Ancient traditions, a rich cultural heritage, a remarkable landscape are
some of the characteristics of this outstanding property, once the
farming residence of 17th century monks who belonged to the Convent of
Sanfins de Friestas, that has been recently restored to provide its
guests an unforgettable stay. Its extraordinary timeless character is
the guarantee of an incomparable holiday.
The restored property is
grand but homely, evidencing the talent of a top Portuguese designer,
who has skillfully incorporated practical accessories of the most modern
style with the traditional features that befit a house of this age.
The accommodation is light and spacious. Downstairs, the conveniently
furnished living and dining areas with thick white walls and terracotta
tiled floors covered with pretty rugs, is served by a very well equipped
kitchen. Upstairs, five bedrooms comfortably furnished (one double and
four twins), each with its own private bath or shower room make it the
right choice for sharing families, or large groups, on holiday together.
Outside a charming patio and a beautiful stone path leads the way
through wide lawns to the swimming pool, a true dash of paradise,
flanked by granite-stone terraces, offering the chance to immerse in an
open vista of lush wooded slopes and endless mountains. The property has
preserved the old wheat threshing floor (eira) and the original granary
(espigueiro).
Supplies can be bought in the small shop nearby,
although a wider range of shops and restaurants may be found in the
towns of Valença and Monção, which are just a short drive.
Alternatively, as this house is close to the Spanish border, the sandy
beaches of the posh coastal resort of Baiona are only a few minutes
drive and may be thus an attractive option for a day trip.
