Quinta Do Bravio

Outstanding. Wonderful place, so very comfortable in every respect. The hosts Madalena and António could not do enough to make us feel welcome and comfortable. They were ever so generous and helpful on all levels, all with a lovely light spirit. We ended up spending a few months at the Quinta , which is the most idyllic place. We could not fault it in anyway. It was one of the most beautiful experiences and we would go back there every time on any visit to Portugal.

History, style, family-owned what's not to like? In addition to lots of thought and care that made our stay a delight. I wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else in the area. This is an elegant heritage home, our very large bedroom, in the main house had a fairy-tale quality, and was elegant and beautifully restored. Our suite also included a small kitchen and modern shower-room. The house is lovely and Antonio is a great host who welcomed us with a bottle of wine and a bowl of fresh fruit in our room. Make sure you see the family chapel and walk around the property. We stayed four days, going out all day and coming back to this lovely sanctuary every evening. It was a perfect stay. The quinta is 25 mins from both Ponte de Lima and Viana do Castillo so perfect for touring the wine areas along the river. If you turn left outside the property and drive for 5 minutes you can walk in a Parque de Valinhas. Have a good stay.

Wonderfully friendly hosts n cosy comfortable place full of charm. In a vineyard in an old farm mansion complete with it’s own chapel
