The Experience
You approach from the back, down the bumpy track, over the cattle grid… but the glory of this handsome villa is the front and the view. Overlooking the Dwyryd estuary and rolling Welsh hills you’re a ten-minute wander into the Italianate fantasy village of Portmeirion where you’ll find restaurants, cafés and a deserted beach.
The estate is covered in subtropical woodlands and the house’s terraced gardens, part-overrun, are heaven for children to hide-and-seek in. Adults have long lawns and a barbecue for al fresco dining. Inside is comfortable: Edwardian windows and polished oak floors, wood-burners in fireplaces, book-filled shelves. Toys, games and DVDs invite children to settle in, there’s a panelled library with an open fire and calming bedrooms. The master room opens onto a balcony with views over the estuary.
A generous hamper filled with lovely local stuff waits in the kitchen. The best of North Wales is at your feet: Black Rock Sands beach is a 15-minute drive, Porthmadog a 20-minute stroll, Snowdonia not much further.

We stayed over New Year with two small children and a dog. The house is truly amazing - beautiful, comfy rooms, warm log fires and/or wood burner, toys for the children, a wondrous view over the estuary, a huge garden with a wooden children's hut, all nestled down a peaceful lane well away from everything. On New Year's eve, they had fireworks in Portmerion, and standing on the balcony from the main bedroom felt like it was a private (and very elaborate, impressive - thank you Portmerion estate!) display.

Our family stayed here for the first time in June 2017 for a long weekend and family reunion. we completely fell in love with the home and the truly amazing relaxing location and we just couldn't resist returning again this June 2018 for 10 days. Set on a hill overlooking the estuary the panoramic views are simply stunning with beautiful surrounding gardens the peace and quiet is simply bliss. We met Paul the owner this year, truly first class gent and host, he even popped down to the local chemist when one of our guests was feeling a little worse for wear after the parting.

Beautiful house in a very tranquil spot. Had everything you need to keep a toddler happy, and there are lots of places to visit nearby for toddlers and older children. The large garden was very well fenced so it kept our rascally dog in- a bonus! We especially liked having a piano and the big library and log fires, and that it was only a short drive to a great dog walking beach. All in all a lovely holiday home.

Location
The neighbourhood
Set on its own peninsula reaching into the estuary, this fantastical collection of colourful buildings with an Italian influence was masterminded by Welsh architect Sir Clough Williams-Ellis. Today the buildings are all heritage listed and the site is a conservation area. There are stretches of quiet sandy beaches to discover, Porthmadog has a popular indoor swimming centre and Snowdonia is close.
Local points of interest from Paul de Thierry
- A ten minute walk through woods to Portmeirion village. A truly unique place where there is plenty to look at and lovely woodland walks. Also two good restaurants and a fantastic ice-cream shop!
- Take a picnic and walk through the sub-tropical woodlands of Portmeirion to a deserted beach.
- Beddgelert, Harlech and Capel Curig are within easy reach and wonderful places to visit
- Boston Lodge halt for the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland narrow-gauge steam railways is ten minutes by footpath. Steam enthusiasts can also book to go on Snowdon Mountain Railway.
- Ideal base for walking in the Snowdonia National Park and visiting stunning local beaches including Harlech and Morfa Nevyn.
- Adrenaline junkies can experience an extreme zip wire ride or bounce on a gigantic underground trampoline at Llechwedd Slate Caverns while their non-adrenaline junkie friends visit the historic slate mines!

Introducing
Paul de Thierry
As a child, Paul de Thierry visited his grandfather who lived beside the local steam railway. He fell in love with the area and the villa and is now lucky enough to own it. He is delighted to be able to share this special place with others.
Wonderful house, wonderful location. All six of us and the dog had a great time. As a thank you, we are leaving six martini glasses for the next time we visit.
