Planning a wedding here
Wedding season in the north of Portugal runs from May to October. The site does not name an indoor hall, so ask what happens if it rains.
Guests flying in land 74 km away, about 58 min by road. The nearest town centre for hotels is 3 km away.
Neither the site nor the 161 reviews read name a chapel. For a religious ceremony, count on the church in the parish and the drive between the two.
On the first call, ask how many waiters serve the tables, which road to use for the last kilometre, seated capacity indoors and outdoors, separately and whether there is more than one event on the same day.
