About this villa rental
Quinta do Bento Novo is located in the North of Portugal, near the Atlantic Coast. The house has a capacity of 18+ people, with 7 double rooms, several spacious living rooms, a large kitchen that is fully equipped and can easily accommodate 18 people. The centennial house has been recently remodeled, so you will be able to enjoy the beautiful characteristic architecture and also feel the comfort of modern houses (central heating, spacious bedrooms with private bathrooms). You will also enjoy the 40000 square meters of lands and beautiful gardens: you will be amazed by the enormous variety of plants, trees and flowers of the gardens, and take pleasure of the surrounding mountains and the stream that flows at the end of the property. The house is located in the small village of Perre, only 7 km away from Viana do Castelo, one of the most beautiful cities of Portugal, with a lot of history and culture to offer. The high quality Atlantic Beaches are only 8 km away.

The Farm: Originally built in 1892, Bento Novo was recently renovated to more comfortably accommodate our guests, but the beautiful characteristics of its buildings have been preserved.

So if you are looking for a relaxing get away or want to come and discover the Alto-Minho region’s rich natural and historical heritage and experience its sea side attractions, we hope you will make us a part of your unforgettable vacation.

We have a large family consisting of married couples and some with children and so we offered it is an open house to arrive and depart when you want over the three weeks that we hired the property in August and it did not disappoint. A 50 minute taxi ride from Porto we spent the first two weeks just using Ubers to get into Viana which is about a 10 minute drive away and the amazing beaches which straddle each side of the town, the final week we did hire a car. The property is immense with beautiful shaded areas to relax and read in and fruit orchards , our Grandsons especially enjoyed picking the oranges and making orange juice , it even has a mini football pitch . The kitchen is really well stocked and we loved cooking most nights and BBQ the amazing range of fresh fish you will find in the local supermarkets. My treat every morning was walking over to the local village which took just over 20 mins and buying the freshest breads and cakes as well as enjoying a fab coffee. The swimming pool was great fun and is not deep so really safe for young children and is fed by a complex of fresh waterpipes and features. Bedrooms are basic as you would expect in a old stone built house but everything was clean and working , I even had my own office to do some work I needed to do. The owner Paulo spoke great English and was really helpful with anything we needed , to sum up we had an amazing family holiday in an undiscovered part of Europe.

This is a lovely home with amazing grounds. We traveled with 6 other couples (and one 12 year old and one 5 month old). The house was perfectly laid out for us and everyone loved exploring the gardens and orchards. We had tomatoes, peppers, greens, citrus fruits, grapes, and more to eat from the property every day. The kitchen was perfect for us to all gather while some cooked and others visited. And the morning light at the front of the house made a wonderful spot for us to have coffee on the stone terrace. The house is very well located for getting to many nearby villages (Barcelos, Viana do Castelo, Ponte de Lima, Porto). We were also able to do a day tour to the Douro Valley and a day trip to Northern Spain). The host, Paulo, and housekeeper, Lourdes, were both lovely and attended to everything we needed. We are very happy we stayed at Quinta Bento Novo.
