About this property

Stunning Holiday Villa With Pool Near Spain, Beaches & Minho River

'Yavanna' is a large property made up of two beautifully refurbished 300-year-old traditional granite villas/farmhouses, each with its own private garden and barbecue area. They are called 'Casa Dolinda' and 'Casa Gabriel'. Each has 3 bedrooms, living room with flat screen TVs, wireless internet, a well-equipped modern kitchen but are individually styled and very different in layout.

There is a large 12x8m salt water pool with stunning views and chill-out zones - small farms are dotted around the lush green landscape, connected by granite tracks with grapevines growing overhead. There are 1.5 acres of beautifully maintained gardens with plenty of space for relaxation.

Yavanna lies only a few miles from the border with Spain and is very close to beautiful ocean and river beaches in both Portugal and Spain.

This listing is for Casa Dolinda. Casa Dolinda sleeps 6 and is a traditional Minho farmhouse that has been modernised in the past years to a very high standard. There are two double rooms and one twin room. There is also a bathroom, separate shower room and three toilets.

Casa Dolinda is very nicely furnished and equipped. It has an open plan ground floor comprising kitchen, living room and dining area. It also has its own outside eating area, private garden, etc. As well as this, there is a very large shared garden and salt water pool, with plenty of room for everyone.

Towels and linen are provided, beds are changed weekly for longer stays and we take great pride in our standard of cleanliness. We do everything we can to make your holiday very special. We are available for help and advice, but at the same time very sensitive to your need for privacy.

Historisch huis in vallei
Mooie streek, prima huis. Goede ontvangst. Wij waren wat verrast dat er meerdere (3) huizen waren op de locatie.

Beautiful with all the facilities you need
My family and I stayed in this beautiful house for almost a week. The house is even bigger in real life than on the pictures, which was of great surprise. The spacious garden with multiple barbecues, enough places to eat outside, a clean swimming pool and all the cooking gear you need makes the stay luxurious and comfortable. We had a lovely time here, we enjoyed great service and would definitely recommend the house to others!

Fantástica Noche Vieja
Pasamos fin de año en Villa Fontoura. Magníficos anfitriones, siempre atentos a las necesidades. La casa que decir, preciosa y no le falta de nada. Esperamos volver a repetir. Gracias por todo Sofia. Un fuerte abrazo .

Yes the 5* reviews are justified
When we booked this property had nothing but 5* reviews, and so we were slightly cautious as to whether they were all genuine; they sounded good and plausable, so we took the plunge and booked anyway. Let me tell you, that the reviews ARE certainly justified and this really is a wonderful retreat. We had the most fantastic relaxing fortnight and our kids (12, 9 and 9 years old) declared this the best of all of the places that we have stayed. Recommended

A lovely place between the vineyards
Our stay with our children was very pleasant. The owner, a young family with two children, are very nice and accommodating. It is a beautiful old house with a large and lovingly landscaped garden. Ideal for children to play. The Swimmingpool is great after a sightseeing-day. Everything is very neat and clean. The house is equipped with everything you need. Even towels and a umbrella for the beach. There are less than 30 minutes by car to the beach. Until Porto, required the mountains or Santiago de Compostella is about 1 hour by car. We can recommend the object very. Many thanks to the owner! Unser Aufenthalt mit unseren Kindern war sehr angenehm. Die Vermieter, eine junge Familie mit zwei Kindern, sind sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Es ist ein wunderschönes altes Haus mit einem großen und liebevoll angelegtem Garten. Ideal für die Kinder zum Spielen. Der Swimmungpool ist super nach einem Ausflugstag. Alles ist sehr gepflegt und sauber. Das Haus ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man benötigt. Sogar Badehandtücher und Sonnenschirm für den Strand. Zum Strand sind es weniger als 30 Minuten mit dem Auto. Bis Porto, ins Gebirge oder Santiago de Compostella benötigt man jeweils ca. 1 Stunde mit dem Auto. Wir können das Objekt sehr empfehlen. Vielen Dank an die Vermieter!
