Casa de Sezim

It was elegant. The grounds were gorgeous. The pool area was perfect.

This is the home of a noble, wine-producing family and has parts that go back to the 13th century - but most of the hotel portion is 19th century rustic with incredible furnishings, one-of-a-kind wallpaper produced in Belgium and awesome wine! Lovely grounds, gardens and fabulously entertaining resident Jack Russel terrier. The host/owner, Jose is just a deoghtdul human and so are all of the staff. Breakfast is made form almost exclusively products of the farm. In other words, just the best!

Incredibly impressive location. Quiet and beautiful settings.

House of Sezim is a stunningly beautiful estate nestled in the hills outside of Guimareas. Everything from the gracious attention received from Jose, the innkeeper/owner who lives on site (and is also son of Portugals previous ambassador), luxurious Portuguese monogrammed linens, beautifully decorated rooms with period furnishings throughout including handpainted historic wallpaper in salon room, beautiful well manicured grounds and gardens, delicious breakfast and estate grown wine made our stay one of the best travel experiences weve had--(and weve been traveling extensively throughout Europe for past 10 years).
