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.
