Zara Phillips' mini honeymoon in Portugal?

Britain's Zara Phillips' Portuguese holiday villa should be ready for a post-wedding break.

The granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth has bought a four-bedroom, four-bathroom property called Villa Cascais, and locals say it should be complete in time for her and England Rugby player fiance, Mike Tindall, to have a short break after their July 30 wedding.

The house is on a 200-acre gated development, located 20 minutes north of the capital, Lisbon, and includes a private pool and terrace. It is thought to have cost around £600,000 in total according to Britain's Daily Mail.

The property is part of the CampoReal Golf Resort and Spa which is being built by a friend of Zara's father, Captain Mark Phillips.

The resort should also suit World Championship winning equestrian Zara, as it will include a riding school and equestrian centre with stables for 40 horses.

The couple have previously revealed they will not be able to take a honeymoon until November because of their respective sporting commitments, with Mike saying he'd be available for to play in England's World Cup warm-up match against Wales on Aug 6.

Martin Johnson, the England team manager said: "He spoke to me and said he is getting married at the end of July. I said it is a week before the first game and he said 'right, I'm available'."
