Castelo on the Hill

Castelo on the Hill: Braga

Imagine waking up in the morning, the sound of waves crashing in the near distance accompanied by the cawing of gulls or the delighted cries of children playing on the nearby beach. Open up the curtains and the coastal sunshine beams in, giving off just a slight morning warmth. Then you know – you're really on holiday, and the whole day stretches out before you.

This home offers you the perfect location to experience those perfect moments, and much more. Step out onto the roof terrace to enjoy your morning coffee before setting off for the beach to make the most of a day filled with sun, sea, sand, and plenty of unforgettable memories with your nearest and dearest.

Or, if you've had enough of the unspoiled sands of Viana do Castelo, then head into the charming trading town itself, where you'll find pretty backstreets lined with cafes, bars, and restaurants as well as the Basílica de Santa Luzia. Trust us, its unique architecture is well worth seeing. Alternatively, those with a yearning for attractions of the natural kind can look forward to venturing out into the expansive, verdant hills of northern Portugal or even trying their hand at some bodyboarding in the Atlantic waters off the coast.
