Casa Boa Koster

The River Mira gives the town it’s name, and connects it to the Atlantic Ocean at Vilanova de Milfontes, some 15Km downstream. The house lays at the end of a small lane overlooking the beautiful River Mira. Having been uninhabited for the past 25 years, the house has been lovingly restored by professional carpenter Bas Koster, who has transformed this once-derelict property into a beautiful, charm

ing villa that blends traditional Portuguese architecture with clean interior woodworking, a product of his carpentry experience in the Swiss Alps. The house has a large wooden sun terrace that extends out from the ground floor and provides fantastic views over the river. The terrace is the perfect place to sunbathe, BBQ and enjoy a glass of tinto and the proximity to the river means that the terrace always catches a little breeze which prevents it from getting too hot, even in the height of summer.
