Fodor's Expert Review Solar das Avencas

This historic manor house is old-world style at its best, exquisitely adorned with local tapestries and chock-full of antiques. The house has been in António Manuel Manta's family for more than 200 years, and it feels like you're a guest in the family home. You'll be warmed by their hospitality, and by the complimentary glass of port they normally share with guests on arrival. Most of the rooms have fireplaces and high ceilings, and one has an annex with extra beds for kids. Breakfast is a luxurious spread of local cakes, teas, and breads, served on silver and crystal.
