Set amidst green hills and ancient vineyards, Vinte-Quinta da Boavista is an intimate retreat in the north of Portugal. Holidays here are all about togetherness, outdoor living in nature, and the luxury of simplicity. This carefully restored 15th-century quinta seamlessly blends rural living and modern comfort, with space, privacy, and a generous dose of hospitality.

The vast 13-hectare estate is a mosaic of olive groves, vineyards, fruit trees, and a large landscaped park with walking trails and even an amphitheatre. There are six beautifully appointed holiday homes (sleeping 2-5), each with its style and plenty of comfort, ideal for couples or families. On site, relax in the sauna, take a dip in the pool overlooking the countryside, read a book under a pergola, or gather around the fire in the outdoor lounge.

Eating here is a feast: breakfast in the fabulous dining room with local delicacies, a picnic at sunset among the olive trees, or a dinner on the terrace, prepared with home-grown ingredients. There is an extensive Vinte menu with twenty dishes, room service, and the opportunity to get started on the OFYR grill yourself with products from the quinta. And then, of course, there is the wine: made from 100% Portuguese grapes, produced in-house and lovingly served in the bar, or buy a bottle for home in the online store. Everything revolves around quality, origin, and taste.

Vinte-Quinta da Boavista is a true paradise for children. Think of a mini-house to play and sleep in, a hut in the trees, bicycles, a sports field, a vegetable garden, cookie baking workshops, or just endlessly wandering around. There is space, freedom, and adventure!

The region around the estate is just as rich in discoveries. Walk directly from the gate on one of the twenty marked routes, explore the Peneda-Gerês nature park, or go cycling along the river. Charming towns like Braga are just around the corner, charming Viana do Castelo, and the quiet beaches of the Costa Verde are only half an hour away. Here you will experience the best of Northern Portugal: authentic and surprisingly versatile.
