With a huge grassy garden, an inviting alfresco kitchen and dining area, a large swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers, and loads of places in which to sit back, relax, and enjoy a glass of regional Vinho Verde, this home gives a whole new meaning to the phrase 'outdoor living'. Fire up some friendly competition out on the tennis court and on the table tennis table. Prepare a mouthwatering feast in the traditional churrasco to be enjoyed poolside. Or simply find your favourite spot and curl up with a good book whilst soaking up the Portuguese sunshine. If you've (somehow) had enough of outside, then indoors certainly isn't lacking in entertainment options, either. Cosy up in front of an old classic or a new family favourite in the cinema room or slip into something suitably elegant for a meal in the swanky dining room. The interior of this home has a unique, almost retro-feeling glamour to it, one that feels at once contemporary and entirely timeless. Polished wood, stone, leather, and marble are stylishly combined, the overall effect being one that embraces and highlights natural textures and materials. Nestled on a relatively quiet stretch of northwestern Portuguese coastline just outside the... beautiful city of Braga, we think this home is ideal for those looking to uncover a slightly different side to ever-popular Portugal, allowing you to delve into its rich history and culture away from the crowds. Don't miss out on the chance to sun yourself on the area's pristine beaches, or take a trip around Braga – home to castles, cultural attractions, and gastronomical delights galore.
