Casa
Santa Rita is a conversion of a farmhouse producing “Vinho Verde”, the
famous regional wine. The house is located in the outskirts of Afife, a
small seaside village north of the historic sailing port of Viana do Castelo,
in the Minho Region.
The village has restaurants, cafes, grocery stores and a chemist. The property is on the coastal plain between the mountains and the Atlantic Ocean. There are wonderful views of the countryside and the sea. The 2 one bedroom cottages, called Nicolina and Nikita, are next to each other and can be taken together. They are quite separate from the main house which is situated across the lawn. Both
cottages have a kitchenette with a fridge/freezer, 2 electric rings, microwave,
toaster and coffee machine.
There is a twin bedroom and a shower room. Both cottages have central heating, a ceiling fan and window netting to keep any insects out. Cottage Nicolina has a radio and Satellite television. Cottage Nikita has terrestrial television with Portuguese and Spanish channels. Each cottage has a small covered terrace with a garden table and sunshade. There is a common barbecue available. Opposite the cottages there is a garden with fruit and flower trees and the swimming pool. The
dimensions of the pool are 10 metres by 5 metres with a depth varying from
1.20 to 1.80 metres.
Afife has a long sandy beach which is popular with surfers. Behind the beach there is farmland and the coastal road. The cottages are approximatley 1 kilometre from the village in a secluded area sheltered from the strong north wind that blows in the afternoons. The owner is willing to meet guests at Porto (Oporto) or Vigo airports and to organise a tour of the area. Guests staying more than one week may use the owner's washing machine on request. Guests are asked not to smoke in the cottages. There are a number of excellent golf courses in the area, please click here for details. |
