There’s something beautifully relaxed about The Fox House. The countryside setting gives the whole celebration a sense of space and calm, while the villa itself provides an intimate base for the couple and their closest guests across the wedding weekend. Ceremonies unfold naturally within the surrounding landscape before drinks and dinner flow easily across the gardens. It’s the kind of place where weddings feel immersive rather than staged – thoughtful, atmospheric, and quietly memorable.

What's so special about The Fox House?

The Fox House | A Countryside Villa Designed for Laid-Back Destination Weddings

In the quieter heart of central Portugal, surrounded by woodland and open countryside, The Fox House is a private villa designed for destination weddings that feel relaxed, immersive, and beautifully connected to nature. The setting is calm and expansive – a house framed by greenery and long countryside views, where the pace of the weekend naturally slows the moment guests arrive.

At its centre sits an elegant private villa with six suites, accommodating up to twelve guests on site. It becomes an intimate base for the couple and their closest circle across the wedding weekend, while the wider guest list gathers for the celebration itself. Weddings here can host up to 150 guests, with the surrounding grounds offering generous space for outdoor ceremonies that feel seamlessly part of the landscape.

Celebrations unfold easily. Guests arrive through the countryside and gather in the gardens for the ceremony before drifting into drinks and conversation across the grounds. As the light softens, dinner settles into place – long tables beneath open skies or within the villa’s carefully designed event spaces, depending on the season and style of the celebration. The atmosphere is relaxed and connected, allowing the day to flow naturally rather than feeling overly structured.

The Fox House is offered on an exclusive-use basis, ensuring the villa and its surrounding grounds belong entirely to your celebration. Catering is handled in house, allowing the culinary experience to move effortlessly with the rhythm of the day – from early evening drinks through to the final course of dinner.

For guests travelling from the UK, Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport in Porto is approximately one hour and twenty minutes away by car, making the journey refreshingly straightforward for a destination wedding that still feels quietly off the main path. Once here, the countryside setting offers a welcome sense of retreat.

Thoughtfully designed and deeply connected to its surroundings, The Fox House suits couples looking for a destination wedding that feels grounded in nature and atmosphere – where the landscape shapes the backdrop and the celebration unfolds with effortless ease.

Nearest Airports: The nearest airport for you and your guests travelling from abroad is Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport, 1 hr 21 min (120 km) from The Fox House.

Price: From €35.000

What Couples Say

“Our wedding weekend at The Fox House was truly magical, and we are still overwhelmed by how perfectly everything turned out! So much of this was thanks to Mafalda & Miguel – the most charismatic, energetic, and thoughtful wedding planners you could ever hope for….From the moment we arrived, they made us – and all of our guests – feel completely at home in The Fox House, one of the most breathtaking places we have ever been….The Fox House, together with Mafalda & Miguel, now holds a very special place in our hearts. We could not recommend them more highly – other couples would be very lucky to celebrate their wedding here. With so much gratitude,”

What Couples Say

“You will NOT regret hosting your wedding at The Fox House. The venue itself is absolutely stunning, but what truly made it unforgettable was the way everything came together. The food, the preparation, and the entire planning process went far beyond our expectations. Miguel and Mafalda put so much heart and love into what they do. Nothing about the experience felt stressful or transactional; it never felt like we were just another event on their calendar. From the very beginning, they made us feel like our wedding truly mattered. Whenever we had specific requests, they delivered with care and precision. And it wasn’t just the wedding day. The Sunday pool party was an unforgettable celebration in its own right — the perfect way to end a weekend we’ll remember forever. They are just very, very good at what they do! We feel like we have made friends for live with Miguel and Mafalda. We are desperate to find any excuse in the future to do another party with them.  I truly recommend working with them.”

Olivia & Doug from Hong Kong, September 2025
