Hello everyone! My name is Isaque Viana, I'm from a village in the north of Portugal, situated in the charming town of Ponte de Lima. I grew up in a simple and welcoming environment, surrounded by hard-working people, always with a smile on their face and ready to help. This genuine hospitality is something I carry with me to this day. I have a degree in Civil Engineering and, throughout my life, I've had the privilege of studying and living in Porto. I enjoy getting to know new cultures, travelling, listening to music, going to the theatre, the cinema and visiting art galleries to see exhibitions. I have a passion for architecture and I'm fascinated by stories, both to tell and to listen to. I also enjoy reading and writing. Basically, I'm not looking for just one thing, but a little bit of all the good things in life. When it comes to receiving people, I prefer to call my visitors friends. The word ‘clients’ is not part of our vocabulary here. I've done everything in this house to make you feel at home, so that you can enjoy your holiday and live a different and unique experience. My mum, Dores Viana, has a real passion for animals, agriculture and cooking. She loves to cook and welcomes everyone with great warmth, always with a smile and a home-cooked meal. My aunt, Rosa Viana, has a great passion for singing and, of course, for cats, which are part of our lives and our home. Together, we work to make your stay a memorable one, ensuring that you feel part of our family and our home.

Welcome to AltaVista Villa - A Panoramic Refuge in Nature AltaVista Villa is located high in the hills of the traditional village of Carreiras, a quiet and secluded spot, but at the same time close to the historic city of Ponte de Lima. This three-generation family project - Dores Viana (mother), Rosa Viana (aunt) and Isaque Viana (son) - was born out of the desire to create a unique space where tradition meets modern comfort, offering guests an unforgettable experience. The house retains the charm of traditional architecture, with elements such as the imposing granite chimney and fireplace in the kitchen, and combines them with contemporary touches in each room. Each room has been carefully decorated to offer a choice between the serenity of the past or the freshness of a modern style, without ever losing the essence of welcome and comfort. In addition to the large living and dining rooms, the property offers a charming outdoor space with an al fresco dining area, barbecue and a garden surrounded by paths for relaxing walks.

Ideal for those seeking rest and reconnection with the natural environment, AltaVista Villa is the perfect place to relax and unwind.
