The villa is located a short walk from the banks of the Lima river, a 15 minutes drive from Ponte de Lima, one of foremost must-visit cities in the North of Portugal. The main house, a national monument, originates in the 13th century, when a defensive tower was built on a heel overlooking the Minho valley.
Guests of the Half Moon villa have access to the extensive gardens, including 2 swimming pools – one heated inside, one salty outside, and some parts of the manor house.
Also on the grounds are a tennis court, a basketball court, and the rental itself has a 40 sqm kitchen – fitted to host a team of professional chefs.
The villa’s seven suites and two studio apartments and house are connected to a 3-level tower, with a living room, a dining room and kitchen.
