A 15^th-Century Manor House Gives Newlyweds a Portuguese Beauty Treatment

In Portugal's old village of Povoa de Lanhoso, an area where fine houses were built, a renovated medieval manor house welcomes visitors to a place of great beauty. The manor contains a private chapel with romantic gardens of myrtle, found in traditional Portuguese bridal bouquets, and handsome box hedges; and there is a private pool for guests. This property still has an espigueiro – a typical granite grain store of the region, convenient to Portugal's industrial and commercial city of Braga. Porto's airport is about an hour and a half away, making this 15th-century manor a romantic honeymoon retreat.
