Interesting old manor. Guests can wander through the gardens and beautiful old manor rooms. There is a nice swimming pool area in the gardens. The estate produces an excellent white wine. You can preorder diner on most days but there are only 8 guest rooms so there may not be many takers. A car is needed as the estate is out of town. The staff were helpful and friendly. The breakfast was excellent. This is an old house so it takes some time for the hot water to come through to the shower and the dining and communal sitting room could be drafty in cold weather. The rooms have air conditioning/heating units. Wonderful historic house.

Only criticism was the lack of accessible staff but we were the only residents on our particular day

Nice rural location, nice welcome from hostes with estate wine, breakfast in the veranda was excellent with personalized choices. No air conditioning was an issue for us, windows helped but allowed for mosquitoes and insects to enter.

Lovely, fascinating setting, great food and wine and most importantly, wonderful people! Wish we were here longer… Douglas and Marie

Staying in this place is like going back 300 years in time. The manor is well kept. The room was large and clean and the lady who received us charming and helpful. The surrounding gardens are beautiful. I wish we could have stayed longer

I liked that it is a very unique historical property.

Loved the experience of staying in a casa that's been in one family for 30 generations the grounds are amazing the staff very helpful the food was very good the rooms were spacious and comfortable but a little tired overall I enjoyed my stay and would return. You must take taxi to village which is very charming taxis are reasonable. Train station close. B

An interesting place. Same family ownership for over 30 generations. Difficult to maintain such an old facility but they try hard and it has a certain old world charm. Very quiet place due to its remoteness and made for wonderful sleep.

Casa de Sezim is a bit rustic but it is really exiting and wonderful to stay in a courtyard style 14th century winemaker's villa. Excellent breakfast. Award winning wines at the honor bar. Easy 15 minute access by taxi to the historic Medieval section of Guimareas with its castles and several great restaurants.

Beautiful ancient buildings and exceptional grounds. Off the beaten track but a little hard to find with Google maps. Their own Vinho Verde wine was delicious. Everyone was friendly and helpful. It is a gem.

For no more than the price of a good hotel you are welcomed into a real home, a working winery, surrounded by the accumulated precious personal objects and taste that reflect the place and its culture. Nothing is artificial, or put on for show. Our room was spacious and comfortable and cool on a scorching day, without airconditioning. The pool and the grounds are relaxing and beautiful. You'll need a GPS to find it, but its only a short ride from major roads and Guimaraes. The wine, the bradkfast, and the dinner we were served were all delicious. If you are looking for somewhere made-over and modern, this is not for you. That kind of luxury can be easily bought. This kind can't.

We have stayed in more luxurious places than this hotel, but never ever in one with this price/quality ratio. This was a fantastic find. Just the wall paintings inside the public rooms are worth a visit. What a history! As a hotel, everything you really need is there: spacious bedroom and bathroom, swimming pool, nice breakfast on the porch, fireplace bar and lounge with honor system, winery on the premises, ... When in the area, we will return here.

Lovely stay . . . would definitely return to stay for longer to explore more of the area. Lovely room and great breakfast on beautiful balcony. The building and setting are lovely.

La demeure est magnifique et nous transporte délicieusement dans un autre siècle. Le superbe, et très grand jardin est une surprise additionnelle, ainsi que la terrasse attenante où se prennent les petits déjeuners. L’hote Jose un descendant de la famille, qui possède le vignoble et la propriété parle couramment français et est d’une grande courtoisie. Enfin, ce qui ne gâte rien, le vinho Verde primé de la propriété est délicieux et très abordable.

Llegue al hotel por la noche, llamé, grité, toqué puertas y NADIE ME ATENDIÓ. NO PUDE USAR LA HABITACION. Me tuve que ir de noche a buscar finde descansar!!! QUIERO DEVOLUCIÓN DE MI DINERO. Gracias. Como solicito la devolución?
