About This Villa

Set in the scenic Minho region of northern Portugal, Villa Palacete offers an elevated countryside escape where design, comfort, and heritage converge. Originally designed by architect Mário Abreu in 1958 and winner of the Januário Godinho Award for architectural preservation, this recently renovated single-storey villa spans a generous 584m². The interiors blend high ceilings, refined furnishings, and abundant natural light to create a calm, contemporary feel, while original details preserve the spirit of the building's mid-century roots.

Perfect for extended families or groups of up to 10, Villa Palacete features five beautifully styled bedrooms - including three suites - and multiple reception areas ideal for both socialising and quiet downtime. Outside, guests will find a private pool, tennis court, outdoor gym, and shaded terrace with a fully equipped barbecue and regional-style kitchen for authentic meals al fresco. With extensive green grounds, sweeping views, and a layout designed for effortless living, Villa Palacete delivers a richly layered experience in one of Portugal’s most culturally vibrant regions.
