Quinta da Bouça d’Arques - Bed & Breakfast in Minho
Rua Abreu Teixeira 333
Vila de Punhe, 4905-641 Viana do Castelo, Minho
Northern Portugal,
Portogallo
In the grounds of the grand 300-year-old manor are these modern apartments; a stunning blend of contemporary architecture and tradition. Old stone walls, contemporary glass panels and modern art personify a minimalist chic. Splashes of colour contrast with dark antiques, striped silks hang above fine old beds, and neutral colours blend with beams, granite, terracotta and painted shutters.
Baskets, blankets, ceramics and tall glass vases filled with petals add character; bathrooms have deep baths and hand-painted tiles. A woollen cushion on a carved bench, burning incense, a silk-clad mannequin - all contribute to the serenity of this place. Start the day with breakfast delivered to your terrace: hams, cheeses, fresh bread and pastries, homemade jams.
Borrow bikes, stroll vineyards and woodlands, rest on wooden sun loungers by the pool. For dinner, the chef can serve a special 3-course meal at the main house for groups of eight or more; you can drive 10 minutes to good restaurants, or request a pre-cooked meal to heat up in your cottage.
