22 villas comprise Solmar Villas' new destination range

The new range of villas expands the provider's Portuguese range to the Costa Verde region, north of Porto.

Positioned as a more authentic and less-developed option than Portugal's classic resorts and cities in the nation's south, Costa Verde boasts lush forestry, impressive landscapes and a pristine coastline.

22 villas are on offer across Costa Verde's more secluded areas, with Solmar Villas encouraging guests to combine accommodation with car hire to explore the region's highlights.

Villa Calista, a converted farmhouse (pictured above), sits on the bank of the Cávado River's estuary, near the small city of Esposende. The city's palm-lined boulevard, marina and beach are easily accessible by foot from the six-bedroom property. Seven-night stays lead in at £3,699.

Villa Geres offers a more intimate stay, with three bedrooms tucked away in the mountainous landscape boasting views of the Cávado River. Seven nights for up to six guests start from £1,329.

As standard, both properties feature private swimming pools and can be combined with flights, car hire and transfers or booked on an accommodation-only basis.

Solmar's Agent Promise guarantees commission on all booking elements, price parity, ABTA and ATOL protection, in-resort support and a 24-hour helpline.
