Yours from first light to the last song.

The estate

A north-facing ridge that holds the light late.

Lomba fria means cold ridge, and it earns the name: the sun arrives later and leaves later, and in June there is still light on the terrace at half past nine. It is why the family planted here, and it is why photographers like the house.

The day

One day, start to finish.

11.00

The climb

The track runs three kilometres up through the vines. Whoever arrives early helps lay the tables.

13.00

The courtyard

Lunch in the shade of the colonnade. Nobody is dressed for anything yet.

16.30

The garden

The ceremony is under the plane trees, or inside if it rains. It rains three times a year.

19.30

The river

The valley turns orange for twenty minutes. This is when everyone disappears to take photographs.

21.30

The cellar

Dinner between the casks, twelve degrees cooler than outside. The music stops when you say so.

The spaces

Four places, and the day passes through all of them.

Drag sideways, or keep scrolling.

The terrace

120 seated

Above the terraces, facing the river. Canopy if you need one.

The glasshouse

60 seated

Glass and iron, 1911. This is where dinner goes when the weather says so.

The lower garden

200 standing

For the ceremony, and for the drinks that follow it.

The camellia walk

Passage

Camellias both sides, planted in 1890. It comes out at the courtyard.

Seventeen rooms between the house and the keeper's cottage, sleeping thirty-four.

The estate is yours from three on the Friday until eleven on the Sunday.

Come and see it, ideally on a Sunday morning.

We show you the house slowly and nobody sells you anything. It is ninety minutes from Porto airport, and the last half hour is the best part of the drive.
