ABOUT MINHO
The areas of Minho extend from the Spanish border in the north, south to Porto and east to the mountains of Vila Real. It is a green and fertile area of rolling hills encompassing the great rivers Minho, Lima and Douro, and the National Park of Peneda Geres. The countryside of the region is typified by long, sandy beaches bordered by pine woods, picturesque villages nestling among vine-covered hills, and historic towns such as Amarante, Guimaraes, Barcelos, Ponte de Lima, and Viana do Castelo.
The area encompasses a range of postcard-worthy landscapes and features that could almost be Portugal in microcosm: dreamy river scenes, high mountains, rolling vineyards, beautiful historic towns, dramatic Atlantic beaches, ancient religious foundations and mysterious archaeological sites.
Then there's the bold, sharp and fruity Vinho Verde to consider. This young wine is fashioned from the fruit of kilometres of vineyards that wind along rivers, over foothills and into Minho mountain villages.
But while you're enjoying one of our fantastic villas in Minho, you may well want to take some time out from all that sun worship to explore everything else the region has to offer – so we've put together this handy travel guide to give you a little help and inspiration!

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesVilla Escusa is not just a haven for adults seeking relaxation but also a fantastic retreat for families with children. The villa enjoys a single-storey layout so that parents can breathe a sigh of relief. This eliminates the need to worry about stairs, ensuring a safe and convenient environment for children to move around freely.
The kids will be delighted to discover that the villa is equipped with essential modern amenities to keep them entertained. With WiFi and satellite TV, there's no need to worry about restless moments; they'll be able to watch their favourite shows or connect with friends online when they're not out exploring and stay occupied while their parents are busy preparing meals or getting ready for the day ahead.
There are no single beds in the villa, but older children will enjoy the novelty of sleeping in "big beds" as part of their holiday adventure, while a cot and highchair are provided for the youngest members of the family, ensuring their comfort and convenience during the stay.
The villa's outdoor spaces also cater perfectly to children, with a private swimming pool that is easily accessible via steps. Children will absolutely love splashing around and enjoying the water. However, it's important to note that the pool is unfenced, so parents should keep an eye on their little ones to ensure their safety. Villa Escusa also offers a shaded alfresco dining area, perfect for family meals out of the sun. Children can comfortably enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner with the rest of the family while staying cool and shaded.
Beyond the villa's amenities, the surrounding area offers a range of family-friendly activities and amenities. Nearby beaches like Moledo and Afife provide sandy shores for sandcastle building and splashing in the waves. The region also offers horse riding, rafting, and canoeing opportunities, promising exciting adventures for kids and adults alike.
