Casa Monte Santo Antão

Panoramic coastal views spread out before you like a picture at this eye-catching contemporary home which sits amidst the picturesque hillside of meadows and woodland that rises above the waterside town of Caminha.

Its elevated position gives the glass fronted rooms of the property’s elegant interior a bird’s eye view of this most scenic and unspoilt stretch of Portugal’s Costa Verde. Look out to the left and you will see the chic coastal village of Moledo, where the waterfront is lined by some smart cafes, restaurants and wonderful golden sands. Straight ahead, lush forest meets the shoreline and forms an idyllic backdrop for the rural beaches that stretch north of Moledo. To the right, the distinctive mountain of Santa Tecla signals the proximity of the neighbouring Spanish region of Galicia, just a short crossing by ferry from Caminha.

Whether you are admiring this vista from the one of the smart sofas that occupy the light-filled living room, from the wood decked terrace that wraps around both this room and three of the bedrooms, or from the swimming pool and its surrounding terraces, this is a perfect spot from which to gaze out and spot the places you plan to visit. Shopping and dining out will be a pleasure in the pretty central square and cobbled streets of Caminha, which is just 2km from the house, whilst the first of the many sandy beaches are just south of here at Foz do Minho.

Inside the house a stylish combination of light wooden floors, crisp white walls and fashionable furnishings features throughout the smartly presented rooms, the majority of which face west through wide glass windows to make the most of their proximity to the sea.
