On the first floor, there's a large living room and dining area, as well as a full kitchen and wood stove, three bedrooms, and two bathrooms. On the second floor, guests will find one more bedroom as well as an "area once destined for the production of wine, with a mill, and a space with a 'table football' table connected directly to the pool," according to the listing description.

And even though this property looks fairly out-of-the-way, it's only 30 kilometers (about 19 miles) from Porto, where you can enjoy a more metropolitan experience including delicious restaurants, shopping, and plenty of places to enjoy Portuguese culture. Porto is the second-largest city in the country and is home to the Mercado de Bolhao marketplace, museums, historical sites, and lots of opportunities to enjoy the beautiful landscape.

And when you're done exploring, it's only a 30 to 45 minute trip back to the villa where you can relax in perfect, spa-like bliss in the property's jacuzzi tub, cook a traditional Portuguese dinner, or take a long, leisurely swim.

Nightly rates for this property begin at $390 and there is availability in March and beyond.
