Sunset Beach Lodge
A modern villa built for sunsets — heated pool, cinema-sized screen, and the sea filling the balcony.

About this home
Sunset Beach Lodge earns its name every single evening: the living room's large balcony faces the Atlantic exactly where the sun goes down.
Four bedrooms sleep up to eleven. The pool is heated, the fireplace is real, the screen is closer to cinema than television, and the beach — essentials provided — is minutes away. Air conditioning and a barbecue complete the kit.
Viana do Castelo delivers the rest: the old town's granite and tiles, the Santa Luzia basilica above it, seafood that was swimming this morning.

"Un precio muy adecuado a la calidad del alojamiento, si ya las fotos parecía increíble en persona es inimaginable, una villa totalmente de lujo con piscina privada, instalaciones muy amplias y bonitas. El anfitrión se comunicaba muy rápidamente conmigo para cualquier adversidad y la casa estaba ordenada y limpia. No es mi primera vez viajando con Portugal Active y sin duda no será la última"

"Prachtige ervaring! Het huis was precies zoals op de foto’s. Hier en daar waren er enkele lichte gebruikssporen, maar verder was alles helemaal in orde. De service was ontzettend vriendelijk en er werd altijd goed contact gehouden. Als er iets was, werd het meteen opgepakt en geregeld. We hebben via hen ook een massage geboekt en een privéchef geregeld, wat echt een mooie extra was. De kinderen hebben er enorm van genoten en vonden het ook een geweldige belevenis. Wij zouden zeker nog eens terug"

"La casa es muy espaciosa y muy comoda , deberían revisar algunas puertas que dan al exterior de los ventanales ya que la mayoría estaban estropeadas., por lo demás todo genial"
