Our picturesque, historic estate, constructed from local stone which has mellowed with age, lies at 300 metres above sea level and dates from the C18th. Newly renovated and retaining many original features, it consists of two old watermills, an olive press and a distillery. The olive mill is now a beautiful family home and the distillery has been converted into five charming holiday apartments.

A few kilometers away are the provincial towns of Oliveira do Hospital and Arganil where there are weekly markets, post offices, banks, shops, supermarkets, cinemas and other amenities.

 

 

 

The spectacular, diverse landscape ranges from eucalyptus, pine and cork oak forests on the lower slopes, with tracks climbing up to heather clad hilltops where you have breathtaking views. The area is wonderful for serious walkers. After your walk or ride take the chance to relax by the pool, or go for a swim in the river which flows just 100 metres from the apartments.
