Magical environment of a former convent for Franciscan monks. Hosts went out of their way to make our visit so lovely.

Susan, United States of America

Lovely property, comfortable room, cosy fire and relaxing sitting room. Owners are friendly and were very helpful in suggesting places to go/local history. Several local eateries are within driving distance for dinners.

Catherine, Australia

Very nice room, english style - decoration is suberp. We liked also the personal touch of the owners and the historical guidance of the renovated monistary they gave us. Sitting on the same large table, we had the opportunity to meet the other guests which gave us a very comfortable and a homely feeling. The owners always adviced us where to go for good restaurants in the neigbourhood. Please do not hesitate to book a few nights at this place. It is well worth it and you will surely not regret.

Jan, Belgium

Great breakfast: Daily changing offerings of fruits (often from the house garden), bread, cheese and sausage products!!

Nicole, Austria

This 16th century Franciscan monastery is surrounded by 35 acres of vineyards and gardens. Quinta da Franqueira offers an outdoor swimming pool, 5 mi from Barcelos’ city center.

Franqueira’s rooms feature pastel tones, combining a classic-style décor with white linens. Some rooms come with a four-poster bed, and the private bathroom includes a bath or a shower.

A breakfast buffet is served daily, and there is a variety of restaurants serving regional cuisine within 1.9 mi.

When days are hotter, guests can sunbathe in the terrace next to the pool, equipped with sun loungers. Quinta da Franqueira’s church, Bom Jesus do Monte, is still open to the public during weekends.

Beaches at Esposende and Litoral Norte Natural Park are a 22-minute drive. Francisco Sá Carneiro Airport is 26 mi away, easily reached through A28 motorway, located a 15-minute drive away.

Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.8 for a two-person trip.

This country house is also rated as the best value in Barcelos! Guests are getting more for their money when compared to other properties in this city.

No aircon , but bedroom fan provided and even in a week when daytime temperatures reach 40C , the thick convent walls and the fan kept us comfortable enough at night to sleep very well.
