Casa de Abbades: Where History and Nature Embrace the Soul of Northern Portugal

In the verdant heart of Northern Portugal, just 8 km from the historic and enchanting Ponte de Lima, a treasure hides that goes far beyond simple rural accommodation. Casa de Abbades is an invitation to experience the authentic essence of Minho.

Our historic 17th-century manor house, a peaceful retreat with a swimming pool and unparalleled charm, offers accommodations that tell stories:

'A Casa do Manel' and 'A Casa da Rita': Two spacious apartments that were once home to our caretakers, now transformed into spaces of comfort and tradition.

The old Alambique: A cosy cottage with its own private garden, where the past merges with intimacy and tranquillity.

We invite you to get lost in our flourishing gardens, in our cultivated fields and groves, to cool off in the swimming pool under the Portuguese sun, or to discover the serenity of our private Chapel, dedicated to Nossa Senhora da Vitória, and the majesty of the Main House. Every corner of Casa de Abbades has been designed for enjoyment, relaxation, and the creation of memories.

But Casa de Abbades is also the perfect base for exploring the rich culture and stunning landscapes of Minho. We offer suggested itineraries for our guests to discover historic cities such as Viana do Castelo, Braga, Guimarães, or Porto. And, of course, you cannot leave without delighting in the exquisite Minho gastronomy: from the traditional 'sarrabulho', "bacalhau" (codfish), to 'rojões', in the region's best restaurants.

If you seek light, colour, and tradition, our fairs, village festivals, and pilgrimages await you to immerse yourself in authentic Portuguese joy.

At Casa de Abbades, every stay is a promise of unforgettable memories with family and friends. It is not just accommodation; it is an experience, an immersion into the essence of Northern Portugal.

We invite you to discover it. Casa de Abbades awaits you to write your next great story in quality rural tourism!
