Rebuilt farmhouse in peaceful area


Quinta da Tapada is situated in a quiet, wooded area North of the bustling market town of Fafe. The owners from Braga found here an ideal place, surrounded by green, to relax and enjoy the country air.

The villa is recently built on the foundations of an old farmhouse. It is completely and comfortably furbished, and offers ample space for 6 people.
On the roofed balcony at the back you have lots of privacy; undoubtedly you will spend many a summer evening there. At the front you will find the private swimming pool, surrounded by a lawn. On the rest of the grounds, that are completely fenced, grow tall oaks and plane trees.

Quinta da Tapada is an excellent starting point for exploring the northern part of Portugal. The historic cities of Braga and Guimarães are only a half hour drive away, and via the new A7 motorway the coast, the city of Porto, the Douro valley and the untouched landscapes of Trás-os-Montes are within easy reach.
The immediate vicinity and the nearby reservoir of Queimadela are very pleasant walking areas.

The distance to Fafe is about 10 kms. There you will find a large supermarket and all other kinds of shops, restaurants and a large weekly market. Nearby, in the village of Travassós (2 kms), there is a café and a small shop with groceries and bread. The nearest restaurant is about 2.5 kms further on.
