Solar Piedade - 12.500 sq m2 property with pool and tennis court near Porto

This property is in the center of a small city, and is a Villa with 12.500 m2.; Some buildings in the property are dated from 1740. The Villa used to be a farm with 100.000 m2. In the end of the past century, the property size was reduced, allowing us to take a better care of the beautiful gardens, the swimming pool and tennis court areas, and the decoration. A car trip from the villa to the downtown area of Porto takes 12 minutes (17 km), and the Atlantic coast and sandy beaches are 20 minutes (22 km) from the villa. The villa is totally modern and renovated and we take a lot of pride in the decoration and materials made available to our guests. The five rooms are devided in two separated houses. The 'Swimming Pool House', has two en-suite rooms on the 1st. floor, with views of the swimming pool area and it's garden, and the 'Cottage House', just five meters across, with three rooms, two on the 1st. floor and one on the ground floor. This house has one full bathroom on the 1st. floor and another, very spacious and modern full bathroom on the ground floor. We consider our rental ideal for groups of more than one family, but it is also very interesting for a single couple that want's a beatiful experience of staying in a large property.
There is free wi-fi in all rooms and inside areas, as well as outside, in the gardens. The parking is free and there is a lot of spaces available for that, and also a closed garage just for the guests vars. Children's cod's and high chairs are also available without any extra-charge.
There are two supermarkets at close, walking distance (Intermarché and Minipreço), as well as bakeries, restaurants and take aways barbecue, pizza hut delivery, ATM machines and banks... You will never feel isolated in this villa, but you will find a place where you and your family or friends have all the space you need to relax, be confortable and at ease, with lots of things to do... We think that from the first minutes of arriving until saying goodbye, our guests feel that Our Lady of Mercy Villa / Solar Piedade, is a perfect holiday home for groups and families. All the positive and pleasant reviews make us feel that our place is good and even very special to the people that have graced us with their visit, and words like 'oasis', 'paradise', 'wonderful', keep being mentioned, keeping us motivated to live up to the expectations. We are devoted to make our guests stays more pleasant than in the past, and keep investing and treasuring their comments and advises.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned villa, which features a private pool and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. The bathroom with a shower/tub combination features a jetted bathtub and a bidet.
Be sure to enjoy recreational amenities including an outdoor pool and an indoor pool. This villa also features an arcade/game room and barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Loved our stay in Alfena
We loved the villa the second we drove through the gates. Sebastian was so gracious with trying to communicate with us, hence Google translator helping. The entire compound, the swimming pool, bedrooms were great. We just wished we had more time to spend at the villa to enjoy it more. It's a small neighborhood but places you can walk to for groceries/restaurants. I would highly recommend this villa for your stay.

Nice property and host. Very responsive and friendly. We are a group 11 of three families and everybody loved the holiday. Supermarkets and nice restaurant can be reached by walking. Plenty activities to keep kids busy. You do need to have your own transport for accessing Porto. Thanks for hosting us.

Old World Charm with Modern Amenities
We loved our week at Solar Piedade! Perfect place for an active family that enjoy swimming, tennis, basketball, pool etc. within the compound of a beautiful old villa. Everything we needed was available and in addition, the location was close to the airport and downtown Porto. Great communication with Helder and Sebastian. This is a very unique property and I would highly recommend it.

Awesome Villa
We had the best time in Porto, Portugal for my daughter’s wedding. The villa is just perfect for a big family like ours. The place is huge and and very private but not far from the city, just 20 minutes (w/ traffic) drive to old town Porto. Will definitely go back there!

Didn’t want to leave!!!!
What an amazing property. 8 of us arrived (13-54) for a week and just didn’t want to leave. Everything about this place was perfect and we’re all so relaxed after our time there. The pool table, the tennis court, basket ball, swimming pool. There was plenty for everyone to do. We used Uber a couple of times to go into Porto but literally couldn’t wait to get back to the villa. The local town has good amenities and we did go off and explore and find some lovely walks among vineyards and some old cobbled streets. Cannot wait to go back

One of the most spectacular and self contained buildings and grounds that we have ever stayed in.

Happy Holiday
It was a beautiful property and very well looked after, with everything we needed. Pool was spotless. Very easy to get to airport, beach and into Porto. Not the most scenic immediate area but in the villa you are totally secluded and there are two big supermarkets within walking distance so shopping easy. Owner delightful, as was his dog!

Fabulous stay, 5 stars
We have just had an amazing holiday staying at Solar Peidade. From start to finish the hosts were amazing. Helder and his family were so helpful and kind. The villa was perfect for our family with a beautiful pool and lovely accommodation. We attended a family wedding during our stay and Helder organised our transport which was perfect. Supermarkets in walking distance, we couldn't have asked for more. We were all very sad to leave and hope to return one day. Thanks again to Helder and your parents. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great, long weekend 😀
Lovely spacious venue, great facilities with basketball court, pool table, tennis and of course a pool. we had bbq most nights, as the shops were really close with plenty of choice. Pretty quiet town, but Porto was only 20 mins in taxi. Would def recommend this venue and Helder and family were very welcoming and helpful if we needed them, but left us alone all weekend.

Splendid villa, a lovely relaxing holiday
I was very happy with updates about readiness of villa. Helder was there to meet us, no waiting about. He was helpful re places to eat and offered further information should we have needed it. The villa is very well equipped, plenty of towels for use in bathrooms and pool. Plenty of tennis racquets and balls, lovely well maintained tennis court. Pool very clean as was the whole villa and environs. The villa was a home from home, good equipment, lots of cutlery and crockery. We had a very relaxing stay at the villa, felt very safe and cared for.

Wonderful!
We recently stayed in this beautiful villa for a week whilst a couple people in our party competed in nearby Maia. It was fantastic! Clean, beautifully furnished, the owners are the friendliest people and always around to help and we had the best time. For three days we never left the villa! Table tennis, pool, tennis, badminton, basketball, football and ofcourse the swimming pool kept us all thoroughly entertained. There were 10 in our party and we never felt on top of one another, the villa is plenty big enough to accommodate that number and more. Two local supermarkets and plenty of restaurants are within easy walking distance and should you wish to go further taxis are very reasonable and the public transport is very reliable. We had a great time and plan to go back in the future!

Great place to spend a week with friends or family
This property is a green oasis. The old stone buildings are beautifully decorated. Spacious rooms and bathrooms, with comfortable beds. Well equipped kitchen. The pool is great and the movable roof is absolutely brilliant. The town does not have much to offer, but supermarkets are within walking distance, and the property is located perfectly for airport, train and drives in the area. Both the hosts and the couple living at the property are very welcoming and helpfull. If you are offered a tasting expirience - say yes! The homecooked food is amazing and totally worth a try :) Overall a very nice place to spend a week - even when weather is against you.
