About this home
Oliveira's Farm spreads five bedrooms across a rustic-style farmhouse — two with queen beds, one king, and two twin rooms sharing four singles — plus five full bathrooms and a separate guest WC. The living room holds a chess table and board games, while a dedicated games room adds a pool table, foosball and cards. Outside, a private pool sits within a garden thick with fruit trees.
The farm lies in the countryside outside Viana do Castelo, 12 km from the town centre. Cabedelo Beach, known for windsurfing, kitesurfing and surfing, is 8.7 km away, the Lima River just 2.1 km, and Valinhas Park 15 km. Pharmacies and supermarkets are close by.
Mornings might mean coffee on the patio before a walk down to the stream that runs through the grounds, or picking fruit straight from the trees. Afternoons settle into the pool or a game of pool table in the games room, and evenings end with a barbecue in the outdoor dining area as the garden cools.

"O espaço da casa é lindíssimo. A piscina fez as delícias de pequenos e graúdos (esteve muito calor durante a nossa estadia). Recomendo a instalação de um corrimão nas escadas da piscina para facilitar o acesso à pessoas com mobilidade mais reduzida. A casa está muito bem decorada e com muito espaço de arrumação. Está muito bem equipada com todos os utensílios. A 5 minutos de carro temos 2 hipermercados (Intermarche e Lidl) e o retail park do Lima. Viana do fica a 10 minutos. Recomendo vivamente"

"The kitchen and living room of this house are very spacious, and each bedroom has its own bathroom, making it perfect for family or friends to gather for a holiday. The swimming pool is 15 meters long, which is impressively large, and the kids absolutely loved it. In addition, the location is excellent — just 5 minutes to Lidl and a little over 10 minutes to reach the center of Viana do Castelo and the shopping mall. Overall, we had a wonderful holiday here."
