On the slopes of Serra D'Arga, Montaria Lodge is a six-bedroom house for twelve guests with a private pool and panoramic views over the Lima valley. Twenty minutes from Viana do Castelo, surrounded by mountain trails, granite villages and deep silence, it is the perfect retreat for groups and families looking for nature without sacrificing comfort. The space On the slopes of Serra D'Arga, where the silence is broken only by the wind and birdsong, Montaria Lodge spreads across a stone and timber property with sweeping views over the Lima valley. Six bedrooms sleep up to twelve guests in a house that blends the rustic soul of a Minho quinta with contemporary comfort: a vaulted wooden ceiling, wide glass doors that frame the mountains like a living painting, a fully equipped kitchen and generous living space for the whole family. Outside, the private pool stretches across the garden with sun loungers and an outdoor dining area, and as the sun drops behind the peaks, the horizon catches fire. This is not a hotel, but it feels like one. Guest access Guests have exclusive access to the entire property, including the pool, garden, and all indoor amenities. The Portugal Active concierge service is available 24/7 to cater to any needs, from organizing local excursions to booking private chef services. Please request any service at least 72 hours in advance. Important Note: During your stay, regular garden and pool maintenance may take place. These interventions are important to ensure that all equipment remains clean, functional, and safe to use. During the high season (May to October), the pool is regularly maintained to ensure an impeccable experience for guests. In the low season (November to April), the pool may be closed, subject to confirmation with our team. Other things to note Portugal Active For those who want to go further, Portugal Active curates experiences across the Minho's mountains and valleys. From the Lodge, guided horseback rides through the sierra trails reveal landscapes that don't appear on any map. For adventurers with an appetite, the Hike, Dive and Dine tours combine a guided walk, a swim in a secret lagoon and a traditional tapas lunch. And for a fresh perspective on the region, the E-Bike Tours through the Lima valley are simply unforgettable. Book Your Stay. Portugal Active, Your Private Hotel. Registration Details 150919/AL
