Zauberhafter Palast für unsere Traumhochzeit

Lieber Lourenco, liebe Rita, lieber Mateus, Ihr seid wundervoll! Eigentlich hatten wir nur einen zauberhaften Ort für unsere Traumhochzeit gesucht. Den haben wir hier zweifelsfrei gefunden. Gratis dazu gab es noch 600 Jahre portugiesische und Weltgeschichte. Tief traurig, diesen Ort verlassen zu müssen, werden wir aber immer voller Glück an die lieben Menschen zurückdenken, die unsere Träume wahr werden ließen. Alles Liebe Jacqueline, Sven und Zsuzsa aus Berlin

Portuguese palace

A beautiful old mansion, very atmospheric. We enjoyed the garden, pool and local setting with horses, chickens, ducks, fresh fruit and vines. Great days out to waterfalls, beaches and pretty towns nearby.

A fantastic property and a wonderful host

This place is superb. A beautiful miniature palace, hundreds of years old, with stunning gardens and a fascinating history. Our host was attentive and friendly, and the surrounding area has it all, with delightful towns on the river and a stunning beach just 15 minutes away. We can’t wait to return.

About the host

Hosted by Lourenço von Almada

My name is Lourenço de Almada and i am natural of this great Minho mansion in Lanheses - Viana do Castelo. As a representative and heir of one of the most noble and ancient families of Portugal, I had early contact with the Portuguese heritage, its traditions, which are my passion of study and visit, here and abroad. Now I am pleased to put this knowledge at your disposal, being one of them the "art of good hospitality."
