Casa Serra Verde

The villa

Surrounded by rolling green landscapes and far - reaching rural views, Casa Serra Verde is a stylish, light - filled villa that balances contemporary design with relaxed country living. Arranged across two levels, the interiors are thoughtfully laid out to suit larger groups or families holidaying together. On the ground floor, a sleek, fully equipped kitchen opens into an inviting living and dining space, where large windows and terrace access blur the line between indoors and out. Soft furnishings, neutral tones and natural wood details create a calm, welcoming atmosphere throughout, with the six bedrooms, spread across both floors.

The outdoor spaces are equally impressive. A private swimming pool takes pride of place, bordered by a sun terrace with loungers perfectly positioned to soak up the views. There’s ample space for leisurely lunches and evening barbecues, with an outdoor dining area ideal for long meals under the sky.

Set close to the traditional village of Montaria in the Viana do Castelo region, Casa Serra Verde enjoys a peaceful, nature - rich setting, with walking trails, open countryside and the dramatic northern Portuguese coast all within easy reach.

Casa Serra Verde is set in the tranquil village of Montaria, nestled on the slopes of the Serra d’Arga mountains in northern Portugal’s Minho region. This is an area defined by lush landscapes, terraced fields and a strong connection to nature, where daily life moves at a gentle, unhurried pace. Known as the village of watermills, Montaria offers a charming glimpse into rural history and local traditions.

Local cafés, small shops and traditional restaurants serve authentic Minho flavours, including the region’s famous stone - baked cornbread and crisp Vinho Verde. The surrounding hills are crisscrossed with walking trails leading to the stunning Sete Lagoas (Seven Lagoons) and nearby waterfalls, perfect for exploring on foot. Keep an eye out for the Garranos, the rare wild horses that roam the area.

The region is also known for its rural heritage and deep - rooted folklore, with seasonal festivals celebrating music and local produce. Nearby, the historic town of Viana do Castelo adds cultural depth, while the Atlantic’s golden surf beaches offer a refreshing contrast to this peaceful mountain sanctuary.
