Vinte-Quinta da Boavista

Twelve acres of vineyard surround Quinta da Boavista's manor on Rua de Parada, three kilometres from Ponte de Lima's riverside centre in the Lima Valley — a quiet base for families or groups wanting space rather than a hotel corridor.

The estate keeps a working garden and outdoor pool alongside tennis and badminton courts, with bicycles for the flat valley roads into town. Breakfast can be taken in-room or on the terrace facing the mountains.

Canoeing and fishing spots line the nearby Lima river, reachable within minutes by the property's own shuttle.
