#### Location
Enjoying a great position within the town of Esmoriz, a range of amenities and a sandy beach are within short walking distance. Its unspoilt, white sands are lapped by azure waters and a promenade offers picturesque walks and bike rides. You'll also find a good choice of cafes and restaurants from which to get lunch or some ice creams to treat the family.
Around a 15-minute drive away is the fascinating city of Santa Maria da Feira. One of its most impressive sites is the Castle of Santa Maria da Feira, which is one of the most intact medieval structures in Portugal. There's plenty to marvel at here, including a citadel, keep, great hall and the views from the top of the parapets.
Every August, the town is transformed into a medieval world to reflect its rich past. The fair is full of merchants and artisans selling their goods and the castle plays host to re-enactments and costumed actors educating and informing. Watch knights taking part in jousting tournaments and street performers juggling and breathing fire.
The city of Porto is 25 minutes away from the villa and is the second-largest city in Portugal. Sitting by the River Douro, much of its heritage is connected to the water and you can see this by going on a boat tour under Porto's six bridges. The medieval centre of Ribeira can also be found by the banks of the river and its cobbled streets are full of old merchants' houses and quaint cafes. Head further into the city to visit the enchanting Livraria Lello bookshop and the Baroque Clerigos Church.
