About us

An old estate
with a calm way of hosting.

Quinta do Ribeiro existed long before it became a house for celebrations. Its history is present in every event, quietly and without staging.

Stones that hold centuries.
History

Stones that hold centuries.

Located in Balugães, in the heart of the Minho, Quinta do Ribeiro grew from a family house rooted in the land. Its rooms and gardens have been restored with respect for their original character.

More than two decades of hospitality.
Our journey

More than two decades of hospitality.

Weddings, baptisms, communions, company dinners and family gatherings have taught us that a memorable celebration depends on the balance between place, team and hospitality.

One team from beginning to end.
