About this property
Modern retreat with pool and garden
- Welcome to my home!
Escape to a peaceful retreat where comfort and relaxation come together in a calm natural setting. This cozy house is located within a larger property and offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. This makes it an excellent option for families or groups wishing to rent both units together while still enjoying their own private accommodation.
Step into the inviting open-plan living area, where a modern sofa with soft accent pillows creates the perfect space to unwind. The dining area is ideal for relaxed meals, while the kitchenette, set against a charming brick accent wall, is equipped with essentials such as a microwave, coffee maker, and basic utensils for preparing light meals and snacks.
The bedroom offers a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere, featuring a large bed dressed with fresh linens and filled with natural light from the generous window. A stylish sliding barn door adds both character and practicality to the space.
Outside, guests can enjoy the shared garden and outdoor area, perfect for slowing down and reconnecting with nature. Take a refreshing dip in the swimming pool, enjoy a barbecue with family or friends, or simply relax on the sun loungers surrounded by greenery. The outdoor space was designed for quiet moments, leisure, and meaningful gatherings.
For an even more relaxing experience, yoga mats and cushions are also available for guests to use, making this an ideal setting for small retreats, wellness escapes, or peaceful group stays focused on rest and reconnection.
Please note that the outdoor areas, including the swimming pool and barbecue area, are shared with one other short-term rental unit on the property.
The space is always professionally cleaned for your comfort.
Enjoy your stay!
Guests have full access to the private house, the shared outdoor pool, and barbecue area within the main property. Enjoy the freedom to use all outdoor amenities at your leisure.
I live close by and am happy to help whenever I'm around, but when I'm not, there is a 24/7 on-the-phone concierge service that can provide you assistance any time of the day.
A charming and peaceful house in Friande, set in a quiet rural area surrounded by nature. Guests can enjoy nearby river beaches, scenic countryside walks, and the relaxing atmosphere of northern Portugal.
The location offers easy access to traditional villages, local cafés, and authentic restaurants, while larger towns like Amarante and Penafiel are within a short drive. Perfect for a tranquil getaway, ideal for relaxing, exploring nature, and experiencing the region’s culture and gastronomy.
