Hillside House

About

Hillside is a charming stone-built private house with a one acre rural estate. Carefully renovated by its`owners, respecting the traditional structure but with a wholly contemporary style, the orriginal walls are now incorporated within the extended house contrasting with the softer tones of wall-papers and paint to create a peaceful harmony between past and present. Relaxing Gardens offer a multitude of different atmospheres and a host of hidden nooks to enjoy. Not only the formal pool and patio area or cool shade of the Hillside Vine and perfumes of the kitchen garden but woodland,rock and heath with even a wildlife pond as an additional surprise. Situated in an attractive village on the slopes above Valenca, the area offers spectacular views over the Minho Valley and is the ideal centre to explore the beautiful border lands of the "Lower Minho" or simply relax.
