Further details for this vacation chateau / country house rental in Minho & Costa Verde, Portugal

The Region: Alto Minho has an enormous array of choices to give: beaches (blue and golden flags), golf, tennis, swimming pools, spas, an excellent gastronomy, a very animated ambiance, fishing and hunting, water sports, trekking, historic villages, monuments, gardens, tourist circuits and a very contagious folk culture. Come to discover the Province of the Minho, land of wine and folklore. And also, of castles, monasteries and churches that speaks of history, of villages full of monuments. Come to find Viana Castelo and the Lima River. Come to live the joy of the colourful popular parties.

The Farm: Originally built in 1892, Bento Novo was recently renovated to more comfortably accommodate our guests, but the beautiful characteristics of its buildings have been preserved. The contrast of schist and granite that can be found throughout the property emphasizes the harmony that exists between what nature has provided and man has embellished. Bento Novo’s relaxing quiet atmosphere almost makes you forget how close you are to all the action that is happening in the surrounding area. So if you are looking for a relaxing get away or want to come and discover the Alto-Minho region’s rich natural and historical heritage and experience its sea side attractions, we hope you will make us a part of your unforgettable vacation.

Golf: There are golf facilities 20 km away, in Ponte de Lima.

Endroit parfait

LoisRoux Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Review Submitted: October 6, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
C’est l’endroit parfait pour passer des beaux jours de repos, en profitant de la tranquillité de la campagne et de l’atmosphère unique du Nord du Portugal. La maison est très belle et pittoresque (les jardins sont magnifiques) et l'accueil était parfait.

Avec une localisation très favorable : Au cœur de la campagne, et proche de la belle ville de Viana do Castelo, j’y recommande un séjour à tous qui aiment être bien accueilli et qui aiment la tradition. C’est le choix idéal pour connaître le nord du Portugal (il ne faut surtout pas rater la gastronomie de la région).

An Ideal Location

Review Submitted: October 6, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009
We had a group of 10 adults who used Bento Novo as their base for a week of history, food and wine exploring in Northern Portugal. It could not have been a better location. The house is excellent! The location is close to interesting towns as well as auto routes if you wish to venture a bit further. And then there are the wonderful grounds! Each day our group could simply wander a bit after a day of touring and before we began to prepare dinner. A very relaxing place to stay!

Since we knew we would get going early each morning we elected to have breakfast provided for us. Excellent decision.

Elisabeta and Paulo were great help in providing some directions and ideas on directions and place to try.

We look forward to visiting again.

Bento Novo House it is an amazing place to stay, ideal for families. They have really fantastic gardens, a stone tank with running water perfect for children to have bath, a huge kitchen where guests can prepare their meals, barbecues, free wireless internet, you must try it.
Besides all that, the owner are very nice, it is close to the beaches, and there are a lot of restaurants and places to visit nearby.
We really enjoyed our vacations there!
