Welcome
to Quinta da Moenda
Our
18th century watermill estate set in the 'green heart' of Central
Portugal within the beautiful Estrela and Açor mountain ranges.

We
invite you to spend your holidays at Quinta da Moenda, near to the village
of Alvôco das Várzeas,
in a region where mass tourism is an unfamiliar
word. This beautiful holiday retreat, dating from the 18th century consists
of a watermill, an olive mill which has been beautifully restored into
the Dutch owners family home and an old distillery which has been
converted into 5 self-catering holiday apartments
for rent. The mill estate lies between the lofty Estrela and Acor mountains
beside the Alvôco river. The Alvôco rises almost 2000 metres up
in the Estrela range and its crystal clear waters cascade and flow down
to the village of Alvôco das Várzeas, 300 metres above sea level.
We
are situated in a unique part of Portugal: the Beira-Alta,
where nature still goes on its own way, where the air and the rivers
are clean and pure, where the friendly inhabitants live
following the old traditions and where you still meet shepherds with
their sheep, donkeys pulling carts or women balancing the fruits of
the fields or fire-wood on top of their heads.
