July draws to a close, but memories remain. And August awaits you.
July brought long days, mild temperatures, and the perfect setting to experience Silvalde fully. Now that the month is slowly saying goodbye, it feels like the right time to pause, look back… and share with you a glimpse of the summer we’ve lived and what is still to come.
The light of July and the charm of the season
There is something truly special about the way light moves through the gardens of Quinta de Silvalde at this time of year. In the morning, a soft glow filters through the bedroom windows, inviting a gentle start to the day. In the afternoon, the sun warms the paths between the trees, revealing the quiet beauty of every corner. As the day comes to an end, everything slows down, and the sunset paints the sky in warm, golden tones.
That’s how July was: filled with peaceful silences, unhurried strolls, and outdoor moments where time seemed to pause. Each guest who visited took with them a piece of that tranquillity. And we kept the stories, the smiles, and the certainty that every detail is worth caring for.
Seasonal cuisine, perfectly timed
Once again, the restaurant became a meeting place for flavour and comfort. Our menu celebrated the freshness of local ingredients, with dishes carefully crafted to honour the season and surprise the senses. At Restaurante da Vinha, each meal became more than just a moment at the table; it transformed into an experience meant to be savored slowly.
A summer that continues into August
With August on the horizon, the essence remains the same. The warm days continue to invite long pauses, romantic escapes, and relaxed weekends with family and friends. Quinta de Silvalde remains serene, welcoming, and ready to host those seeking rest, inspiration, and an authentic connection with nature.
If you haven’t visited us yet this summer, there’s still time. And if you already know us, then you know, each return always brings something new, even if it’s just the way you feel when you come back.
August is waiting for you. And so are we.
