The two-storey, detached villa has three ensuite bedrooms, accommodating up to six guests, ideal for a family holiday or a group of friends' getaway. The villa is surrounded by the panoramic beauty of the region and cocooned within one 940sqm of private grounds and gardens, populated with ancient olive trees, creating an idyllic setting for a memorable escape.
Upon entering the villa, guests are greeted by the charm of a wood-beamed living space with access to the magnificent mountain view veranda. The seating area has two comfy sofas, a handy coffee table, and a smart television for your entertainment. A six-seater round dining set is perfect for an informal meal. There is a modern kitchen, which is fully equipped with all the latest appliances that you will need to cater for your holiday, including that must-have morning coffee maker and a four-seater breakfast set. A separate guest WC completes the ground floor.
Climb the steep stairs to the upper floor, where there are three spacious, brightly decorated bedrooms, each with a queen-size bed and an ensuite shower room.
A modern extension to the villa is home to a formal dining room with wood-beamed ceilings, where a magnificent sixteen-seater formal dining table takes centre stage.
Step outside and take a stroll around the villa's extensive grounds and gardens, featuring manicured lawns, a 40sqm covered terrace, sun loungers, and a designated mountain view seating area. For those inclined to culinary pursuits, a portable barbeque awaits al fresco feasts beneath the azure sky.
The villa's modern amenities include Wi-Fi, private parking, air conditioning (available upon request), an oven and hob, a dishwasher, a washing machine, a coffee machine, and thoughtful baby amenities.

Villa Azavedo can be found in the quaint hamlet of Lugar de Chao, a serene retreat in the heart of the Portuguese countryside. Surrounded by magnificent mountain views and picturesque landscapes, this idyllic location provides a peaceful escape.
The villa is just nine kilometres from the charming town of Caminha, with its cobbled streets and historic architecture, as well as Recant, the nearest sandy beach, which makes it the perfect day out. The golden shores of Praia de Moledo and Vila Praia de Ancora are both within a short ten-kilometre drive and renowned for their excellent water sports, especially stand-up paddleboard kites and windsurfing. The Rio Minho, with its meandering waters, is the longest river in the Iberian peninsula and the perfect place to take a walk in nature. For the more adventurous who want an adrenaline thrill, try a hike, bike, or canyoning the area's well-trodden nature trails.
Go south on a twenty-five-kilometre journey to Viano de Castelo, a city steeped in cultural richness and historical significance. Explore ancient monuments, visit the vibrant local markets, or simply wander through the charming streets to absorb the authentic Portuguese atmosphere. Then visit the nearby towns of Braga and Barcelos for a taste of Iberian culture, and enjoy wining and dining on the local cuisine.
