A little piece of paradise, Vila da Fonte is a fully restored lovely old detached house with 3 double bedrooms, terraces, a lawn and a large outdoor swimming pool. It is located on the edge of Campelo, one of the prettiest, most well maintained villages in the area. The house with 1156m2 area, has 3 double bedrooms, a spacious lounge with a wood burner, kitchen, separate dining area, large family bathroom with a bath and overhead shower and a cloakroom/utility room with a sink, wc & built in unit with a washing machine and tumble dryer. The tiled hallway opens onto a gated patio with a brick barbecue three outbuildings currently used for storing tools etc. There is also a border planted with flowers and a variety of herbs. A gate leads down to the pool area and a further one directly to the garden, which can also be accessed from the pool area. Vila da Fonte has a large roof terrace with lovely mountain views and another pretty little terrace which is perfect for relaxing with a glass of wine and a book. There is a large tiled area around the pool for sun loungers and poolside dining, there is also an outdoor shower. The former mule shed is now a lovely restored stone building where we store the outdoor furniture and pool accessories. Just behind the pool is the lawn with another stone building for storing logs. Steps lead down from the pool to a gated parking area for two cars, access to this is via a cobbled road. There is also parking for two cars at the front of the house. Vila da Fonte has many established fruit trees (figs, plums, apples, pears, oranges, clementines, quince, physallis and grape vines). You are very welcome to help yourself to any ripe fruit from the trees during your stay. There is also a terrace where we grow vegetables and 8 olive trees from which we get our yearly supply of olive oil. A natural fonte runs through the garden, hence the name! This used to supply mountain water to the villagers prior to mains water being available.

After spending a considerable amount of time in Portugal over the years, I was fortunate enough to acquire Vila Da Fonte in 2024. I fell in love with the area, with its peaceful location and access to many river beaches, lakes, hiking trails & cycling routes. There's an endless amount of natural beauty to explore in the area
