Montaria Lodge by Portugal Active | House in Viana do Castelo
6 Bedroom House in Montaria, Viana do Castelo
Summary:
On the slopes of Serra D'Arga, Montaria Lodge is a six-bedroom house for twelve guests with a private pool and panoramic views over the Lima valley. Twenty minutes from Viana do Castelo, surrounded by mountain trails, granite villages and deep silence, it is the perfect retreat for groups and families looking for nature without sacrificing comfort.
The Space:
On the slopes of Serra D'Arga, where the silence is broken only by the wind and birdsong, Montaria Lodge spreads across a stone and timber property with sweeping views over the Lima valley. Six bedrooms sleep up to twelve guests in a house that blends the rustic soul of a Minho quinta with contemporary comfort: a vaulted wooden ceiling, wide glass doors that frame the mountains like a living painting, a fully equipped kitchen and generous living space for the whole family. Outside, the private pool stretches across the garden with sun loungers and an outdoor dining area, and as the sun drops behind the peaks, the horizon catches fire. This is not a hotel, but it feels like one.
Guest Access:
Guests have exclusive access to the entire property, including the pool, garden, and all indoor amenities. The Portugal Active concierge service is available 24/7 to cater to any needs, from organizing local excursions to booking private chef services. Please request any service at least 72 hours in advance.
Important Note:
During your stay, regular garden and pool maintenance may take place. These interventions are important to ensure that all equipment remains clean, functional, and safe to use.
During the high season (May to October), the pool is regularly maintained to ensure an impeccable experience for guests.
In the low season (November to April), the pool may be closed, subject to confirmation with our team.
The Neighborhood:
The village of Montaria, on the northern slope of Serra D'Arga, moves at a pace the modern world hasn't quite reached. Stone-cobbled lanes, centuries-old quintas and apple orchards frame a landscape that rewards an aimless afternoon walk. Along the mountain trails, hidden waterfalls and crystal-clear lagoons await those willing to go further on foot or by bike. Ten minutes by car, the town of Ponte de Lima hosts one of the oldest fortnightly markets in the country, full of local flavours and crafts. Viana do Castelo, with its historic centre, the Basilica of Santa Luzia and a lively riverside, is less than twenty minutes away. The Atlantic coast, with long sandy beaches, is just over half an hour.
Getting Around:
Montaria Lodge is reached by car along the mountain road towards Montaria, about twenty minutes from the centre of Viana do Castelo. The Lodge has private parking on site. Viana do Castelo is eighteen kilometres away, with train connections to Porto in under two hours. A car is essential for exploring the region: Ponte de Lima is fifteen minutes away, the Atlantic beaches thirty. Porto's Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport is approximately eighty kilometres, just over an hour by road.
Other Things to Note:
Portugal Active
For those who want to go further, Portugal Active curates experiences across the Minho's mountains and valleys. From the Lodge, guided horseback rides through the sierra trails reveal landscapes that don't appear on any map. For adventurers with an appetite, the Hike, Dive and Dine tours combine a guided walk, a swim in a secret lagoon and a traditional tapas lunch. And for a fresh perspective on the region, the E-Bike Tours through the Lima valley are simply unforgettable.
