The delightful Casa Melo Alvim enjoys a privileged location in the historic centre of Viana do Castelo. Originally built in 1509, this elegant property (the ancestral home of the Melo Alvim family) has been sensitively remodelled, expanded and modernised to create a beautiful hotel of character, which offers accommodation of the highest standard.
