Our story

A village reborn for rural tourism

Aldeia Turística de Louredo, certified as an Aldeia de Portugal, is located 7.2 km from the Caniçada reservoir, in the heart of Gerês. The houses have typically Minho characteristics — mostly two storeys, where the ground floor was used as livestock pen or agricultural store and the first floor was the living space.

The complex comprises 6 accommodation units — one T3, four T2, and one T1 — a support house, outdoor pool, spacious gardens with BBQs, and free Wi-Fi. Every unit has a mountain-view terrace, living area, flat-screen TV, fully equipped kitchen, and private bathroom with complimentary toiletries.

The Sanctuary of São Bento da Porta Aberta is 10 km away and Termas do Gerês 14 km. Porto Airport (Francisco Sá Carneiro) is 92 km away, with a transfer service available at additional cost.
