About this home
Quinta de Cima holds a private hilltop in Carreço, close enough to the Atlantic that the waves are the house's background music. Seven bedrooms take up to fourteen guests.
The infinity pool looks straight at the sea; the outdoor jacuzzi takes the sunset shift. A games room with billiards, fireplaces, gardens and a barbecue do the rest. Beach essentials are already in the cupboard.
Carreço beach is minutes downhill, Viana do Castelo five kilometres — close for dinner, far enough that the only traffic is gulls.

"Nous avons passé un moment incroyable. La villa est magnifique, très propre et parfaitement équipée. La piscine est superbe, surtout au coucher du soleil, avec une vue magnifique. L’endroit est calme, idéal pour se détendre entre amis ou en famille. Tout était conforme aux photos, voire mieux. Je recommande sans hésiter et j’y retournerais avec plaisir !"

"La casa es muy bonita, confortable y cuidada. (Puede mejorar algún mantenimiento , aunque es difícil, por ej olor a humedad en alguna zona) En líneas generales muy satisfactoria nuestra estancia . Éramos ocho adultos y seis niños de 1 a 12 años, que disfrutaron mucho de las instalaciones"
