Set amidst 13 acres of vineyards producing the famous vinho verde,
this a superb example of a carefully renovated "Minhota" home.
Being part of a large estate owned by the same family for over 150 years,
this is truly a peaceful retreat with great views and the agricultural
beauty of the Minho region.
The restoration work, both in and outside, has been made in the full respect of
old structures, like the terracotta on the floors and the costly chestnut wood
of the roof-beams and of the ceilings.
The villa is surrounded by a private garden with a century-old olive tree
under which you can read a good book in fresh air or enjoy a glass of the
wine produced in the estate.
The interior has been comfortably furnished with a range of carefully chosen
furnishings, creating a lovely atmosphere. The living room opens onto
the pool area and barbecue terrace with table and chairs perfect for al-fresco meals.

Ponte de Lima - with it's XI century roman bridge, main square, cathedral, coffee bars,
superb restaurants and shops, Peneda Geres National Park, Viana do Castelo historic centre
and stunning sandy beaches, Barcelos market town, Braga and Guimaraes World Heritage Site.
