A place created in the middle of nature to relax body and mind

Antonio Vidigal by Antonio Vidigal
A place created in the middle of nature to relax body and mind

Quinta do Refúgio Turismo Rural is located in the tourist village of Bela Vista in Ribas, in the municipality of Celorico de Basto.

Built in 2013, this space surrounded by nature is a true refuge. It has an amazing landscape overlooking the hill of Nª Sr.ª da Graça and the Marão mountain range.

It is the ideal retreat for your holidays or for a weekend getaway. Let yourself be enveloped by Nature in its purest state. Immerse yourself in the natural landscapes, where the waters murmur, the birds sing and the breeze embraces the body and mind.

Quinta do Refúgio has 2 double bedrooms, 1 quadruple bedroom, 2 indoor bathrooms, 1 living room and kitchen (open space) with oven, ceramic hob, microwave, toaster, kettle, coffee machine, dishwasher, washing machine clothes, vacuum cleaner and iron. The property has Wi-Fi, a 43” LCD TV with USB and HDMI input and 120 channels. It also has air conditioning in all rooms.

Outside you can enjoy a salt water swimming pool, multi-sports field, children’s playground and a lawned garden and deck with sun loungers.

You can also use the barbecue and wood oven and enjoy fantastic meals in the shed with a dining table. For fun you can count on some games and books, table football, billiards and darts.

The farm has automatic gates and a fence around the entire property.

Quinta do Refugio is located in the parish of Ribas, which belongs to Celorico de Basto, which is a Portuguese village located in the sub-region of Tâmega and Sousa, belonging to the North region and the district of Braga.

The highest point in the municipality is in Viso, at an altitude of 851 meters. In this place we can find a chapel, dedicated to Nossa Senhora do Viso.

Celorico de Basto will have been occupied since very remote times, as witnessed by the marks that the oldest civilizations left here.

Hotel Quinta das Lágrimas – A love that never ends

by Antonio Vidigal

Crossing the gates of the Hotel Quinta das Lágrimas is not simply entering a hotel. It is stepping across an invisible threshold — between the present and something that has never truly disappeared. The pace slows almost without notice. The light arrives softer, as if it were meant for this...

Unique experience in Northern Portugal.
Located in a privileged location with a setting of great natural beauty on a small hill, it was built from the recovery of an 18th century baroque manor house and transformed into a refined four-star Hotel Rural de Charme, fully integrated into the countryside, encompassing a magnificent property.
