Indoors
With an area of over 2,000 m², Villa Cadima retains the style of traditional Portuguese buildings, while adding a modern touch, all influenced by the architecture of Granada.
Both the main dining room and the living room have a fireplace and overlook a pond and fruit trees. French windows provide exceptional light at all times of the day.
An elegant breakfast nook, located next to the fully equipped kitchen, serves as the daily dining area. The kitchen has two ovens and all the necessary modern appliances. The staircase at the entrance to the kitchen leads to the cellar, which includes a staff beroom with its own bathroom. There is also a laundry room and two other rooms, one of which can be used for storage and the other as a wine cellar.
The most spectacular room in the house is undoubtedly the 100m² library. It contains 12,000 books spread over maple shelves, which rise to the ceiling, more than 6 metres high. A sitting area and a fireplace offer a moment of relaxation and calm.
In the main house, there are 4 very spacious bedrooms with bathrooms, lounge and dressing room.
Note: the house has a number of fireplaces which can be used at an additional cost.
Outdoors
The villa is accessed through a large wooden gate that opens onto a courtyard with a fountain. The courtyard is surrounded on all sides by a veranda with doors leading to the different rooms of the house.
The house is situated on a large, beautifully landscaped plot of 50,000 m² with fountains and tree-lined paths. Trellises and vines provide shade and surround the majestic main building.
The villa offers from June to September an access to a swimming pool and a pool house with bathroom. To get there, you have to open a small gate and cross a semi-private path reserved for pedestrians.
Location
Villa Cadima is nestled in a small village in the district of Coimbra, Portugal, 20 minutes from the Atlantic coast. Porto airport is an hour drive from the house. Only 30 meters from the house there is a pharmacy, small shops and a good bakery. Cantanhede with its shops and restaurants is only 5km away from Cadima.
The recommendation you gave is for lunch in Coimbra was a bit disappointing with no atmosphere . More information about the sites near Villa Cadima should appear on your web site as we missed out on seeing the library as could not get a booking on the day . Also let future visitors know the driving times between the sites so they can book and plan ahead more effectively .
