Quinta de Vermil

Quinta de Vermil is a beautiful Manor House with formal gardens in Ponte de Lima in the North of Portugal

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'.

The previous owner entered a religious order which required her to sell her houses and donate the proceeds to the order. 

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
