From Porto Airport: Take the IC1 to Viana do Castelo / Valença. Eventually, before you arrive in Viana, you will cross the bridge over the river Lima. After crossing the bridge, continue in direction to Viana (ignore the right turn to Meadela/Ponte de Lima) and after 2 km turn right signposted “Trânsito Local”. In 200m you will arrive to a rounabout, after the roundabout turn right and you will find the gate of the house on your left 50m after the entrance of the hipermarket called “Continente”.

The Faria Araújo family who still resides there today purchased Casa do Ameal in 1669 for just 3,500 shillings. It is thought to have been built in the 16th Century, although no exact date is known. In keeping with traditional Minho noble houses the entrance courtyard is adorned with a stone fountain and pond. The proprietors of Ameal have thoughtfully provided an authentic handicrafts and folkloric display, and exhibit antique costumes belonging to their ancestors.
