Quinta de Gozende affords stunning views over the Serra D’Arga and is situated on the outskirts of the quiet village of Vinhas but is only 4km from the bustling market town of Paredes de Coura. There is a small café/restaurant and a Roman Catholic church in the village. The house is surrounded by 6 acres of garden with mature trees, vines and has its own private swimming pool. The farmhouse was thoughtfully restored in 1998 although a new kitchen was fitted in 2006. The house sleeps 6 (plus small child's bed). The barn was restored in 2007 and has 1 double bedroom, a bunk room, shower room and kitchenette. The newly built pool is breathtaking with views over the distant mountains.
