Submerse yourself in the culture of the wine capital of Portugal, all from the comfort of your very own private pool. Villa Formoso is the ideal getaway for sommeliers in the making looking to experience the culture around Costa Verde’s famous wines. Set within 210 acres of wine estate, this gorgeous wine producing property is waiting for you.

Look out over the sprawling vineyards at your doorstep whilst local workers tend to the fields to help produce the gorgeously fresh wine produced right next door. Though the owners of this stunning villa occasionally use one of the farmhouses, you’ll have complete privacy in your own separate house, ideal to relax in whilst being in the middle of the wine making process.

If you can find the time between visiting vineyards, your very own private pool is ideal for an early morning swim. Make the most of the early morning sun and get some lengths in, or simply float and look out over the breathtaking mountainous views just beyond the stretching vineyards.

With sun loungers and a beautiful terrace great for alfresco dining, make the most out of the sun at every stage of the day. Work on your tan as the afternoon begins before cooking a gorgeous meal on the barbeque or in the fully fitted kitchen. Watch the sunset whilst dining on your homecooked meal with a glass of locally produced wine, how else would you want your day to end?

If you don’t want to make the short journey to the historic roman town Ponte de Lima and spend your evenings sampling the bars and restaurants, relax in front of the TV on the comfy sofa and try not to doze off! If you do make it to the bedroom, the soft sheets and cosy room is guaranteed to help you feel refreshed for the next day in the wine capital of Portugal.

Whether you’re already an expert on wine, looking to learn, or simply want a relaxing getaway, Villa Formoso is the ideal place for your next Costa Verde getaway.
