Planning a wedding here
Wedding season in the north of Portugal runs from May to October. Rain comes up in 3. The site does not name an indoor hall, so ask what happens if it rains.
Guests flying in land 43 km away, about 36 min by road. The nearest town centre for hotels is 4 km away.
Neither the site nor the 270 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 which road to use for the last kilometre, how many waiters serve the tables, seated capacity indoors and outdoors, separately and whether there is more than one event on the same day.
