About the Area
Our house is very near the center of a small, historic village with only 500 inhabitants. It is a large detached villa with around a wooded area of about 3 hectares. The garden has a separate apartment in the house for only about five meters, where we intend to install the visitors. Your neighborhood is mostly mountainous and has within fifty miles beyond the town of Seia, Gouveia, Oliveira do Hospital and Viseu, an important historical heritage where many medieval castles bear witness to the ancient history of the region. The village has a small Baroque chapel that has a typical remarkable altarpiece from the National Baroque period - 1732 and a small museum dedicated to the raw fur business, the tanners and the arts and crafts in leather, which is called the Memory House Samarreiros, unique in Portugal on this topic.
