A place in northern Portugal where peace and reliability are taken for granted
Quinta Viva a Vida is a small-scale B&B in the Arcos de Valdevez region, born from our experience with celiac disease.
Because Bianca and Pip have celiac disease, we always cook the way we want to be able to eat ourselves: safely and without question.
Here you can relax, go out and discover northern Portugal.
With a reliable base to come back to.

Porto is within driving distance and is perfect for a day of culture, food and atmosphere. Again, we are happy to share our experiences around gluten-free.
