just eight kilometres north of Viano do Castelo and 11 kilometres to the south of the estuary of the River Minho. Boasting a mighty position on a cliff on Montedor hill, as you can imagine, the views from the lighthouse are simply breath taking. Looking out across the divine beaches of Paco to the north and Carreco to the south, the views from this granite tower really are a ‘sight for sore eyes’.

As equally as impressive as this old lighthouse, which was built in 1910, are the cliffs upon where it stands. Known as the Montedor cliffs, these domineeringly captivating cliffs are well known for their rock art, which has been dated back to 3,000BC.

Nestled below the lighthouse is Casa do Farol do Montedor, an outstanding four bedroom luxury villa in Northern Portugal (pictured above), which Vintage Travel is delighted to now have on our books.

Accommodation situated in an area this tranquil, picturesque and ‘special’, needs to be equally as exceptional, and this luxury villa in Northern Portugal certainly excels in the in the ‘special’ stakes.

With panoramic views of scenic utopia of a verdurous shoreline thriving under the watchful eye of the Montedor lighthouse, there is naturally an irresistible urge to wine, dine, swim and relax in the open air and fortunately Casa do Farol do Montedor is geared up for spending a large proportion of your stay outdoors.

Besides the grand private pool there is a large dining area, which is accessible from the villa through wide patio doors. Al fresco dining can also be achieved on the terraces of the upper bedrooms, which, having the advantage of extra height, boast an even grander view.

With a spacious, stylish and contemporary design that includes a large impeccably designed living room, the villa’s interior is equally as impressive as it exterior,

If one can manage to drag themselves away from such heavenly accommodation, they won’t be disappointed with a trip to the nearby village of Carreco.

From a superb seaside Italian restaurant to a coastal train station, this traditional Portuguese village has everything in it to make your stay in this rather special part of the world as comfortable as comfortable can get.
