This 17th century house has belonged to the same family for generations and it is located in São Cristovão do Selho, a village 6 kms away from Guimarães.

The house as it stands today was constructed in the 17th century by the ancestors of today’s residents. The interior is brimming with antique furniture and curios – even its ceilings are a delight to behold, some of them beautifully painted. The floors are not to be missed either, with their hand-woven ‘Arraiolos’18th century rugs.

The delightful manor house is surrounded by quiet forests where guests can enjoy a pleasant day, finding here and there natural fountains and the nearby river offers good fishing and pleasant walking opportunities along its banks.
