Description
Vilarinho dos Freires, a parish in the Douro region, holds a wealth of cultural heritage, including its 18th-century manor houses, one of the most representative of which belonged to the Couceiro da Costa family, located in Presegueda. Even today, the village of Presegueda continues to mark its identity in the history of Port wine. With the recent demand for old Port wines by some historic brands, Taylor's discovered in this location an authentic 'nectar of the gods', currently one of the most expensive wines in the history of Port wine. History, culture and natural beauty, this property takes us on a journey through time. Huge wooden shutters open onto the ground floor, on the left, the entrance to the old stables, ornaments from that time embellish this space and the natural stone walls give it an exclusive identity. On the right, remains of a room that may have once been an office. Wide, grand granite stairs lead to the upper floor. Along the way, unique pieces hanging on the walls captivate the gaze of those who admire the 18th century. The main floor of this property has ten bedrooms, some of which are still in use today. The bathroom and regional kitchen were recently remodeled, but the original design remains, which can be seen in the wooden ceilings, as well as the flooring. The third and last floor is divided into two independent parts, 'turrets', both with rooms used as extra bedrooms. It is worth mentioning that most of the roof has undergone conservation work. An indescribable moment is when entering the property's chapel, which is accessed from the inside of one of the bedrooms, a completely private mezzanine for the family to pray, named 'Chapel of Our Lady of Remedies', also accessible through the outside door on the street, as it is one of the four chapels in the parish that were once used by the town. Outside, a plot of land with more than three hectares where olive groves predominate, has a water mine and reservoir, some degraded annexes could be converted into future housing, boosting this investment, a boutique hotel is certainly an excellent option, with panoramic views over the valley, vineyards and olive trees dot the surrounding landscape, and is classified as a world heritage site by UNESCO. Presegueda is nearby the N313, is 8km from Régua and 20km from Vila Real. Francisco Sá Carneiro International Airport is 125km away.
