Whether you're looking to go away with family or friends, this home offers a huge amount of space to enjoy in the north of Portugal. Set on 21527sq/ft of land, you'll love whiling away time in the grounds of this home. From playing tennis on the court surrounded by century-old trees to wandering through the gardens admiring the Mediterranean plants bursting with colour. With your own private pool at the back of the house too, you'll be spoilt for choice when deciding where to spend your days. There's even a support house with a kitchenette and wine cellar. The inside of this home is just as wonderful. Filled with dark wood furniture and colourful fabrics, just wandering around this property is a joy to behold. Why not serve up some bacalhau in the stunning dining room before challenging the household to a pool tournament while someone plays the piano in the background. You'll never be short of ways to entertain yourselves here.
