Behind every old gate, there is a story waiting to be told.
Hidden behind ancient stone gates in the heart of Northern Portugal, Vinte-Quinta da Boavista is one of those places.
Its story is believed to date back to the 15th century, when the estate had its own chapel and generations of families called it home. Centuries later, the renowned Portuguese architect Fernando Távora left his mark here, bringing his thoughtful vision of traditional Portuguese architecture to the estate.
After more than a decade of silence, the Quinta was rediscovered by a family who fell in love with Portugal and dreamed of bringing this beautiful place back to life. Together with a talented international team, they carefully restored the estate, preserving its heritage while creating a home for a new generation of travellers.
In 2020, the gates opened once again.
And why Vinte? In Portuguese, it means twenty. It is our street number, the year of our new beginning, and a little reminder that some things are simply meant to be.
Today, surrounded by 13 hectares of gardens, vineyards and rolling green landscapes, Vinte-Quinta da Boavista is a place to slow down, reconnect with nature and enjoy the simple pleasures of life.
A place with centuries of stories. And room for yours.
