Fodor's Expert Review Casa Dos Pombais
Av. de Londres 100, Guimarães, Braga, 4810-537, Portugal Fodor's Choice
For an unforgettable experience, stay as a guest of the Visconde Viamonte da Silveira in his 18th-century manor house on the edge of the historic city center. The Casa Dos Pombais is a typical Minho-style estate surrounded by a garden scented by orange trees. The house is chock-full of antiques—silver, crystal, and ceramics—but there's still a homey feel to it all: cast-iron stoves keep the place toasty in winter, and guests have the run of a kitchen.
