Portonovo, Galicia 36979

This villa rises above a gorgeous sandy bay in Sanxenxo, and offers views over the estuary and the open sea beyond. Built of solid stone and offering five bedrooms, the accommodation is over three floors and boasts a large garden with swimming pool and chill-out area for those long summer barbecues. Approaching across the front lawn which has views over the beach to the left, and through the main entrance on the ground floor, we are welcomed by an entrance hall with marble flooring that continues up the stairs ahead to the right. This house stands out for its premium finishes throughout. The sleeping area is on this level, with light oak flooring taking us to the bedroom on the right, which benefits from a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom. Along the hallway to the left of the stairs we have two further bedrooms, the main suite and a third bedroom with its own separate bathroom opposite. All three bedrooms look out onto the front garden and the sea views behind. The central marble staircase takes us up to the upper floor, reserved for the main living areas, where the better views are afforded from the greater height and the slope of the land allows for access to the garden and pool to the rear. A fitted kitchen and dining room with access to a covered patio area face the garden at the back, and turning towards the front of the house, we have a living room with fireplace and high ceilings and of course, the views over the bay. In each wing of this floor we find two further bedrooms, both en-suite, and with balconies overlooking the sea. All bedrooms have bespoke fitted wardrobes and a combination of the marble and the solid oak flooring is used throughout. Going through the dining room or via the kitchen to the garden, we find a large swimming pool, with a large flat lawn area, served by a stone-built covered barbecue area at the rear. Sitting by the pool or even on the steps that divide the two levels of the garden you can see the beach, the estuary and even the Atlantic islands of Cies in the distance. Going back down the staircase to the basement level there is a garage easily large enough for five cars, as well as a second dining room and recreational room, used by current owners as a space to entertain guests. Also on this floor we find the cellar, machine and utility rooms with an oil boiler providing heat and hot water. This villa built by the owners in 2002 would suit a family looking for a beach house to enjoy during the summer, or anyone wanting to live in or retire to a property near the coast, looking for privileged sea views. It is in walking distance of Portonovo, with the well-known summer town of Sanxenxo on the doorstep and all the services and shopping you could ever require in Pontevedra, within easy reach via the highway link road.
