Villa D at Molhe 479 is a €3.9M four‑bedroom luxury villa in Foz do Douro, Porto, featuring a rooftop infinity pool, sea views, and travertine interiors.
MOLHE 479 ST, FOZ DO DOURO, PORTO
€3,875,000 | 4 En‑Suite Bedrooms | 518 m² Private Interior | Rooftop Infinity Pool
Perched at the meeting point of the Douro River and the Atlantic, Villa D distils five‑star‑hotel indulgence into a private residence—travertine beneath bare feet, sea salt on the breeze, and panoramic glazing that captures both sunrise shimmer and sunset fire.
A Jewel in Porto’s Most Prestigious Waterfront Quarter
Porto’s Atlantic edge—Foz do Douro—has long been the address of choice for those who crave contemporary design wrapped in old‑world charisma. Tucked into the quiet elegance of Rua do Molhe, Villa D at Molhe 479 represents the pinnacle of boutique coastal living: only four residences share this landmark, and the corner unit claims the finest vantage point of all.
Architectural Alchemy: Light, Stone & Sea
Molhe 479 is conceived as a lyrical interplay of travertine, glass and daylight. Villa D rises in cascading volumes, each level wrapped in full-height minimal glazing that dissolves the threshold between interior serenity and the Atlantic horizon. Cantilevered concrete planes shade generous terraces, while the façade’s creamy natural stone echoes Foz’s sun‑bleached sands.
Signature Elements
- Suspended rooftop pool with glass edge and panoramic ocean views
- Dramatic double‑height atrium floods the core with daylight
- Seamless travertine marble floors flow from interior to exterior
- Discreet KNX smart‑home automation manages climate, lighting & security
Interior Narrative: Crafted for Effortless Elegance
Stepping through the pivot door, guests enter a 100 m² open-plan living/dining pavilion where floating stair treads play against warm oak joinery. A bespoke Italian kitchen—fully equipped with premium integrated appliances—anchors one end of the social zone, while sliding panels hide the prep area when soirées spill onto the terrace.
Each of the four bedroom suites occupies its own level of privacy:
- Principal Suite – full‑width balcony, dressing gallery, spa bathroom with book‑matched marble slabs and freestanding tub.
- Junior Suite – south‑facing juliet balcony, ideal for visiting family.
- Convertible Suite – designed with three preset schemes: home office, fitness studio, or additional guest room.
- Garden Suite – direct access to the lawn for morning yoga or a Labrador’s dash.
Bathrooms are a study in tactile luxury—travertine vanity blocks, Dornbracht fixtures, underfloor heating and anti‑fog mirrors pre‑wired for smart displays.
Lifestyle & Wellness on Every Level
- Rooftop Oasis – suspended pool, outdoor kitchen, sun lounges and a sea‑view fire pit for sunset aperitifs.
- Men’s Cave & Wine Cellar – beneath street level, temperature-controlled racks for 500 bottles, plus a cinema lounge.
- Four‑car garage – hydraulic lift links every floor; EV-ready with 22 kW chargers.

Intelligent Sustainability
A rain-water harvesting circuit, rooftop solar panels and a discreet micro-wind turbine cut resource consumption, pushing Villa D toward near-passive-house performance—without compromising comfort.
Location Benefits: Serenity Meets Connectivity
From Villa D, residents stroll to Molhe Beach, the yacht-fringed Passeio Alegre Garden, and Michelin-listed seafood bistros along the esplanade. International schools (Oporto British, CLIP, Lycée Français), Universidade Católica Portuguesa, and CUF Private Hospital all lie within ten minutes. Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport is a swift 15-minute drive via the coastal expressway.
The forthcoming Avenida Nun’Álvares—a landscaped boulevard planned directly in front of Molhe 479—will amplify property desirability with promenades and enhanced mobility links to Porto’s UNESCO-listed downtown.
Investment Perspective
Prime new-build supply in Foz do Douro remains scarce, and corner plots rarer still. Porto’s luxury market consistently outpaces national averages, while Portugal’s golden-visa alternatives continue to channel HNW demand across the EU. Villa D’s €3.875 million price tag therefore positions it as both lifestyle trophy and defensible asset.
