Overview

This magnificent historic quinta sits in the heart of the Minho region, overlooking the serene Lima River Valley in northern Portugal. The estate encompasses a beautifully restored manor house with seven bedrooms, two independent studio apartments, and sweeping views across the valley's vineyards and terraced hillsides.

The property retains its original granite architecture and period character while offering all modern comforts. Guests enjoy exclusive use of the estate, including the private pool, chapel, wine cellar, and extensive gardens — a true immersion in the timeless rhythms of rural Portugal.

Location

Located in the Minho region of northern Portugal, the quinta sits within the Lima River Valley — a landscape of rolling hills, ancient vineyards, and medieval villages. The spa town of Ponte de Lima, one of Portugal's oldest, is just minutes away. Porto Airport is approximately 1 hour by car, and the Spanish border is within easy reach for day trips.
