Quinta da Ramada

Recently renovated, Casa da Ramada can guarantee all comforts of modern life while preserving its rustic character. Originally a military lookout tower, later in the XVI century it grew to incorporate a cellar (both used for the renovation) and a small chapel. The renovation combines the building original style, by preserving its stone walls and wooden roof structure, with modern materials such as the steel perfectly integrated in its original architecture. In the same family for several generations that always cared to make it a pleasant and relaxing place, this country house has one suite and 2 bedrooms with shared bathroom, a kitchen, a dining room, a living room, a children's playroom/games room, and an outdoor pool overlooking the vineyards. It is furnished with 1950s furniture that is used to recreate the atmosphere of a bourgeois family of that period. Located in the Vizela River valley, 5 minutes walking distance from the river, in an area of leafy vegetation, the house is part of a wine producing farm and is surrounded by vineyards and a forest of oak, cork and walnut trees, which offers the chance of lovely walks in the surroundings.

It is a perfect place to stay if you wish to enjoy the countryside and have the chance to visit the Northwest region of Portugal, particularly the historical province of Minho, as it is conveniently located very close to several touristic reference towns such as Guimarães (World Heritage, 12 km away), Amarante (26 km away), Braga (34 km away), the main city Porto (World Heritage, 60 km away) and even the Alto Douro wine region, the oldest demarcated wine region in the world, which is about a 1-hour drive away. So please feel welcome to come and stay in this house and enjoy the vineyard landscape that is so typical of this region in the North of Portugal.
