Casa de Sezim

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!

This is a gem set amongst its own vineyards just outside the interesting city of Guimaraes. The interiors of the house are spectacular, with fascinating wallpaper and other furnishings reflecting its history - seven centuries in the same family. A wonderful warm welcome; delightful gardens; very comfortable rooms - what more could anyone ask of a stay. It was a delight to have been there!

Superbe décoration ancienne, chambre n°2 un peu petite mais confortabl, petit déjeuner très bien et l’environnement est très joli et vert. C’était très calme. Nous avons bu vec d’autres hôtes une bouteille de vin fabriquée par le propriétaire et il ne nous a pas fait payer. Il faut une voiture pour s’y rendre.
