About this home
Villa Aura is the useful kind of luxury: a newly renovated five-bedroom design villa where the sauna, the gym and the outdoor pool are yours alone, wrapped in a tropical garden that hides the world.
Up to twelve guests spread across five bedrooms. Air conditioning, fireplace, board games, EV charger, barbecue — the practical list is long; the atmosphere stays light.
Five minutes one way is Cabedelo, the wild Atlantic beach where the north learns to kitesurf; five minutes the other, Viana do Castelo's historic centre and its restaurants.
More than a stay.

"We were 6 colleagues who wanted to do a vacation and had the perfect time! The house is perfect for working and enjoying the pool or jacuzzi after work. The bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. We would always come back. Special thanks to Ricardo who answered very quick and was a good guide during our stay. All in all highly recommended! :)"
