About this property

Vila Franca House, former Mother House of the centenary Quinta de Vila Franca

  • Casa de Vila Franca is the old mother house of the centenary (1892) Quinta de Vila Franca. Inheritance of Carlos Silva and Conceição Teixeira, former owners, is now owned by the Silva Ferreira family, who recently decided to make it available to welcome guests.
    The house offers a privileged view of the magnificent landscape of the river Tâmega and the vineyards of the property, providing the modest and calm of the rural territories of the Minho region.
    It is a place that provides comfort, serenity, tranquility and rest conditions to enjoy nature. Simultaneously, the house is located about an hour from the main urban centers of the northern region (such as Porto, Braga, Guimarães, Vila Real or Chaves), with good access. It is within the Vinho Verde Demarcated Region and only about fifty kilometers from the Alto Douro Wine Region, the oldest wine region in the world and classified by UNESCO as an Intangible World Heritage Site.
    Guests have at their disposal exclusively an excellent pool with natural lawn and a garden between the house and the gate of the property.
    It is important to highlight the rich fauna and flora in the property and in the surroundings. The Tâmega River and the mouth of the Louredo River, about a hundred meters from the house, also reinforce the beauty of the Quinta and the views of the house. Also noteworthy are the old levadas of the irrigation system of the Quinta and the wine mills built in granite stones, as well as the vineyards and the magnificent walking paths they offer.
    The house offers a fully equipped kitchen, a comfortable living room, 3 bedrooms, all with private bathroom and a service bathroom. It also has cable TV and internet.
