This beautiful manor house
has recently been lovingly restored by its owner who has also recreated
the gardens in the style of the period.
This eighteenth century house
was formerly the residence of the Viscountess of Maiorca. Even today many
local persons still refer to the house as 'Casa da Viscondessa' - 'House
of the Viscountess'.
As you look over the Neiva river valley from the house or gardens, the visitor is amazed at the energy and commitment that was required to restore the house from a shell and to re-create the gardens and plant the vineyards which stretch into the distance. The gardens provide many shady areas to relax and enjoy a good book with a glass of the excellent house wine at hand with the sound of the many fountains in the background. The house is well placed for day trips by car. To the south are the historic cities of Braga, Briteiros and Guimaraes while to the east is the National Park of Peneda-Geres and the towns of Ponte de Barca and Lindoso. Ponte de Lima also has an
excellent golf course which can be seen by clicking here.
There are eight guest bedrooms in the main house and additional self catering cottages in the grounds sleeping 2 or 4 persons. Guests have the use of the swimming pool, the tennis court and the snooker and table tennis tables. There is an open air kitchen which all guests are welcome to use. Light meals and snacks are available. |
