Description Modern Talking: Santa Leocádia Briteiros

This striking home looks like it's been taken straight from the pages of Architectural Digest. With its clean lines and sharp angles, it presents a space that will be loved by design buffs and those fond of a sleek and modern space that invites a free flow of light to radiate in abundance.

From the mid-century furniture pieces to the south-facing glass wall and stunning home library – every last detail of the house has been carefully curated with meticulous attention to detail.

The serene setting of the home will have you feeling relaxed from the moment you walk through the door. So curl up with a coffee and your chosen book, and sit with your feet up for a spot of relaxation. On warmer days, you'll find heaven in the nature-filled garden, which boasts a private swimming pool and plenty of outdoor seating to soak up the sun.

Come evening, serve up a delectable home-cooked Portuguese inspired meal at the stylish dining area before winding down with a glass of wine in front of the home cinema projector.

The nearest city is Braga; just a twenty-five minute drive away, where you'll find shops, bars and restaurants alike. And if you don't mind venturing a little further, the unmissable city of Porto is reachable in fifty-five minutes by car.
