Lourenço Bruschy
Casa do Retiro is located in the heart of Ribeira Lima, in the village of Fontão, one of the most picturesque villages of the Minho region in northern Portugal. Ponte de Lima, the oldest Portuguese town stands 7km away and Viana do Castelo, where long white sand beaches contrast with slopes of vineyards and farms, is only at a 15 km distance. Manor Casa do Retiro is part of a 10ha farm exhibiting the typical architecture of the region. It is surrounded by fields and trees and encircled by stone walls, providing great privacy and a sense of peace. The house stands amid a highly forested area, surrounded by the imposing Serra D´Arga and the plain of Rio Lima, combining a beauty worthy of a romantic painting with a privileged location. A clear water brook crosses the farm, inviting to a bath or trout fishing. The land is intended for corn plantation for animal feed purposes. After crossing the emblazoned entrance gate, we come to an open and ample yard that leads to a large stone staircase and the manor’s main entrance.
