Carefree and 100% gluten-free enjoyment in Northern Portugal
Quinta Viva a Vida is a small-scale place in the Arcos de Valdevez region. Born from our family and our own experience with celiac disease: a place where gluten-free is truly safe, and the ideal base to discover Northern Portugal.
Because Bianca and Pip have celiac disease, we cook the way we want to eat ourselves: safe, fresh and without question.

One of the oldest cities in Portugal, rich in history and atmosphere. A lively city just a short drive from the quinta.
Around Arcos de Valdevez you will find forests, mountains, streams and river beaches. Ideal for families, hikers and anyone who likes to be outdoors.
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.
