In an elevated position off a wooded country lane, this fine manor house enjoys a privileged location in the village of Gondomil, with the pretty garden town of Monção and the charming walled centre of Valença, two of the regions treasures, both a mere 8 km away, whilst the nearby sea can be reached in a 20 minute drive. With the towns of Valença and Monçao close to hand, a short drive will take you to a wide range of shops and restaurants, although some 800 m from the house is a small shop that sells basic items and a coffee shop. Nearest restaurant is 2 km distant, and one finds a riding centre only 1 km from property. Being close to the Spanish border, the sandy beaches of the chic coastal resort of Baiona are 17 km from the property and are thus an attractive option for a day trip. On the Portuguese side, the beaches of Camarido (20 km) and Moledo do Minho (23 km) are most inviting during the summer season. It is 100 km to Porto, with its international airport, and only 30 km to Vigo (Spain), also with an international airport..

The restored property displays the talents of a top Portuguese designer, who has skillfully incorporated practical accessories of the most modern style with the charming traditional features that befit a house of this age. Light and spacious are adjectives that spring to mind when describing the accommodation. Downstairs, the beautifully furnished rooms flow from one to another through attractive arches, bordered with light exposed stone. In the pretty kitchen, a wealth of modern appliances will delight keen cooks, whilst upstairs each immaculately presented bedroom boasts its own private bath or shower room.

Step outside onto an attractive patio and a pretty stone path leads the way through wide lawns to the swimming pool, which is flanked by terraces and looks out onto a pleasing panorama of lush wooded slopes.

Ground floor: Living room (fireplace, TV, DVD, CD) with patio doors to terrace, dining room, equipped kitchen with door to terrace, cloakroom, central heating throughout the house.
First floor: 1 double bedroom with en suite bathroom. 2 twin bedrooms with en suite bathroom. 2 twin bedrooms with en suite shower room.
Outside: Spacious grounds of open patios and lawns, private parking, utility room (washing machine), barbecue, private swimming pool (12m x 7m), pool & garden furniture.

Sleeps 10 persons, self catering.
Standing on the border with Spain and overlooking the River Minho, Valença is surrounded by walls and displays all the characteristic features of a town that was fortified in the seventeenth century in the style of the French military architect, Vauban.

Its first name was "Contrasta", which referred to a village standing opposite another one and was clearly a reference to its position directly across the River Minho from the Galician town of Tui.
The fortification still preserves four gates: the Porta do Santiago (or Porta do Sol), Porta de Gaviana (a Gothic arch), Porta da Fonte da Vila and Porta da Coroada and twelve ramparts built at different times.

It overlooks the international bridge between Valença and Tuy, built by Eiffel in 1885.

Today, it is a city with a flourishing trade, in which some of the most popularly sought after items are the pieces produced by the local craftsmen.

From Ms T McShane, July 2006
A wonderful home and part of the world. Glorious surroundings, a warm welcome and a 'home from home' atmosphere.


 

 

The Blair Family, August 2006
It was a wonderful villa. Our children spent hours in the fabulous pool allowing grown ups to chill out on the loungers and read, which was a real luxury!


 

 

Mr Ballara, August 2008
It was a great property and the couple who own it extremely kind and welcoming.
