Casa de Sezim’s interior has captured a style of simple elegance with its exquisitely decorated bedrooms, some furnished with four poster beds. Within its impressive sitting rooms hang early 19th century panoramic wallpapers depicting scenes from both the old and new world of America. Wine production at Sezim dates back to at least 1930, with the old winemaking equipment still to be seen on the grounds. Nowadays, the Vinho Verde produced here is of prize winning category.

Visitors to Casa das Torres are met by a lofty gateway, which invites you into the spacious courtyard. This manor is a fine example of 18th Century architecture during the reign of King D. João V. Note the lovely Baroque details around each window. Visitors here will be treated to a splendid view of the lavish green countryside of the Alto-Minho.
