About

We offer very unique tours on our farm in the Serra do Caldeirão, where you can pick olives directly from the olive trees.

Here you can discover what you could call the ‘real Portugal’.

The beauty of the countryside is immense with wildflowers and spectacular views and you can still find shepherds herding their sheep (and goats) and subsistence farmers working hard on their land to grow the food they need.

  • Olives harvesting experience;
  • Making bread with olives;
  • Tasting bread and olive oil.
