Luxury villa in a private plot of 4500 m2, located in a residential area of Galegos, 7.4 km from the city of Penafiel, 6 km from the Thermal Spa of São Vicente and 25 driving minutes from Porto over the highway (42 km). It is located in the edge of one of the largest Castros of the Iberian Peninsula northwest - the Monte Mozinho is a reference point in the archaeological history of the Castro culture.

Recently built and displaying modern architecture, implanted on a higher level with beautiful landscape views over the surrounding Nature, guests will find a peaceful and lovely place for relaxing.

Equipped with programmable central heating and exotic wooden floors, property consists of 2 suites with marble bathrooms, 1 double room with en suite marble bathroom, living room with fireplace, settees and a double sofa bed, and dining room with open plan equipped kitchen.

The extensive well cared garden includes a lake, extensive lawn areas, barbecue, garden table, 70 olive trees, orchard, and a swimming pool with children safety fence.

Sleeps 6-8 persons, self catering.

The living area extends itself over a single floor, slightly above the ground. Underneath, there is a huge saloon for events accommodating up to 100 persons. It can only be rented together with the house, or when the house is not being used. The facility comprises a paved parking lot for up to 50 vehicles.
In a region that is known to be of very ancient origin, it is said that there were once two castles here, one by the name of Aguiar de Sousa and the other known as the castle of Pena. When the Moors occupied this region, they tried to invade the latter castle, but did not succeed because it was defended so heroically. This is why it was considered "loyal" (fiel), so that it became known as the castle of Penafiel, a name which then spread to the rest of the area.

Standing at the heart of a region of granite and vinho verde, Penafiel is also the centre for various lively and popular religious festivities held around the time of Corpus Christi.

In the surrounding region, attention is drawn to the many Romanesque churches, such as the monastery of São Salvador at Paço de Sousa and the churches of São Miguel at Eja and São Salvador at Gandra.

The Monte Mozinho is a reference point in the archaeological history of the Castro culture. In 1930, Abílio Miranda compiled the scattered data connected to the site. The first excavations are owed to Elísio Sousa (from 1943 – 1954), followed by interventions by Russell Cortez (1947), and Carlos Alberto F. Almeida (between 1974 and 1979). From 1982 until the 1990s, excavation campaigns were led by Teresa Soeiro. Final excavations were carried out under the responsibility of Teresa Pires de Carvalho. This settlement can be included in the oppida category, owing to its dimensions and chronology; the fort was developed during the Augustus era, 1st century AD. It is surrounded by three ramparts and has an urban area of almost 20 hectares. The inner wall alignment possesses a series of entrance points, one of which displays a furrow made by the door that once stood there. The ramps that provide access to the ramparts are also still distinguishable. Considered as a unit, the Mozinho hillfort displays a protourban structure; a north-south axis crosses the site, intercepted by paved perpendicular divisions, where we can see the drainage system made up of channels that collected rain water for domestic use, similar to the system used at the Briteiros settlement. The area’s distribution, similar to other settlements of great dimensions, delimits the different sections, which form groups of family compounds made up of different structures, circular or rectangular houses, positioned around a courtyard. The constructions seem to have had a clay floor surface.
