A Casa de Sobrado Countryside House & Region

The new luxury is the pause.
True travel begins when we stop counting miles and start counting moments.

Time here has a different rhythm. As you cross our gates, leave your watch behind and allow the village's tranquility to welcome you. Every corner of our house was designed for you to simply be, and to linger.

Here, luxury is not ostentatious; it lives in the stillness of the mountain green, the purity of the air, and the freedom of being unhurried. Designed for those who value exclusivity, our house offers the perfect balance between regenerative peace and contemporary comfort– interiors that respect tradition, merging granitic stone walls with a minimalist and cozy design.

Open doors to Minho region:

Located just minutes from the center of Vila Verde and Braga, and at the gateway to the Peneda-Gerês National Park, we are the ideal starting point to explore the North of Portugal, while always remaining the safe haven you wish to return to at the end of the day.

We believe that time is today’s most precious resource. That is why, at Casa de Sobrado Countryside House, the clock ticks to a different beat. We invite you to turn off your notifications and reconnect with what truly matters: the "vagar" of taking care of yourself – inhabiting every corner designed for your rest and rediscovering the pleasure of unhurried time.

Let curiosity guide you and find, in every corner, a new reason to fall in love with this land, exploring a vast territory of memories where local hospitality and rich heritage create a permanent invitation to explore.

The Intent of the House
Every corner has been designed with a clear purpose for your stay:

Outdoor Well-being, to experience: Your private oasis — The saltwater pool, kinder to the environment and your skin, overlooking the green mountain landscape, is the ultimate invitation to refresh yourself, unhurried, under the Minho sun. From the garden to the bedrooms, every area invites you to a state of relaxation.

Gathering and Flavors, to share: Living spaces designed for memorable, lingering meals. The porch and patio are the perfect stages for long alfresco dinners and stargazing. For cooler days, enjoy the indoor dining area. Fully equipped open-plan kitchen (Nespresso Neo included), with a garden barbecue and a spacious living room with a 50” Smart TV. Comfort is guaranteed in every season with a wood-burning stove and air conditioning on the ground floor, plus an indoor Winter Garden and a panoramic balcony.

The Restful Haven of Design and Comfort, to disconnect: The first floor was conceived as our zone of stillness. A haven for disconnection with interiors designed for rest, where sleep is assured by 2 king-size beds, 2 single beds, and premium quality linens. With 3 spacious bedrooms, the villa accommodates up to 8 people (including 2 extra beds). Bathrooms: 1 full ensuite with a bathtub, 1 full with a shower, and 1 guest toilet on the ground floor.

Art and Identity, to contemplate: Let yourself be guided by the original paintings and illustrations on our walls – by artists Olga Cardoso Pinto and Nuno Pinto – and by the windows that frame the green landscape of our mountains. Here, your gaze finds room to stretch.

Convenience: Private parking for 2 vehicles.

Gastronomy
The taste of the territory

Tasting: The Legacy of Vinho Verde. Explore the unique freshness of regional wines at local producers where the passion for the vineyard spans generations. At the table, make time for what is authentic. Be won over by the vigor of a Pica no Chão and the conventual sweetness of Abade de Priscos pudding — gastronomic treasures that pair perfectly with Vinhos Verdes.
