Quinta da Boa Viagem is situated in a village approximatley 6 kilometres from the beautiful, old sailing port of Viana do Castelo in the Minho Region of Portugal.

The well known Portuguese discoverer Goncalo Ferreira de Villas Boas built a chapel, located adjacent to the property, which belongs to the "Quinta". It was dedicated to Nossa Senhora da Boa Viagem (Our Lady of the Good Journey) to protect him during his travels around the world.

His family still own the house and will be your amiable hosts.

The 2 cottages are situated in the former estate buildings, and have been converted to a very high standard. They are tastefully furnished and are very comfortable. Each cottage has two ensuite bedrooms and feature similar facilities. Wireless internet is available at Quinta da Boa Viagem.

There is a swimming pool in the grounds of the property for the use of all the guests. Alternatively, there are natural pools in the river that runs past the house.

A small 5 a side football area is available and also a children's play area to make the younger members stay a very special one.

All facilities are shared between the guests staying at the property.

The house stands on the lower slopes of Santa Luzia mountain and forms an ideal base for those who enjoy walking. Although, the house and gardens are really best enjoyed with a book and a glass of wine, sitting in the shade of a tree to the sound of running water from the nearby river.

From the gardens (or even from the swimming pool) guests may admire the enchanting view of the sea stretching away to the horizon.

"Quinta da Boa Viagem" also has one bedroom or three bedroom cottages with either twin beds or double beds.
