An imposing manor house whose origins date back to the 16th century, it was completely transformed in the 18th century and enlarged with a central courtyard and a porch of great architectural beauty.

A long avenue lined with centuries-old trees leads to a grand armoured gate and high walls, creating a fortress of silence and tranquillity. Owned since 1818 by the Counts of Almada, the Paço de Lanheses opened its doors to Historic Housing Tourism in the last decade of the last century.  

The family, always present, guarantees a warm welcome in a stately atmosphere accompanied by the splendour that can be breathed in every room you visit. The rooms are spacious with antique furniture that takes you back in time.

The privileged location between the medieval town of Ponte de Lima and the beautiful city of Viana do Castelo offers its guests a number of walking or horse-riding routes along the eco-trails of the Lima Valley, through the Serra d'Arga or to discover the wild beaches of Canto Marinho or Mariana and the heritage of the Minho region.
