Ponte de Lima hotels

Pros: This beautiful manor house is like stepping into another time. We knew from the description not to expect the amenities of a fancy hotel. It operates more like a B&B, but one furnished with exquisite antiques. Breakfast was very good, and other meals can be provided when requested in advance. Evening meals are beautifully served and shared with other guests in a lovely old dining room. The location is quiet and relaxing with walking paths and shady retreats for sipping a glass of the nice wine produced on site while enjoying the stunning views. The staff is small but friendly and helpful. The Count is friendly, gracious, and attentive to his guests. The wonderful old city of Ponte de Lima, only a short drive away, is a fun place to visit and not nearly as crowded as many of Portugal's medieval cities. I would definitely stay here again.

Pros: The owner made a point of meeting us and giving a tour of his amazing house..a lovely pool and lots of animals to interact with...

Cons: Road from the villa is tricky

Pros: Breakfast was set in an elegant dining room. It was a traditional Portuguese breakfast with freshly squeezed Orange Juice from the garden.

Pros: Room had a fabulous view. Antique furniture was a bonus

Cons: Bed was very squeaky! Shower needed upgrading. Bath slow to fill. No wi fi in bedroom ( due I think to very thick granite walls )

Pros: Everything else

Cons: Breakfast could be better

Pros: The palace is extremely well restored and surrounded by beautiful scenery. It’s very tranquil and has the added bonus of a swimming pool with views to die for, agricultural fields and farm animals which the kids love, a creek, a few ponds and a chestnut grove. The owners were very welcoming. The breakfast is delicious. The bedrooms and bathrooms are comfortable and traditional and in keep with the palace. No need for modern luxuries and TVs when you are in such a place! Ponte de Lima is only 10 minutes away. We will definitely come back one day!!

Pros: Beautiful property in a stunning setting with THE most helpful people around us. Could not have asked for anything more.

Pros: Beautiful historic manor house with extensive gardens. We were greeted by the Count whose family has owned this property for centuries. He took us, and a group of walkers who arrive on the same day,on a tour of the house and hosted us for a dinner in his dinig room.
