Alvarinho Villa — 5 Suites & Heated Pool

Summary:

At the heart of the Alvarinho region, set among vineyards and the green hills of the Tâmega Valley, lies Alvarinho Villa — a contemporary luxury property designed for exclusive stays. With five private en-suite bedrooms, signature minimalist architecture, a heated granite infinity pool, and a sophisticated, intimate atmosphere, this villa offers a rare experience where design, nature, and comfort live in perfect harmony. Just ten minutes from Amarante, it is the ideal retreat for those seeking privacy, elegance, and truly memorable moments.



The Space:

Pool heating is an optional extra, charged at €70 per night.



Set on an open plateau among the vineyards of northern Portugal, this private villa pairs the clean lines of exposed-concrete architecture with the quiet soul of a restored country estate. Five en-suite bedrooms, each finished with hand-selected materials, are arranged to grant absolute privacy among all guests. The main living room rises in double-height volume, with floor-to-ceiling glass that dissolves the line between inside and garden. The fully equipped designer kitchen is the perfect stage for private chefs or for guests themselves. The dining room, with a table for up to ten, looks directly onto the vines. Outdoors, the heated infinity pool* stretches over the horizon. A covered terrace with barbecue, a fire-pit patio, shaded loungers, and a private bar built into an antique wine barrel invite long, unhurried stays.



*Pool heating is available at an additional cost of €70 per night, with a minimum stay of 5 days. Requests must be made at least 4 days in advance.

The region is the gateway to the Marão mountains and the Douro wine country, layering landscape, gastronomy, and history within a small radius.
