Some houses just make you say “wow” and this eye-catchingly stylish coastal home, which looks westwards towards the stunning coastline of Portugal’s unspoilt Costa Verde, is no exception.  From the manicured grounds that stretch beyond its contemporary façade to the carefully selected decorative touches, from the elegant furniture to the up-to-the-minute fixtures and fittings; everything about this property exudes style and quality. 

Beyond the sweeping sands and sea-facing cafes and restaurants of chic Moledo, a lane leads through fields and woodland to the sleepy, idyllically situated village of Cristelo.  Here, just opposite the picturesque local church and only 2.4km from the beach itself, Casa de São Tiago gazes out through floor-to-ceiling windows onto gorgeous views that stretch out towards the sea and around to the majestic peak of Monte Santa Tecla which sits at the mouth of the River Minho in neighbouring Galicia.

Against a smart backdrop of clean lines and crisp white paintwork, fashionably-styled bedrooms and contemporary bathrooms offer the most comfortable of retreats, with the spacious principal suite benefitting from en suite facilities and its own private first floor terrace. 

On the lower ground floor, the generous dimensions of the equally exquisite open plan living area are wonderfully accentuated by the sliding patio doors that span its west-facing façade and give access to the poolside terrace, a covered chillout space and steps leading down to an area of lawn.

In Cristelo itself, there is a small minimarket/café which is the perfect place to experience daily life in the village and whilst guests will undoubtedly want to spend time enjoying the home comforts of Casa de São Tiago, the beautifully unspoilt beaches and wealth of amenities in the nearby towns of Moledo and Caminha are just a short drive away. For the more actively inclined, the golden sands of Moledo beach and its variety of bars and restaurants are also accessible on foot (2.4km) as is Moledo’s traditional village restaurant (1.6km on foot or 2.2km by car).
