Casa de Sezim  

In the rolling hills just a 15-minute drive from the centre of Guimarães, Portugal. This family-owned historic house dates to 1376 and sits close enough for easy visits to the medieval streets and landmarks of Guimarães.

An elegant façade opens to traditional interiors with early 20th-century wallpaper, dark wood furnishings and stately portraits. Some rooms feature four-poster beds with antique-style bedding. The estate’s long history is tangible — original vellum documents record the house’s ownership back to 1376.

Outdoor pool, landscaped gardens and on-site horse-riding facilities invite active days. The property also runs a vineyard and bottles its own wines — perfect for tasting the estate’s wines after a stroll through the grounds.
