About the host
Hosted by Lourenço von Almada
My name is Lourenço de Almada and i am natural of this great Minho mansion in Lanheses - Viana do Castelo. As a representative and heir of one of the most noble and ancient families of Portugal, I had early contact with the Portuguese heritage, its traditions, which are my passion of study and visit, here and abroad. Now I am pleased to put this knowledge at your disposal, being one of them the "art of good hospitality."
Why they chose this property
I did not buy the property because it is in my family for over 500 years.
