This elegant colonial home is set on nine acres of land and surrounded by forests. Its owners invite guests to soak up the sun poolside, take a book from the library and climb into a hammock, pluck fruit from the trees, and pick vegetables from the garden beds. Then, as the night closes in, watch shooting stars from the terraces.
The house has three double bedrooms upstairs, two of which have en-suite bathrooms. Downstairs, there’s a large living area with kitchen, dining, living and music areas, which lead into the veranda.
A lovely vacation home rental in Portugal which sleeps up to nine guests.
