An invitation to a Portuguese manor

The Allens are extremely thoughtful, gentle and passionate people. You will see an amazing natural garden that's 150 years in the making. They are pockets of different gardens: Oriental; rain forest ferns and tallest pines.

Romantic garden in Porto, off the beaten track, a true gem!

A beautiful garden with lots of history beautifully recounted by the owners Alberto and Isaura, both experts in their field that made us feel so welcome. I wish I had found this garden earlier, a true gem in Porto.

Our group from Road Scholar were overwhelmed with all that was shard by Alfredo & Isa. The garden, the home and information of 7 generations of family who originally came from England. Truly a site to be experienced and enjoyed! -Mariano from Detroit
