Casa Afife
About This Villa
Nestled on the outskirts of the serene coastal village of Afife, Casa Afife stands as an elegant countryside haven, offering a tranquil retreat just a stone's throw away from the charming town of Viana do Castelo. From Afife's pleasant micro-climate and close proximity to the inviting shores, Casa Afife presents a captivating option for a rejuvenating escape.
The property's history comes alive with the restoration of the former baker's house and distillery. These spaces have been transformed into a delightful games room and a relaxation annexe, offering guests the perfect entertainment and tranquillity. The wooden decked terrace, a part of the old distillery, affords uninterrupted sea views, making it a sought-after spot, often called the perfect evening retreat for a refreshing G&T.
Stepping into the main house, guests are greeted by characterful stone-clad walls, beamed ceilings, and generously shuttered windows. The interior spaces have been thoughtfully adorned with trendy furnishings, balancing modern elegance and cosy comfort. Each bedroom carries its unique style, showcased by contemporary floor tiling, offering a touch of personality to the abode.
The ground floor encompasses a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area, a comfortable living room, a guest toilet, and a twin bedroom designed to cater to those with mobility concerns. The kitchen is a culinary haven, boasting modern cabinetry, state-of-the-art appliances, and luxurious marble worktops. Adjoining this is the dining area, with a generously sized country-style table bathed in natural light.
A step outdoors reveals an array of terraces, mature gardens adorned with vibrant bougainvillaea, and breathtaking panoramas. Numerous alfresco lounging spots invite guests to unwind, enjoy a glass of wine, and soak in the mesmerizing surroundings. The al fresco dining area is a highlight, providing an idyllic setting for starlit barbecues. The inviting 12m x 5.5m swimming pool invites relaxation, flanked by elegant loungers perfect for sun-soaked respites.
As the sun sets, the relaxation annexe beckons with its games and table tennis, offering a friendly space for evening entertainment. For those seeking a touch more seclusion, the adjacent charming cottage boasts a tranquil bedroom, a bathroom, and a mezzanine level ideal for accommodating extra guests or children.
