Alma da Vila combines the character of a century-old building with the comfort of a fully renovated apartment. Bright, spacious and thoughtfully designed, it offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere where guests can relax after a day exploring Ponte de Lima. One of its most special features is the view. From the windows, guests can look out over Largo de Camões, the Lima River and the medieval bridge, enjoying the rhythm and charm of the village from above. The apartment includes a fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning, cable smart TV, free Wi-Fi, toiletries and other essentials to make each stay comfortable and easy. I also enjoy sharing local recommendations for places to eat, walk and discover, so guests can experience Ponte de Lima like a local.

Hello and welcome to Alma da Vila! It is a great pleasure to host you in this space designed to make you feel at home in Ponte de Lima. I especially enjoy welcoming people from different places and sharing a bit of the beauty and authenticity of this village. For me, hosting is more than providing accommodation — it is about creating a comfortable, peaceful and memorable experience. Whenever possible, I like to help with local recommendations, from traditional restaurants to walks along the river or through the historic streets. In my free time, I enjoy travelling, discovering new places, gastronomy and nature, as well as running and mountain biking (BTT), which also inspires me to continuously improve my guests’ experience. I hope you enjoy your stay as much as I enjoy welcoming you.
