The Experience
If you take the main house and both studio apartments your group will have free rein inside and out, including stunning gardens, woodland, an orchard and veggie plot (help yourself), a lake, a big dining terrace, indoor heated pool and outdoor saltwater pool. There’s also the possibility to hire a live-in chef who can whip up delicious meals in the huge, smart kitchen.
Positioned in a deeply rural location, it’s ideal for groups to come together and celebrate special occasions, seek refuge and take time away from hectic lives. You are offered a guided tour of the manor house rooms and you can dine on the outside terrace before retreating to calming en suite bedrooms. The studios are completely self-sufficient for those who want their own space.
Visit Ponte de Lima (11km) for a meal out or a round of golf, drive to the coast (37km) for surfing, paddle boarding and boat trips, return to deep peace and serenity.

Introducing
Francisca Campos
Owner Rebecca splits her time between London and Porto. The family have owned the house since 2002 and they undertook a significant and sympathetic renovation in 2021, retaining the old bones of the property whilst modernising it for a comfortable stay. You're looked after by friendly and knowledgable manager Francisca.
Surrounded by gardens (romantic and wild), the stunning historic house captures our attention. With an outdoor salty pool, you can relax and enjoy a beautiful view. You will have a stay that is attentive to details, welcoming and comfortable, integrated into nature and based on sustainability. You will have a special and unique time!
