Paço de Calheiros

Ponte Lima - Minho - Douro & North Portugal

Manor House

Number of rooms: 15

This wonderfully located 17th century manor house is owned by a real Count, no less, and has been in his family’s hands since its inception. Indeed, the feeling of tradition and heritage here is palpable, yet the atmosphere is by no means stuffy or aristocratic - the Count himself, for example, will proudly show guests around his family home. The vistas it affords from its position high above the Lima valley are marvellous and certainly, the views of the vineyards and gardens outside the terrace are hard to beat. Yet Calheiros has so much more to offer than fine panoramas. The building itself is one of the most imposing and elegant in the region and just getting there is by way of a fine entrance with its illustrious gateway, beautiful tree-lined drive and stone fountain. The rooms themselves are excellent, whilst the interior is notable for its fine pieces of antique furniture and paintings. Horse riding can be arranged at the property and those interested in the art of the vine can indulge in winetasting or visiting the House’s own vineyards.

ll	Tips & Getting There

How to Get There: From Porto Airport: Take the motorway A3 to Braga/Valenca. After 80 km. leave the motoway at the junction 11, signposted Ponte da Barca/Ponte de Lima/Arcos de Valdevez. After paying the toll, turn right to Ponte de Lima. After 2 km. you will come to a roundabout, continue straight on and 1.5 km. after you will come to a set of traffic lights. Turn right to Viana do Castelo and 500 m after you will come to a second set of lights just before the bridge. Continue straight, crossing the Lima river. Upon reaching the other side of the river, turn right, after the gas station, on to the north bank road to Arcos de Valdevez and Valenca. After 1 km. take the right hand fork towards Arcos de Valdevez. Continue along this road for 4 km. and turn left into the road signposted Calheiros. This turning is located opposite a restaurant called Pombinha. Follow this narrow road up the hill for 2 km, and you will find the tall entrance gates and driveway to the house on your right hand side.
