NHôme Country Living

Ponte de Lima, nestled within the Lima Valley, is a tourist destination when it comes to manor houses and stately homes. A Minho town whose history dates back to prehistoric times, this is where the famous Vinho Verde wine flourishes. It is a traditional town, rich in agriculture and events that mark the region, such as the Feiras Novas and A Vaca das Cordas. Legend has it that the river Limia (named by the Galicians and much used by the Romans) was known by the Greeks as Lethes, which meant: forgetfulness. They say that anyone who crossed the bank would lose their memory. 
Legend or not, it is with memories that we want to celebrate our visit to NHôme Country Living, a space where socialising with friends or as a couple is a pleasure. Here, peace is boundless.
On arrival, we are pleasantly surprised by the treats the marvellous team provides for us. Cheese, fruit, wine and a welcome card. It was already late at night, if truth be told, but it was around the campfire by the vineyard that our experience truly began. The long conversations, accompanied by laughter and good cheer, while toasting to life, made our arrival a memorable moment. When we retired to bed, time stood still in the cosiness of our suite, and we rested. 
In the morning, the breakfast baskets on our doorstep grabbed our attention. And the laid table, among the vines, was soon stocked with an array of local produce. We could smell the countryside, contemplate the landscape and enjoy a marvellous moment.  

Six suites designed by architect Teresa Aroso with modern design and comfort in a country setting

The afternoon was spent by the pool, where the views stretched over the vineyards and the Serra D’Arga in the distance. We waited for the sunset. We also enjoyed a moment of relaxation in the jacuzzi in the middle of the vineyard.
For those of you who are not familiar with this place, let us introduce you to the project. The redevelopment of the old house gave rise to six suites, designed by architect Teresa Aroso, who sought to preserve the memory of the place, giving it a modern touch and comfort in a country setting. All the suites open onto a private outdoor area where there is a balcony, a small dining table and two sun loungers. Each suite has been given the name of a typical grape variety of the region, in addition to the premium Garrano and Lusitano suites. The latter are a tribute to the finest equestrian breed. The Lusitano by Hästens Suite consists of a bed with a Hästens mattress, made from natural materials, such as horsehair, wool, cotton, linen and an exclusive patented spring system, where you can be sure of a good night’s sleep. The Garrano Suite, with its contemporary design, overlooks the peaceful vineyards and is right by the pool, where you’ll be greeted by the chirping of birds in the olive trees. The other suites, Loureiro, Alvarinho, Vinhão and Trajadura, are a nod to the world of wine and have been decorated to produce a cosy setting. All the suites have a minibar, coffee machine, kettle and microwave.
