The Casa de Sobrado Countryside House & The Region
The new luxury is the pause.
The true journey begins when we stop counting kilometers, or miles, and start counting moments.
Time, here, moves at a different pace. As you cross our gate, leave your watch behind and allow the tranquility of the village to welcome you. Every corner of our house was designed for you to simply be, unhurriedly.
Here, luxury is not ostentatious; it lies in the peace of the green mountains, the purity of the air, and the freedom of having no rush.
Designed for those who value exclusivity, our house offers the perfect balance between regenerative tranquility and contemporary comfort. Interiores that respect tradition, blending granitic stone walls with a minimalist and cozy design.
Open doors to the Minho region
Located just a few 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 valuable resource. That is why, at Casa de Sobrado Countryside House, the clock ticks at a different pace. We invite you to turn off your notifications and reconnect with what truly matters:
the leisure of taking care of yourself – Inhabiting every corner designed for your rest and rediscovering the pleasure of unhurried time.
The Region - An infinity of sensations to reveal
Step out and discover a territory where tradition pulses and nature remains untouched.
Vila Verde cannot be fully captured in a single glance; it reveals itself in countless layers of history and tradition.
We invite you to wander through a mosaic of experiences where every detail – from the meticulous embroidery to the ancestral stone – composes a scenery of endless beauty.
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 the hospitality of the people and the richness of the heritage create a permanent invitation to explore.
We have curated the best of the region for you.
We have prepared a detailed and personalized itinerary, designed to transform your stay into an absolute immersion into the soul of the Minho region. This careful selection of our favorite places is exclusively accessible to guests, and its practical details and maps will be provided to you at the moment of your check-in.
Welcome home. Welcome to your time.
The Sanctuary
The house's intention
We designed every corner with a clear purpose for your stay.
Outdoor well-being,
to be experienced
Your private oasis – The saltwater pool, gentler on the environment and on your skin, overlooking the green mountain landscape, is the ultimate invitation to refresh yourself, unhurriedly, under the Minho sun. From the house's garden to the bedrooms, every area is an invitation to the presence of relaxation.
Gathering and flavors, to share
Social spaces designed for memorable, unhurried meals. The porch and the patio are the perfect backdrops for long outdoor dinners and stargazing.
The Rest Sanctuary of Design and Comfort,
to disconnect
The first floor was conceived as our zone of stillness. A haven of disconnection with interiors designed for rest, where sleep is assured by 2 king-size beds and 2 twin beds, complemented by the quality of premium linens.
Art and Identity,
to contemplate
Architecture & Design
Let yourself be guided by the original paintings and illustrations that inhabit the walls – by 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.
