The estate Casa da Cuqueira is located just South of the small town of Vieira do Minho. It is a fine example of a 19th century North Portuguese rural estate farm, consisting of a stately main house, several outbuildings and a stone gate with coat of arms.
In the main house, which is surrounded by a lush garden, are two apartments, named Camélia and Vinha. At the back you will find the swimming pool with a large lawn and playing field. At a distance stands O Alpendre, a former stone barn that has been converted into a holiday cottage. The owners, an elderly couple, also have their living quarters in the main house.
Camélia is on the ground floor at the front. This nice and comfortably furnished apartment for 2 people has everything you need for an enjoyable stay, including a private part of the garden.
Vinha is situated at the back. This especially large and tastefully furbished apartment houses 6 people. Vinha has also its own outside space, a patio on the former eira (threshing floor) and a part of the garden where fig trees grow.
The distance to the centre of Vieira do Minho is about 1 km. There are all kinds of shops, restaurants, cafés, banks, the post office, etc. Also closeby is the reservoir of Ermal, where you will find beaches, nice places to swim and also a facility for cable-waterskiing (called “Tele-Ski”). More possibilities for watersports are to be found at the large reservoir of Caniçada (12 kms), situated at the foot of the national park Peneda-Gerês. There are canoes, pedal boats and motor boats for rent and you can also (learn to) waterski.
