Living in a luxurious mansion, combining privacy and entertainment in a 4,300 m² estate, is the dream of many of us. This is a dream that can now become reality if you've got the budget, and is very close to what is known as the "Portuguese Venice".
This week, in our original houses section, we travel to Portugal's Northern region, to take a look around this stunning property with contemporary architecture inserted in an estate in Santiago da Riba-UI, in Oliveira de Azeméis.
The amenities and class of a luxury hotel
In this stunning mansion of 659 m² of gross private area, you won't feel the need to take a holiday, as living here is like living in a private 5-star hotel.
Imagine waking up in the morning, walking to the garden where you can dive into a magnificent pool, then having a good workout in the gym without having to wait for your favourite machine to become free and, after lunch, still having the difficult task of deciding whether to invite your friends over for a game of tennis or for a good afternoon contemplating the seventh art in your cinema room. Yes, all of this will be possible without you having to leave your own home.
Two floors where charm and serenity meet
Not only ideal for leisure activities, this dream villa also favours rest and comfort. With this in mind, the first floor of the property is home to:
- Three suites with dressing rooms and stunning views of the garden;

And if you're passionate, about cars, you can afford to rival Cristiano Ronaldo's car collection, as your new villa has a detached garage with capacity for six cars.
Porto and the Portuguese Venice just around the corner
And the cherry on top of the cake is certainly the beautiful northern region where the estate is located. Inserted in the Metropolitan Area of Porto, this magnificent villa is only 30 minutes away from Aveiro, the so called "Portuguese Venice", and the "Cidade Invicta", i.e. Porto, Portugal's second city. For the hottest days you also have Furadouro Beach only half an hour away.
And you are not a great fan of driving, the Oliveira de Azeméis railway station is close by and waiting for you to easily take you by train wherever you want to go. You will also have regular bus connections.
If you are not yet convinced that this will be your next address, then we advise you to get to know this municipality which is full of history, culture and nature. In Oliveira de Azeméis you can enjoy the beauty of the natural parks, such as the Park of La Salette, where you can find the splendid Sanctuary of Our Lady of La Salette, as well as visit the Monastery of São Martinho do Couto de Cucujães, among other places of interest.
And if you already have or are thinking of having children, this property ticks all the boxes, as there is no lack of primary and secondary schools in the area, and even universities, such as the Aveiro-Norte Higher School.
