About this property

Casa do Lagar is a rustic property that allows guests to feel as if they have escaped from it all as it is nestled in a quiet valley surrounded by fields and vineyards with a stream running alongside the house. There are pleasant walks from the front door and guests are more likely to see an ox and cart come down the lane than another car. Yet it is perfectly situated for exploring the Minho region and is just 10 minutes' drive from lovely Ponte de Lima with its restaurants, cafes and many activities (canoeing, cycling, gardens, river beaches, market).

Wow what an amazing sanctuary.

A very hot week but the mill stayed cool all the time. The pool was great for cooling off, and sunbathing around. The drive in and out is interesting, the bridge is very tight with a larger car. Directions from host were perfect. The surrounding area had plenty to do, one week barely scratched the surface.

Loved The Mill

We have just returned from a 10 day stay at The Mill. Myself and my husband stayed for the full 10 days and our daughter & her boyfriend joined us for a week. The Mill is stunning. The pictures do not give it justice. We were completely blown away by it. The house is huge and had everything you need from towels to salt and pepper. We cooked most nights as we love to stay in secluded, quirky places, explore during the day then come back and cook. And it felt like coming home every time we returned. We had a barbecue one night, sat outside in the sun with the river and the wildlife. Definitely recommend. And then we have the huge pool area. Where we spent many happy hours. Swimming, sunbathing, talking, laughing and listening to music. So if you want seclusion but close enough to explore by car, this is the place to be. We loved it!

About the host

Hosted by Lucy and Darren Welch

We are an English family with two children. Now 16 and 13, they have grown up having holidays all year round at Casa do Lagar. Family and friends have enjoyed the mill for years. Having returned to the UK after years living overseas, we have now decided to share the mill with guests.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the Ponte de Lima area while on holiday when the children were still babies. The region has so much to offer: long sandy beaches, the national park, canoeing or swimming in the rivers as well as ancient towns with plenty of fiestas. And Ponte de Lima itself is idyllic with the river running under the Roman bridge, the old square and excellent restaurants. Ponte de Lima is also an ideal base for exploring the whole region as it is centrally placed with easy access to beaches, the national park, down to Porto or up into Spain.

What makes this property unique

It was important to us to find somewhere close to Ponte de Lima and yet we also wanted to feel as if we had escaped from it all. As soon as we saw Casa do Lagar we knew we had found the ideal property. It is in a very peaceful spot, nestled in a quiet valley surrounded by trees and fields. All we hear is the soft babble of the stream. And yet we are just 10 minutes from Ponte de Lima and the motorways so it is easy to get around the region. Meanwhile the children are so busy playing in the stream, the surrounding woods and the pool that they are happy not to go anywhere at all!
