For so many years, I wished to go there, to Casa de Sezim, and stay for a while. This vacation, I went there and just stayed one night, but at least, I saw the house and its beautiful walls. Next time, I will stay more time. :-)
Antonio Pinto de Mesquita, the owner of this charmante house, was an embassador. Here we see a photo with him and Queen Elisabeth II when she visited Portugal in February 1957.
This historical house is in the present family since 1376. Its XIX century panoramic wallpapers with scenes from both the new and the old world became a motive of international curiosity because of their rarity.
Casa de Sezim is happily situated in Guimaraes, Portugal's first capital, also an exquisite city.
In this historical house, the breakfast is served in this terrace with view to the gardens. Very nice!! We enjoyed so much!
We just stayed one night and enjoyed the house for one morning, but the friendly welcome of the owners and the staff made us wish to come there again ;-)
