introduction to Portugal

This farmstay accommodation in Portugal is a lovely group of buildings, and certified organic farm, that most "sweetly recommends itself unto the sense" the local Beira granite of manor and outbuildings is softened by a rampant camellia which lends swathes of colour when in flower.

Lovers of good organic wine have heard of our Quinta; it exports its prize- winning whites and rosés all over the world. What you probably won't have heard is that the first king o Portugal, D. Afonso Henriques did battle nearby, broke a leg and was forced to stay at his uncle's place.

It later passed to the hands of The Order of Malta; hence the cross above the main entrance. Wander down to the river and a Roman Bridge, through the vineyards and orchards.
