ABOUT THE AREA

The house is on the edge of countryside in the village of Valonga de Vouga and you are within walking distance of shops and services. The village is situated inland from the coastal town of Aveiro which is about 20km away. It is also midway between Coimbra and Porto, each of which are 70km away to the south and north respectively. Coimbra is the site of Portugal's oldest University while Porto is the capital of the production of port wine and, as such, has a long, historical association with the British, many of whom had port wine vineyards along the river Douro. The area has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years not least because of its attractiveness to tourists but also because of the beneficial tax schemes which the Portuguese government has set up to attract foreign buyers.
