    The setting of the property is really beautiful, wondering around the grounds of the house is wonderful, with its hidden delights of ancient dolmens and menhir. All the nature surrounding you is really magical and the house itself is beautifully...

Property information

Nowadays Casa do Governador is a property with 3 “Houses”: 6-bedroom Villa - Casa Original (Original House), 5-bedroom Villa - Dourada (Golden) and 1-bedroom Villa - Casa dos caseiros. The 28acres property is located in an ecological reserve area, of which 5acres are vineyards. In the 19th century, our 6-bedroom Villa was used as an infirmary and quarantine place for the old friars of Convento do Espinheiro, where, according to the legend, vines were seeded and wine was produced by the friars. In 2002 our 5-bedroom Villa was used as a family home presenting an unusual architecture and in 2020 it was rebuilt. Each room has a personalized design, bringing us back to the last century, but with contemporary details. Our 1-bedroom - Casa dos caseiros (as its name implies, was the home of those responsible for the property when the owners were absent) - consists of a living room, a kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom. All divisions are equipped with technology to meet the visitor's need and guarantee their comfort.
