From Amarante you can travel relatively quickly, mostly by motorway, to Oporto; the Douro Valley and the port wine making region are also close at hand. There is a golf course 6km away from the house. Please note that the owner of the manor house does not stay in the manor house when the buildings are occupied by Portuguese Affair clients but a housekeeper does, and you can arrange domestic services with her for a fee paid locally.
Details of Accommodation
The accommodation is tastefully decorated with 18th and 19th Century antiques and is divided between three separate buildings grouped around the courtyard. The first of these is called the Main House. On the ground floor of this is a sitting room, with comfortable seating for four, a TV and a fireplace; off this room is a twin bedroom with its own bathroom/wc, and a double bedroom with its own bathroom/wc. Stairs rise to the first floor where there are two double bedrooms, each with its own bathroom/wc; these two bedrooms share a covered terrace overlooking the mountains.
The main house is linked to the Guest’s Cottage by a covered walkway. Here there are two twin bedrooms each with its own bathroom/wc; one of these bedrooms has a two seater sofa and a child’s bed as well.
The kitchen is in a separate building across the courtyard; it has fitted cupboards, a microwave as well as an ordinary oven, a dishwasher and a table to seat 4; there is also a table to seat 10 out on the covered terrace. Covered parking is on the opposite side of the courtyard and next to it is a utility room with washing machine.
Outside are some lovely ornamental water features contained within local carved stone, and a very large swimming pool with Roman steps, which is 20m x 7m. The garden is spacious with lawn, pear trees, orange trees, vines, kiwis, hydrangeas, and roses and with wonderful views of the countryside.
Outside July and August, groups of 8 or less can rent the Main House only with the guest’s cottage excluded, at reduced rates; in this instance the guest’s cottage remains empty.
