Casa de Sezim

Lovely, fascinating setting, great food and wine and most importantly, wonderful people! Wish we were here longer… Douglas and Marie

Our family of six adults recently stayed at Casa de Seizm as return visitors. We were so glad to be back! Juri, such a cute dog, again greeted us happily and kept us amused through our two night stay. From first setting our eyes on the wonderful crested entryway, it felt so welcoming. The hospitality we had is special. While graciously feeding us a huge breakfast complete with breads, juice, yogurt and eggs, if wished, our hosts were available if needed but respectfully left us to enjoy just being ‘there’. Our family enjoyed the huge guest area sitting by the fire and enjoying their delicious wine from the slightly bubbly white, the still white and to the slightly bubbly rose’. We enjoyed their wines just as much as the first time we visited. iIt was great to enjoy it again plus to enjoying two other ones they produce. Jose also took us son a tour of their vineyards and winery which was extra special. From the vine to finished product! Much thought and care is evident to produce sustainable and delicious wines in an environmentally supportive way. As well, the rooms we had were historical in design but so comfortable with very modern bathrooms. The shower was especially appreciated with plenty of hot water and pressure. The manor is truly something special, the history incredible. Walking through the main house is to be steeped in family history. The grounds are lovely though as well. Certainly, a highlight of our month long trip and one we hope to visit again!

Wonderful 16th century Manor House and Winery,just blown away by the beautiful tranquil surroundings,lovely pool and even 4 poster beds! Such friendly staff and lovely breakfast even a lovely little dog following us around and keeping us company,Julio a charming host as well.

This is a delightful, authentic, and magnificiently peaceful place to stay in Guimaraes. When you arrive you are greeted by the exceptionally warm and kind owner whose family has owned the property for generations. It is an incredibly beautiful and historic building and each corner you look in has a unique pieces. The hotel has a winery and there is no more beautiful place to enjoy trying the wine than sitting by the pool looking out on the vineyards. This is not an incredibly fancy hotel, rather it is a country experience that really gives you a taste of life in Portugal. The entire experience far exceeding our expectations (was truly outstanding !) and we just wish we had planned to spend more time there. It is spotlessly clean and we can't wait to come back to spend more time at this truly unique and wonderful home. It is an experience not to be missed.
