THE PAST SO CLOSE
In the heart of Minho, where roots intertwine with tradition, Casanova Farmhouse is born. A place of rustic charm and sophistication, where authenticity is the truest form of luxury.
Every stone and every piece of wood in this house tells the story of a family estate that now opens its doors to all, inviting sharing and a reconnection with one's origins.
More than a retreat, this is a return to the essence.

History
A family legacy.
Known for generations as Caza Nova, this agricultural estate holds centuries of history. Ana and Paulo, heirs to this piece of Minho land, chose to give it a new purpose—without ever taking away its soul.
Every detail of the restoration was crafted by hand and from the heart. The granite structures—almost medieval—surrounding the old wine and olive oil presses remain intact and now house the dining area. The century-old granary still presides over the threshing floor, just as it once did.
Inside, a restored loom stands as a symbol of continuity—a link between generations, the thread that binds past and present. More than restoring walls, a way of life was revived. And now, with generosity and a spirit of sharing, this house welcomes all who wish to live it.

Gastronomy
Minho is a land of great cuisine.
Minho is a land of hearty food, and at Casanova Farmhouse this culinary heritage is celebrated through traditional dishes and genuine flavours that evoke memories only the heart remembers.
Comfort food takes centre stage in recipes that warm the soul. The region’s fresh and distinctive vinho verde, grown on nearby slopes, pairs perfectly with the cuisine.
