Bon Sonhos Palace

Among the gems of this corner of Portugal are cities like Guimarães, Braga and Porto, as well as historic villages and renowned wine-producing regions like the Douro Valley and Vinho Verde areas. The original structure dates back to the 17th century and is one of the most iconic buildings in the northern region. Renovation work was meticulously carried out to preserve its original features, and the interiors were lavishly decorated by a renowned Portuguese interior designer, featuring exquisite furniture, high-quality textiles and impeccable finishes. The result is a luxurious residence that gracefully combines history with contemporary touches, where every detail is meticulously crafted.

With ample space and numerous rooms for entertainment, it's an ideal choice for a large family getaway or formal gatherings. The property boasts 12 suites in total – 5 master suites with king-size beds, 4 suites with queen-size beds, and 3 junior suites also with queen-size beds – all equipped with their own bathrooms and ample space to accommodate up to 16 guests. The house offers three distinct living areas – a formal living room, a library/games room, and a more casual lounge. For dining, guests have several options: a family dining room seating 16, an indoor patio with seating for up to 18, a formal dining room with space for 20, and a charming dining area with 10 seats located in the old kitchen.
