Located 50 kilometres from the beautiful Caniçada dam, the Quinta da Caniçada is at the heart of the unique and enchanting Peneda Gerês National Park. This former manor house still bears its stone coat of arms in traditional Minho fashion and is an ideal location for thorough relaxation in addition to the diverse range of locally available open-air activities. In addition to being set right on the banks of the dam, the hotel provides highly welcoming and personalised attention combined with the best in regional gastronomy and service to create a wonderful environment in which to enjoy the peace and energy of nature. The Ballooning Club and the Farm further contribute to the development and range of recreational and cultural activities. The former provides a rather different and fully safe, with varying degrees of challenge, means of discovering the beauty of the Serra da Cabreira hills and the Peneda Gerês National Park. The Quinta da Caniçada represents a wonderful means of combating the stresses and strains of modern life with every facility to foster your relaxation. Your only difficulty will be leaving.
