The Fox House - Private Villa & Nature

The Fox House - Private Villa & Nature
Enjoy the privacy of your own Villa, combining the splendid gardens along with the inspiring countryside landscape with worthy amenities at The Fox House.
Located in the centre region of Portugal, next to the millenary volcanic thermal area, the six-suite property has space for a large family or group of friends, authentic and charming, ideal location for unique gatherings, boutique events, and live memorable moments.

The Villa
Explore the seven hectares estate, tour the colourful gardens, feel the spring water freshness, enjoy the quietness of the pond with the old olive tree, or simply relax by the infinity pool and take in the sunset views.
Set in a magical green valley with panoramic views of rolling hills, the stone villa offers plenty of space and fantastic amenities to enjoy a unique experience.
Choose from the chaise longues by the pool, a shady spot under the oaks and chestnut trees, or a seat under the pergola for amazing views. By night chat under a starring sky on the patio, look at the stars on the balcony, or listen to the water melody from the spring waters in the gardens.
You'll receive a delicious daily breakfast, but you must save time for a vibrant dinner with our Chef at The Fox Club. For foodies, the traditional BBQ inspires new recipes and moments of joy.
For entertainment, there's high-speed Wi-Fi access, a sound system, and a big screen for a family movie night, and the Ping-Pong table, the volleyball, the mountain bikes, and the hiking tracks are available for the sporty ones. The pond and its island, the gardens, the stone water springs invite mindfulness, meditation and yoga moments. For comfort, there are fireplaces, hunderfloor heating and air conditioning.

Enjoy
Originally a farmhouse in ruins, the Villa has been fully restored to preserve its traditional stone walls; the furnishings and decoration balance between pieces with history and a modern twist with comfort, creating a special welcoming atmosphere.
In the living room, comfortable sofas, wingback chairs in reds and traditional Persa wool carpet are around the cosy fireplace. The dining room is traditional, with a classic design of wooden table and chairs and some unique family furniture. In the fully equipped kitchen, a striking stone balcony invites to enjoy new recipes.
The BBQ and the pergola are the perfect spots for memorable alfresco moments, and The Fox Club for party nights, where the Chef's creativity combines with the tradition of a private acoustic concert of the Portuguese "fado" song or a unique DJ set.

Neighbourhoods
A stay at The Fox House - Private Villa & Nature wouldn't be complete without a stroll around the thermal museum or in the typical "Xisto" stone villages.
Located in the Dão wine region, surrounded by two wine regions Douro with the unique Port wine and Bairrada with the fantastic sparkling wine, invites for a tour and wine tastings.
After you've explored the estate, it's only 10 minutes to the nearest traditional restaurants and groceries in the nearby village.

Discover
On day tours with one-hour driving, you can explore four cities that show the diversity of culture, landscape, and gastronomy.
The cosmopolitan Porto city and the unique Douro valley, Aveiro the Venice of Portugal with the "moliceiro" boats and the beach of Costa Nova with the strip painted houses, Coimbra and the secular university and is traditions, Viseu with this unique heritage, the golf course, nearby is the awarded Paiva Walkaways and 516 Bridge, the world's longest suspension pedestrian bridge.
The international Porto airport is about 1h15 min away.

Holy Week Easter Family 2924
We were family of 16. We enjoyed our stay at The Fox House. Family was accommodated very well in this home. Enjoyed having Chef dinner at the Fox House one evening. The grounds are so very beautiful and well cared for including pool area. Our only regret that the weather was poor cold and 3x average rain which did spoil enjoying the outdoors during most of our stay. The grandkids did polar plung and made the most of it.

Extraordinary Experience
Our experience at The Fox House was extraordinary in different ways, the aggregate of which I rate as one of the best villa rental experiences I’ve had in 17 trips to Italy & Europe spanning 30 years. As the organizer for the gathering of 11 friends for a one week first time stay in the Portugal, my goals were to achieve the following: 1) Become intimate with the food & wine of the Portugal; 2) Gain insight to the region’s history; 3) Understand the nuances of Port wine, explore the Douro & Dao wine regions; 4) Find a villa that was comfortably spacious with excellent cooking facilities and 5) Arrange for cooking lessons and chef prepared dinners focused on preparing dishes special to the Portugal, some of which that would provide “takeaway” recipes to share with friends and family at home. Each of the 5 Stars awarded with this review is well deserved for exceeding expectations in each of the five goals outlined above. All of this would not have been possible without the welcome and active engagement of our wonderful hosts, Mafala and Miguel!!!!. Candidly, they exude a brilliant pride and compassion for Portugal and the experiential sense of place known as The Fox House. Unquestionably, the wonderful outcome for our stay was facilitated and enhanced by their hands on detailed approach to each of our planned events (four) that occurred during our stay. Mafala and Miguel’s excellent planning is a marvelous complement to The Fox House as a grounded place of gathering

Amazing place in a wonderful setting
We stayed at the Fox house for 4 nights and couldn’t have picked a better place. Miguel and Mafalda were really welcoming and helped suggest and plan a few day trips in the region which were amazing (particularly the boat tour). The house itself is an hour away from Porto and the Duoro so really well situated to explore the region. We came in and out from Lisbon which is a bit further away but there are plenty of nice places to stop off en route. We can’t wait to come back to Portugal and the Fox house soon!

