Terra Rosa Country House - Escape in the Heart of Minho
Nestled between the gentle folds of northern Portugal’s lush Minho region, Terra Rosa Country House & Vineyards is more than a place to stay—it’s a place to breathe. Located on the historic family estate of Quinta de Codeçosa (a property dating back to 1758) near the ancient village of Ponte de Lima, this boutique rural retreat invites you to live the rhythm of the land.
Rooms, Suites & Design Character
With only 4 rooms and 3 suites housed within the converted “Casa do Lúpulo” and adjacent restored buildings, Terra Rosa offers a truly intimate experience.
Each space is crafted with calm modernity and local roots in mind: natural stone walls, wooden beams, linen fabrics and touches of hand-woven accents give you comfort and character. A private terrace overlooks vineyards or the olive groves; some suites feature spacious living areas ideal for two couples or a small family
Location & Why It Matters
Terra Rosa is located at Rua São Pedro de Calvelo 361, 4990-580 Calvelo, Ponte de Lima.
While tucked away, it’s far from remote. You’re about 10 minutes from Ponte de Lima’s historic centre, roughly 45 minutes from Porto’s airport, and ideally placed for exploring northern Portugal’s coast, hills and vineyards.
This is a stay for those who appreciate:
Slow travel and connection to land
Authentic rural luxury rather than high-rise resort glamour
Small scale, thoughtful service, and space to breathe
Why Terra Rosa Stands Out
The transformation of a centuries-old estate into a boutique retreat feels rooted, not imported.
The setting—vineyards, olive groves, hills of Minho—gives you panorama and peace in equal measure.
The experience beyond the bed: wine, walks, nature, silence.
Reviews repeatedly highlight the “pace slowed down”, the “sense of coming home to the land”, and “attention to detail in design and service”.
Terra Rosa Country House & Vineyards is an invitation into the rhythm of northern Portugal—vines, hills, olive trees, slow mornings, and spaces designed for renewal. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s a place to feel the land and live quietly, beautifully. If you’re looking for a meaningful pause in one of Portugal’s most charming regions, this is your story-setting.
