Private luxury villa in Gerês, Portugal: spa, sauna, fireplace, heated infinity pool and private lake view
Book onlineDiscover
Built in 2020 on a private 3,500 m² estate, Alynes follows the contours of the mountain. Glass and concrete, clean lines, floor-to-ceiling windows: everywhere, the landscape enters the house.
A through-lounge with a central fireplace, three suites opening onto the valley, and — below — a heated infinity pool that melts into Caniçada lake and the peaks of Portugal’s only national park.
What guests remember: a breathtaking view over the lake and the sierra, contemporary architecture, all-en-suite bedrooms and impeccable cleanliness.
“Here, the mountains come in through the windows, and the lake reaches right to the edge of the pool.”
Heated to 24.5 °C from May to September, facing due south over the lake and mountains. Salt-treated, chlorine-free water — ideal for sensitive skin.
A six-seat outdoor hot tub, open to the valley and the peaks of the Gerês.
A panoramic sauna for your evenings, after a day of hiking or swimming.
A fully equipped indoor kitchen and a summer kitchen by the pool.
Each bedroom has its own bathroom, walk-in wardrobe and balcony over the valley.
3,500 m² of gardens and protected native woodland, high in the mountains.
Portugal’s only national park begins minutes away: waterfalls, lagoons, granite trails and timeless villages. Check-in is self-service, via a secure key box, at the hour that suits you.
In Ventosa, above Rio Caldo (Terras de Bouro), Alynes watches over Caniçada lake — an eight-minute walk from the shore. A village of water and granite, between the mountains and forests of the Costa Verde.
About an hour from Porto airport, close to the São Bento da Porta Aberta sanctuary and the Gerês thermal baths. Swimming, boat trips and sunsets over the valley — and yet, you feel alone in the world.

For more than twenty years we have worked in the world of exceptional properties — from finding rare addresses to showcasing them, in Switzerland and in Portugal. Alynes was born of that standard: to offer far more than a rental — a true experience, worthy of the finest homes.
Every detail of the villa — the architecture, the materials, the service — carries that signature: expertise patiently honed, for travellers in search of authenticity and refinement. Welcoming you to Alynes means opening the doors of a place we imagined, cherish and share with the utmost care.
