Resting quietly in the vineyards and olive groves of Carmões, just 45 minutes north of Lisbon, Casa Sacoto is a beautifully restored 19th-century estate offering exclusive, design-led weddings in rural Portugal. Ideal for multi-day events, this private retreat blends Mediterranean warmth with understated style, and invites couples to slow down, celebrate in nature, and savour a deeply personal wedding experience.
About Casa Sacoto
Casa Sacoto is a slow-living wedding retreat imagined by creative couple Liliana and Hugo, who lovingly restored the abandoned manor house into the serene space it is today. Drawing on Hugo’s design background and Liliana’s expertise in events, the venue reflects their shared appreciation for simplicity, craft, and heartfelt hospitality.
Set in one of the oldest villages in Torres Vedras, the property is steeped in regional history – from Lusitanian and Roman roots to Moorish influences. Today, the estate features a charming mix of old-world character and contemporary minimalism, creating a grounded and light atmosphere for wedding celebrations.
The venue hosts only a limited number of weddings each year (just five per season), ensuring every couple receives true personal attention and that the property remains pristine for every celebration. Exclusive hire includes 10-hour event access with all logistics, licences, and wedding furniture included, helping couples save significantly on rentals. Couples are welcome to work with Casa Sacoto’s trusted supplier list or bring in their own vendors by arrangement.
The property includes the main house and two independent studios, sleeping up to 10 guests in a mix of bedrooms and private suites. Casa Sacoto includes a pool, manicured gardens, shaded patios, and a neutral-toned Main Hall that acts as a versatile Plan B for indoor ceremonies or dinners. With proximity to vineyards, beaches, and just 35 minutes from Lisbon Airport, it’s a seamless blend of seclusion and accessibility.
Weddings
Ceremonies
Casa Sacoto offers a variety of ceremony settings. The lush garden and vine-lined patio provide open-air spaces ideal for medium to larger gatherings, framed by mature trees, whitewashed architecture, and the soft hues of rural Portugal. For smaller, more intimate ceremonies, an estate inner courtyard offers a secluded setting with a tranquil atmosphere.
Couples can host legally recognised civil wedding ceremonies on site, thanks to the venue’s marriage licence. And in the case of unpredictable weather, the neutral-toned Main Hall serves as an elegant Plan B, allowing for an indoor ceremony without compromising on style or ambience.
If couples do not have their own wedding planner, Casa Sacoto requires the use of their in-house day-of coordination service, ensuring all logistics are handled seamlessly on the day. This service is available at an additional fee.
Receptions & Celebrations
The Main Hall, a minimal white walled space with high ceilings and a mezzanine, can host up to 90 for a seated dinner and opens directly onto the gardens for seamless indoor-outdoor flow to the day. The mezzanine often becomes a dance floor in the evening, while the garden is ideal for cocktails, aperitifs, or a post-ceremony dinner beneath the rustling trees.
Spaces like the patio and fountain area can be used for pre-dinner drinks or cake cutting, with soft lighting and the surrounding greenery creating a warm, informal elegance. Celebrations can continue until 2am, giving couples time to create a wedding day that moves with rhythm and ease, and ensuring the fun isn’t over all too soon!
Accommodation
Casa Sacoto sleeps up to 10 guests across 4 bedrooms: two in the main house, and two self-contained studios with private bathrooms and kitchenettes. Designed with natural textures and neutral tones, each space balances modern comfort with a sense of place.
The main house includes a shared living area and kitchen, ideal for group breakfasts or quiet coffees before the big day. Outside, the swimming pool and sun terrace invite guests to gather and unwind together.
The property works best for couples seeking to host a core group on-site, while arranging nearby accommodation for the rest of their guests. The owners can assist with recommendations for local stays.
Catering
Dining at Casa Sacoto is rooted in classic Portuguese hospitality and the pleasures of slow, seasonal food.
In-house catering showcases regional ingredients and traditional flavours presented with understated elegance; think artisanal breads, local cheeses, fresh-caught seafood, and garden-picked herbs. Every element is prepared with care, designed to bring people together and honour the flavours of the land.
Couples can work closely with the culinary team to design a menu that reflects their style, whether that means an abundant alfresco feast under the trees, an elegant multi-course plated dinner in the Main Hall, or a rustic, wine-paired garden lunch the day after the wedding. All catering packages are flexible and crafted to feel intimate, generous, and uniquely yours.
If couples prefer to bring in external caterers, Casa Sacoto provides a list of trusted local vendors who understand the flow of weddings here and meet the venue’s standards of quality and service.
The venue holds a full alcohol license and allows distribution, so guests can enjoy signature cocktails, Portuguese wines, and celebratory toasts with ease. While there is no permanent bar structure, mobile bars can be elegantly incorporated into both indoor and outdoor setups, whether on the garden lawn, beneath the pergola, or inside the main hall. Every sip is part of the celebration, thoughtfully woven into the experience.
