Its renovation fully respected its original northen house design, providing it with a contemporary atmosphere inside, although with the architectural characteristics of a country house. This is a unique property, which has 4 bedrooms, a music room, a billiards games room, a full kitchen and a living room with a fireplace. It has a garden with great mountain views. It has an outdoor swimming pool and its own place for a barbecue and wood-burning oven. It is also equipped with all household and bed linen, bath towels and pool towels, TV and Wi-Fi. The environment strives for stillness and privacy. We try to make the guest feel at home. The property has very good accessibility and, despite being in a rural environment, it is only 7 minutes from the A7 Motorway exit. It is 50 minutes from Porto Airport and one hour from Spain. It has a privileged proximity to Oporto, Guimarães, just 44 km away, Braga, 65 km away. The Vidago and Fafe golf courses are 30 minutes away, and Amarante is 50 minutes away. The Casal Magister experience takes guests on an excursion into the history and nature of Portugal, with its ethnographic museums such as Casa da Lã, the Railway Museum, tours and activities on the river and in the mountains, tastings of green wine or exploring the mountains such as known mills of the King. In spring and summer, the swallows say good morning by diving into the saltwater pool. On site you will find historical attractions and nature activities and the traditional festivals and pilgrimages of Minho and northern Portugal ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Pool ### Internet - Available in the villa: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Limo/town car service - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Breakfast available for a fee ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 4.5 bathrooms - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Service animals only (pets not allowed) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (limited availability) - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - No smoke detector (host has indicated there is no smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Comprehensive recycling policy - Double-glazed windows - Garden - Local culture and ecosystem education - Locally-owned and organized tours and activities - Reusable coffee/tea filters - Solar energy - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107160000/107155400/107155356/6b3771a9.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Casa de Campo, Refúgio das Oliveiras, Mondim de Basto Mondim de Basto - Pool - Kitchen - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-24&endDate=2025-10-25&selected=107155356&PinnedHotelID=107155356&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99450000/99446000/99445972/c6cab4ee.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Casa das Acácias Cabeceiras de Basto - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Outdoor space [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-24&endDate=2025-10-25&selected=99445972&PinnedHotelID=99445972&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/67000000/66320000/66313500/66313495/b7037139.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### For families who love nature and the countryside.
