Ponte de Lima welcomes many visitors on the day before Corpus Christy when there is a tradition over three hundred years old of parading a bull through the town and on the beach.

In September, the “New Fairs” bring even more visitors and is one of the most famous festivities in the north. Approximately 25 kilometers west of Ponte de Lima lies Viana do Castelo, an interesting town rich in history and tradition.

Casa do Pinheiro was constructed by the end of the 18th century and suffered some changes through the years but always maintaining the same style and main features of the typical Minho construction style.

In 2000 the house was partially destroyed by a violent fire which reduced it to ruins.
A few years later the owners started its reconstruction respecting its details and original features while equipping it with all modern commodities and making it suitable to receive guests.

Casa do Pinheiro has three twin bedrooms and four double bedrooms. All bedrooms have private bathroom with heater towel rail, central heating and are elegantly furnished.

On the lower floor there is one twin bedroom with doors opening to the garden. Beds in this bedroom are not suitable for tall people. There are also one twin and one double bedroom with doors intercommunicating to a small private lounge with fireplace. Both bedrooms have access to a balcony.

The lounge at Casa do Pinheiro has satellite television, fireplace and radio. There is also a games table in the living room.

The swimming pool is set in the house’s garden which has a few fruit trees providing a pleasant shade during warmer days.
Pool’s dimensions are 8 by 4 meters with depth varying from 1 to 2,10 meters.

Meals may be served upon request.
