About this property
Entire place
Sustainable rebuilt windmill from 19th century in Ponte de Lima, North Portugal.
In 2019, we have rebuilt our windmill from late 19th century in Ponte de Lima, the oldest Portuguese village. See the video of the house and land here: https://youtu.be/I3I1YSCAx58 and stay in a unique place were modern meets heritage. In the renovation project we made all efforts to promote a sustainable lifestyle: granite for walls came from the property, we chose native plants, the water comes from a well in the ground and almost all energy needed is generated from the sun.
In 2022, we have built a new road from the other side of the hill that allow easier access to windmill by car. The access is still steep when compared to a normal road but now all cars can make it to the top. You can park your car by the entrance of the windmill on the top of the mountain - please check the aerial photos to see the new road - the new road is not shown in the video and If you need more information please contact.
In 2023, we have installed a wood fired hot tub next to the windmill on top of the mountain. This is perfect to relax and enjoy the views of north Portugal by day or nigh, during summer or winter! The hot tub heats up with by burning wood in the connected stove and allow you to enjoy the most of your time at the windmill.
The Windmill is in the most Northern part of Portugal, Minho, which is hilly and beautifully green. A place to get away from stressful life, to relax and regain energy. Luxury and cosy interiors and spacious exterior areas with high solar exposure make the Windmill a perfect place to enjoy the North of Portugal all year round. The beautiful mountain slope have many secret corners and you can find pine trees, oak trees, cork oak trees, olive trees and many others. The outside deck with relaxation area is secure and private with furniture, a parasol and BBQ, in addition to the stunning views day and night. The local town of Ponte de Lima, the oldest in Portugal is gorgeous. Other villages in north Portugal such as Vila Nova de Cerveira, Valença (fortified town), Caminha are picturesque and interesting. Just a few minutes you can go from the river to coast, green countryside to historical towns, golf to surfing and to enjoy with nice food and wine. Ponte de Lima is famous for "vinho verde" from the grape "Loureiro" which is fruity and refreshing.
A drive into Spain for shopping and sightseeing and 'tapas' is very easy from the bridge at Valença (38km by motorway). Porto, Vigo and Viana do Castelo offers some astonishing shopping malls with all the international brands you could hope for under one roof. Of course Porto (less than 1 hour away) is the second capital of Portugal that is famous for Port wine, culture and historic sites. Nightlife is very good at beach places such as Caminha and Baiona, during summer and Vigo all year round.
New Year's eve at the windmill is something special! Ponte de Lima is known for the spectacular fireworks. At the windmill you can see the fireworks of the entire municipality. If you are considering spending New Year's eve in North Portugal this is the perfect spot.
Getting to Ponte de Lima Windmill: flying to Porto is the easiest way to get to Ponte de Lima. It will be necessary to have a car. We will provide detailed directions from Porto airport to the doorstep of the Windmill. It takes less than 1 hour to drive along an almost empty motorway with some spectacular views.