It was paradise!
Fox House is perfect! It is extremely comfortable with everything you could possibly need. There is so much space for everyone to enjoy, the gardens are beautiful and very tranquil. Each room is very comfortable, charming and individual. Breakfast every morning set out on the patio by Arlette was such a treat and always delicious. And having our rooms tidied was perfect, she was always very friendly and helpful. We were greeted by Miguel and Mafalda and shown around the property, it was lovely to hear the history and how the renovations were done, mostly by themselves. They are so proud of Fox House, and rightly so. Our stay there was very special, thank you both for allowing us to stay.

Amazing views and hosts!
If you are looking at the pictures and thinking “this can’t possibly be real”, it is without a doubt, 100% real. The pictures are a completely accurate representation of the pool area and house. What isn’t captured in the pictures is just how stunning the views are. Everywhere you look, you are in awe, and this feeling didn’t go away after 10 days. Miguel and Mafalda were the best hosts we could have asked for. They answered all of our questions leading up to our stay and when we showed up at 11am to store our bags while we waited for check in, they provided us with activity and restaurant suggestions. We also worked with them to have an evening with a private chef which was amazing! On our last day they even brought us a meal of traditional suckling pig. We couldn’t have been happier with our experience! We travelled as a group of 12, including 9 adults, 2 toddlers and a newborn. For us, the location was a bit more remote than was convenient, simply because of the children’s dinner schedule. So while planning the trip I expected us to go out for most dinners, while in reality we ended up cooking every evening. Our group enjoyed cooking on the outdoor barbecue and we were amazed at how affordable and high quality the groceries were that we got from the local butcher shop and market. The high speed Internet is mainly accessible from the Fox Club and outdoors. This worked out very well for our group as the adults could stream from Netflix or other services in the Fox Club after the young children had gone to bed. The Fox Club experience has all the comforts of a private villa and all the comforts of a 5 star resort wrapped into one. I would recommend it in a heartbeat, in fact I already have, and I would definitely return!

Spectacular Site for a Group Vacation
First, about us: a group of 6 American couples (12 people) who have traveled extensively but had never traveled as a complete group before. Two of us were celebrating 60th birthdays. We spent 3 days in Lisbon, then 5 days at Fox House, then we all split up for separate travels. We used Fox House as a base for day trips to Porto, Douro, and hiking. The location of Fox House, which might seem a little rural, is a great central point for most things in northern Portugal. We asked Mafalda and Miguel to suggest chefs for 3 of our 5 nights. If you are like us, you are probably wondering what the Fox House will be like (does it match the pictures?) and whether the chefs they suggest will really be worth the cost. The house is wonderful. Mafalda and Miguel have made excellent choices in renovating Fox House. Each bedroom can be equipped with single beds or doubles (we chose all doubles), and each has its own bathroom. Oh yes, the layout: there's a main house with 4 bedrooms, an additional villa with 2 more bedrooms, and a separate Fox Club. Fox Club has a professional kitchen that sits behind a large entertainment room with couches, a bar, and a dining table. We LOVED the ability to gather as a group. In a hotel you lose that—but at Fox House you always have ways to celebrate together. In addition, the house and grounds are so large and diverse that practically everyone could find a little spot or nook to read or work alone when needed. Our total vacation time varied by couple, but in general was about 12 days for this trip—only 5 of which were spent at Fox House. However, it's the group's consensus that our best days were spent at Fox House. As well as our best meals. The two chefs (Luis and Henrique) took turns creating the best meals we had in Portugal. While some portion of their success might be attributed to the setting (the relaxed Fox House atmosphere), the food was simply outstanding. I honestly don't remember a weak course that either chef served. In typical Portuguese fashion the meals were advertised very simply, but in practice were quite elaborate, and had great wine pairings. We have some serious “foodies” in our group, and everyone was thoroughly delighted by the meals. Mafalda and Miguel were super attentive to all our needs, and although they (and the housekeeper) stay out of sight by default, we found them so delightful that we dragged them into our party when we could. Fox House was a delight. Hearty recommendation!
