Villa Margaridi GUIMARÃES, PORTUGAL
Villa Margaridi is located in the beautiful city of Guimarães, one of Portugal’s most important historical cities, whose centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This 10th-century estate has been passed
from generation to generation within the current owner’s family since the 16th century. Villa Margaridi offers a peaceful and tranquil escape from modern life, as well as the opportunity to visit iconic Portuguese buildings, including Guimarães Castle, the Palace of the Dukes of Bragança and the Church of Our Lady of the Oliveira. Villa Margaridi is a boutique eco-hotel
comprising eight independent luxury villas converted from old farmhouses belonging to the manor house and forming part of a venerable nine-acre estate classified as Heritage of Public Interest. Guests can choose between different
types of villas sleeping two to six people and granting unique vistas — whether it’s a view of the gardens, the valley, the majestic Penha
mountain and cable-car, or your own garden with a private whirlpool bath. The villas are fully equipped with a host of modern amenities and decor that incorporates natural elements without compromising on elegance, style or comfort. One of the most striking features of the
grounds are the magnificent listed historical gardens, considered one of the best examples of Portuguese formal gardens. They’re home to an impressive collection of centuries-old camellia and holly trees, colourful flowerbeds, an expansive lawn and a swimming pool. A short walk from Villa Margaridi is the
Formigas restaurant, where guests can sample traditional Portuguese cuisine as well as international dishes. The property borders the vast City Park,
facilitating unforgettable walks amid stunning scenery in the heart of the city. Guimarães is just a half-hour drive from Porto International Airport and is well served by motorways and national roads.
Don’t miss Stroll through the historical gardens and enjoy a wine tasting at the impressive ‘Casa de Fresco’ followed by dinner at Formigas restaurant
