Villa Borboleta

Villa Borboleta

Contemporary style villa set in an elevated position that gives outstanding uninterrupted views of the ocean. Set within easy reach of the charming coastal roman town of Caminha with its interesting streets and squares lined with a tempting choice of restaurants, cafes and shops, this spot is a perfect retreat for small families.

Extremely easy to reach (only 60 minute drive from Porto international airport or from Vigo - Spain - airport and only a 50 minute drive from Porto international airport) this villa is in an absolutely central position: only 2 kms away (15 minute walk) from Caminha sandy beaches - from the train station you can travel to Vigo in Spain or south to Viana do Castelo historic centre - and 2,5 kms from the old roman town of Caminha (with various good quality restaurants, cafes, bars, lively promenades and open air esplanades around the Minho river's waterfront) and 35 kms from the delightful old historic town of Viana do Castelo, famous for its ancient monuments and long sandy beaches. Basic facilities such as a minimarket, shops, restaurants, etc, can be found within a 20 minute walk.

Nowadays, Caminha enjoys much more friendly relations with its neighbour and there is a daily ferry-boat linking the two banks of the river. Standing on a tiny island in the middle of the estuary are the ruins of the fort of Ínsua, built to defend the entrance to the river in the fifteenth century. There are other several sandy beaches within a short drive.

This villa is fully air conditioned.
