Vilar de Rei's House - Family and Friends Vacation Time! | Cottage in Ponte de Lima
5 Bedroom Cottage in Ponte de Lima
When you imagine a rural getaway, surrounded by wild plants, aromatic herbs, birds, rabbits and frogs, immersed in a comforting silence and in a quiet atmosphere, proper of typical villages of the north of Portugal, then this place was just made of you! A typical farm house inserted in lands formerly belonging to the Portuguese Crown, restored in full respect of its moth, with natural materials and techniques of 19th century. A hymn to the rural and authentic lifestyle!
This special property and its gardens were recently transformed by the founder of the International Garden Festival of Ponte de Lima and formerly responsible for the Natural Parks and Protected Areas of Portugal! Here, indigenous species and wild herbs predominate, especially the aromatic herbs, a passion of the owner ... Gardens, orchards and vegetable gardens in organic production mode are all around the place. All with exclusive use of animal manures and vegetable residues and production techniques eg from the use of chemicals, to keep it as authentic as possible in our modern and too fast days. There is a tank of water with frogs, which sing on hot days, birds singing every day and if you're lucky and quiet enough, some rabbits jumping in the fields ahead!
The house is currently a reference to many details of vernacular architecture in the Minho region. The rebuilding of the house was due to the use of natural materials, using different types of wood, clay and granite stone of the region. Red and blue oxides and whitening in replacement of inks, as well as lime to paint all the walls! All those materials were already used in the past in this farm house, and we made a point of using them again, as environmentally friendly and fully integrated in this ecological and relaxing rural atmosphere!
The main house has three bedrooms (each with a private bathroom), an open space with living room and fully equipped kitchen, and a dining room! The interiors are full of details, with lots of old agricultural tools, details of animals that existed at times on the farm, old tapestries handmade by grand grand mother Rosa, that kept the farm until 97 years old, books about the region, nature and wildlife, and so on!
Outdoors, enjoy family meals in the old barn house, do a barbecue, enjoy sunny days at the swimming pool, long walks along the village, or in the mythical Camino de Santiago de Compostela!
