Our company, Ricardo da Cruz, Unipessoal Lda., operates under the brand venimar and focuses on stylish and sustainable holiday accommodations in northern Portugal. Quinta da Victória, opened in 2025, is our flagship project and was developed with great care, combining architectural quality with hospitality and innovation. Although we are a young business, our team brings experience, passion, and a hands-on approach. We strive to create memorable stays through personal communication, digital convenience (including smart locks, online check-ins, and a guest app), and professional service. What makes us different? A strong commitment to detail, beautifully designed spaces, a seamless guest journey – and a real passion for hosting. We are always available for our guests, whether via phone, chat, or in person. With new projects in the pipeline, our goal is to build a small but meaningful portfolio of inspiring places to stay – with sustainability, comfort, and guest satisfaction at the heart of everything we do.

Guests particularly love the privacy of each unit, the aesthetic design throughout the property, and the attention to detail – from sustainable energy use to curated local products available on-site. A bike rental service is also available, with scenic trails and beaches right at your doorstep. Whether you're looking for a relaxing escape, a beach holiday, or a creative workation, Quinta da Victória offers the perfect blend of nature, design, and comfort.

Quinta da Victória is located in a calm and green area on the edge of Viana do Castelo – a charming coastal city in northern Portugal, known for its beaches, historic old town, and relaxed lifestyle. Shops, bakeries, cafés, and local restaurants are within walking distance, while the city center and riverside are only a 15-minute walk or 5-minute bike ride away. Nature lovers can enjoy walking and cycling paths, particularly around the nearby Santa Luzia hill and along the Atlantic coastline. The beaches are ideal for swimming, surfing, or sunset strolls, while the city’s events and traditions add an authentic touch to every stay. Well connected by train, road, and ferry, Viana do Castelo also makes a great base for exploring Porto, Braga, and the Peneda-Gerês National Park.
