About this home
Atlantic Lodge was designed by a renowned architecture practice to do one thing perfectly: frame the sea. The interiors stay relaxed and low-key so the panoramic Atlantic views keep the leading role.
Six bedrooms sleep twelve. There is a pool in the garden, a fireplace for misty mornings, board games for slow evenings, and Praia Mariana — the best surf beach in town — a few steps downhill.
Afife is the Minho coast at its wildest: hidden waterfalls and mountain trails inland, white sand and serious waves out front.

"Trés bon séjour familial, quartier calme et authentique. Maison accueillante oû on se sent vite chez soit. Juste quelques désagréments sur une partie du mobilier.d extérieur qui est aussi en nombre insuffisant. La piscine à permis aux enfants et aux adultes de passer de bons moments ensemble."

"We had a lovely family stay. Arrival was a little stressful as we were given the wrong access code, but after phoning the host it was sorted within about 15 minutes. Once inside, we were greeted with wine, biscuits, juice and coffee, which was such a thoughtful touch after travelling. The house itself is great — comfortable bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and everything we needed for a relaxed stay. The area is peaceful with beautiful Camino walking trails and long, sandy, almost‑empty beach"

"What can I say .. apart from what a fabulous 4 days we have had in the villa . It’s in a residential area but we loved that . It’s close to the beach and the host was so helpful and super quick communication that we cannot fault our family getaway as everyone loved it . Thank you so much would definitely recommend if you want something away from the hustle and bustle of tourists"
