The Costa Verde region

Costa Verde is the northern-most region of Portugal. Costa Verde offers incredible landscapes in which a lush green countryside stretches inland from an idyllic sun-baked coastline. Whether you crave unlimited sun, sea and sand or the peaceful atmosphere of forest-clad mountains, valleys and rivers, Costa Verde will suit you.

In a region as rich in history and culture as it is unspoilt natural environments, a Villa in Costa Verde would be an entirely appropriate choice for anyone seeking an authentic experience in a charmingly traditional town.

Guestbook for Villa Meã

'We spent 8 days with our 2 boys (1 and 4 years) in the house and had a fantastic time! The house itself is spacious, beautifully decorated, extremely comfortable and well-equipped. Our children loved the garden with lots of space to run around and explore as well as the pool which is very child-friendly and can be watched from the living room or the beautiful, shady terrace. Our hosts were very helpful with lots of advice and good tips about the area. (...) It was fun and relaxing just to be around the house and there were plenty of interesting touristy things and pretty towns within an easy drive. Would definitely go back!' Tanya and Avie, London, May 2008

'Villa absolutely superb. The best equipped we have ever been to. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners. Beautiful countryside and scenery within minutes walk. Lots of interesting trips & places of interest to see. Beneficial to have a car but not essential' Colin & Kath, June 2008

"HOLIDAY TONIC - We found this an ideal centrally place villa to explore this wonderful region of Portugal. The villa was large and roomy with ample amenities; having a very homely atmosphere for us to enjoy, and owners that were both obliging and helpful. We found we had a good choice of restaurants within walking distance and supermarkets just mintutes away by car. This was a portuguese tonic for us both and highly recommended for its charm and comfort." Edna and Nabha, August 2008

"A week by the river Minho - The house is lovely and spacious and very well-equipped for self-catering. The garden and pool are great for relaxing and playing sports. We felt comfortable that it matched the description accurately. The house was clean and tidy and very well-looked after. The surrounding region is very pretty and with a car, there are lovely towns and villages to explore along the river and the coast and the drive into Spain is quick and easy. The area does not seem to be very touristy which was just what we were looking for. In terms of customer service, our dealings with the owners all went very smoothly from arranging the booking over email to the logistics of payment and the exchanging of keys for the property. I would definitely recommend this property to other people who are looking for the opportunity to get away from their busy lives and explore the northern part of Portugal. The location of the property is convenient - the drive from Porto is very easy and well sign-posted." Bryony, September 2008
