About Villa Chao

Contemporary villa with views of the river in Caminha

Just a short drive from the golden shoreline of Praia de Moledo and the serene river beach of Praia Fluvial de Vilar de Mouros, this exceptional villa enjoys a commanding position above the River Minho, in the quiet village of Argela, near Caminha. Elevated, private and surrounded by natural beauty, it offers panoramic views that stretch across river and countryside, creating a setting of rare tranquillity.

Newly completed for the 2026 season and introduced to the market for the very first time, this is a contemporary retreat designed for refined living in one of Northern Portugal’s most enchanting locations.

The villa’s elevated and secluded position ensures both privacy and uninterrupted vistas. Inside, three beautifully appointed bedrooms have been thoughtfully arranged to balance comfort and discretion. The principal double bedroom benefits from its own, elegant ensuite shower room, while a second, stylishly finished shower room serves the remaining bedrooms. Every detail has been carefully considered and maintained to an impeccable standard, ensuring a seamless stay.

The interiors blend clean, modern lines with curated vintage accents, creating a warm yet sophisticated ambience. The open-plan living, dining and fully equipped kitchen area forms the heart of the home; a light-filled space designed for gathering, dining and relaxing together. A separate laundry room, complete with washing machine, sink and drying area, adds practical ease for extended stays.

Outdoors, the villa truly comes into its own. A private swimming pool (with optional heating available at an additional cost), dedicated barbecue area and comfortable garden furnishings invite long, leisurely days under the sun. Whether enjoying alfresco dining or simply absorbing the sweeping river views, guests will appreciate the profound sense of calm afforded by the property’s privileged position.

An exceptional escape for those seeking beaches, nature, privacy and understated luxury, all within one of Northern Portugal’s most captivating landscapes.

Things we love

“Porto is the perfect size to explore by foot. Visitors will love wandering down the alleyways full of history and nostalgia, or strolling across the famous Dom Luís I Bridge before sampling some of the delicious local Port wine!”

Things to Be Aware of

“While the cobbled streets add character to Porto’s historic neighbourhoods, they can be challenging for those with mobility concerns. Navigating the city involves hills and uneven surfaces, which might pose difficulties for individuals with limited mobility or those pushing strollers. We recommend you wear comfortable footwear when exploring the city.”
