XVII-Century Portuguese Country Estate for retreat, celebration or farm stay
If you long for a farm garden to have a screen-free or reading retreat, organize a private event, or celebrate a birthday, wedding, or another special occasion in communion with nature, fresh air, and history, this rural property is the place for you.
You’ll connect to the landscape and have the option to further unplug by sitting under millennial olive trees, interacting with donkeys, sheep, and other farm animals; harvesting from a kitchen garden; picking fresh fruits; doing your laundry in an open-air tank; or going bird and night sky watching.
Stunning seaside Viana do Castelo, the Geres National Park, Ponte de Lima, and a variety of Minho villages await you nearby, where you can visit Palaeolithic and Neolithic sites, golf, do beach sports, go horseback riding, or walk in nature.
With 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, including an emperor wedding suite with a balcony overlooking a fabulous swimming pool, a tower junior queen suite, and a guesthouse that is independent from the main house; 3 full kitchens; a spacious living room; a meeting/dining room that seats 22 people; outdoor dining; and outdoor furniture in relaxation spots of the estate, guests will feel at home and relaxed.
Expect attentive hospitality, cleanliness, listing accuracy, and an extraordinary quality of stay. You’ll be impressed both by the prime interior materials, the comfort of 300 to 600 and even 700 thread count satin cotton bed linens, and the detailed renovation, and by the extensive outdoor privacy and natural landscape.
