Casa Santa Margarida Overview
Casa Santa Margarida is a recently restored cottage located in the grounds of a fifty acre farming estate south of the River Lima in the Minho region of Northern Portugal.

Also in the grounds of the estate, is a 17th Century Manor House with its own private chapel and two small cottages adjoining, all in beautifully maintained grounds.

This rural practices have changed little over the years, and traditional farming methods are still to be seen.

The terraced hillsides are planted with maize and vines creating a glorious patchwork quilt. Pretty granite built houses huddle together in small hamlets presided over by grand Manor Houses and beautiful whitewashed Churches.

To the west of the property is the Atlantic Ocean with golden beaches, spectacular sunsets and very few people.

Accommodation
Casa de Santa Margarida is a single storey granite cottage with a small garden planted with hydrangeas and an orange tree providing natural shade.

There is a patio with garden furniture and views of the tennis court.

The interior of the cottage has been carefully furnished in traditional style creating a comfortable and relaxed environment.

There is an open plan sitting/dining room with television, a double sofa bed and a dining table seating up to seven people. French doors open onto the patio.

The country style kitchen, with traditional bread oven, is fully equipped with a breakfast table, microwave, fridge freezer and dishwasher.

There is a double bedroom, twin bedroom and a bathroom. There is also a twin bedroom with ensuite bathroom.

There is a separate laundry room with washing machine and ironing facilities. The cottage benefits from full central heating.

Outside
In the grounds there is a tennis court, swimming pool (15 m x 7 m) with changing facilities, sun loungers and umbrellas.

These facilities are shared with the guests staying in the other cottages adjoining the Manor House.

Location
Ten kilometres north of Santa Margarida is the lovely old sailing port of Viana do Castelo with cobbled streets, a medieval square and magnificent merchant houses. It is an excellent place to sample the locally caught fish accompanied by the famous Vinho Verde, a light semi sparkling wine.

Approximately one hour away is the only National Park, Peneda Geres in Portugal, with its granite mountains stretching across to Spain. Reaching heights of 4000 feet, it is fantastic walking country with far reaching views to the ocean and Spain.

Other sight seeing excursions include the walled town of Valenca and on to Vigo, Baiona and Santiago de Compostela in Spain.  Also the Portuguese cities of Braga, Guimaraes and Porto.

There are a number of excellent golf courses in the area.

The recently expanded airport at Porto is within easy reach by car. Low fares to this airport are now offered by a number of airlines. Alternatives, are the Spanish airports of Vigo and Santiago de Compostela which are reached by motorway.

The local festivities are held on the last weekend of July.

For larger groups, Casa de Sao Cristovao is close by and can accommodate a further 10 persons.
