Quinta do Monteverde
José Manuel de Araújo Baptista MendonçaCastelo do Neiva - 4935-564 Viana do Castelo
A manor house whose location is inimitable was built in the 16th and 17th centuries by the Cunha Lobo Barbosa and Sottomayor family just 1 km from the sea. In 1820, the Genoese Judge Luigi Vital Monteverdi married the owner of the estate and the house became to be known by Quinta do Monteverde. The manor house was completely renovated with the interior retaining the touch of the seventeen hundreds. Quinta de Monteverde is a walled estate between the hills and the sea and close to the river mouth. In Castelo do Neiva, the sandy beach rolls on and on; sand dunes and unspoilt stretches lend a wonderful sense of isolation to the surroundings.
