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 134 km away, about 1 h 40 min by road. The nearest town centre for hotels is 14 km away.

Neither the site nor the 85 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 seated capacity indoors and outdoors, separately, whether there is more than one event on the same day and whether the kitchen is theirs or outside catering comes in.
