The magnificent, contemporary Villa Homem is located in the quiet coastal village of Afife, just ten minutes north of the jewel of the Costa Verde, Viana do Castelo. Afife enjoys a fabulous micro-climate and the perfect beach location. With sea views and just minutes to walk to the silver sands, the location could not be better for those anxious to get in the surf. The captivating Viana do Castelo is north of Porto and close to the border with Spain’s Galicia. It is blessed with an appealing medieval centre, an attractive riverfront and gorgeous beaches. Its old quarter showcases narrow lanes and leafy boulevards brimming with Manueline manors and Rococo palaces. Guests staying at Villa Homem enjoy fabulous days on the beach, trips to beautiful towns and cities, river adventures of the Rio Lima estuary and countryside jaunts in the Lima valley. The hosts of Villa Homem are very happy to organise thrilling watersports adventures, other activities and private chefs or indulgent wellness packages. Villa Homem is a sprawling property with six bedrooms sleeping twelve guests.

The villa is a sleek masterpiece of contemporary architecture designed to be totally integrated with the natural surroundings. Its sensational living spaces face the Atlantic Ocean with astonishing panorama. The outside space is a delight with a superb swimming pool that is ideal for sensitive skins without chlorine.

The villa’s superb living space is located in the single storey section of the villa with beautiful views out to the pool, garden and the sea. A sumptuous corner sofa and trendy chairs sit at one end of the room enjoying the views and perfectly placed to also enjoy the television and the the contemporary log burning stove on cooler evenings. The delightful dining area is at the other end of the room. Next door, the chef’s dream of a kitchen offers the best of appliances and a generous space in which to cook up a storm. A full wall of doors open to the terrace where you can enjoy alfresco dining with a sea view.

The second part of the villa enjoys completely different architecture. On the outside there is natural toned render, concrete blocks and stunning wooden doors and inside, again the walls are whitewashed and very striking against rich wooden floors and colourful rugs. Most of the bedrooms are all in white with minimalist styling and luxury linens on the beds. Four of the bedrooms enjoy double or kingsize beds and the remainder boast twins. There are five and a half glorious bathrooms in total, most of which are ensuite. They are beautifully tiled, some with vibrant colours in stark contrast to the dazzling white walls and linens. All of the bathrooms are beautifully fitted with a mix of baths and showers. Some of the bedrooms have direct access to the terrace and pool while others are on the upper floor.

Villa Homem enjoys wonderful outdoor space but that ocean will be beckoning you in from the minute you arrive!
