Casa de Santo António de Britiande is situated in the outskirts of the famous Douro Valley in Britiande itself, a village frequently featured in medieval documents. It is believed that the front of the house was built in the 16th century. The house has a 17th century adjoining chapel containing remarkable panels of “azulejos” (tiles), a nostalgic altar and a valuable ceiling in gilt carved wood. This manor house still keeps its memories of being a place of rest for the monks of Ferreirim Convent (1,5km).
An atmosphere of quietness allows guests a timeless experience. Vine terraces, picturesque villages, traversed by centuries of traditions have shaped the unique beauty of this region and its charming culture.
An inviting swimming pool and pleasant cycling routes are some of the leisure opportunities at the guests’ disposal.
