About
Our farm began with Lurdes and Luis returning to their origins with a project that respects nature, man, the arts and traditions. In the municipality of Gouveia, situated at the foot of the Serra da Estrela with stunning landscapes and authentic living pictures where valleys of fertile land predominate.
The first acquisition was the 16-hectare Farm, where there were some granite buildings, an 80-year-old vineyard, many olive trees, oak trees, chestnut trees, pine trees, centenary cherry trees, rock formations from the glacial era and many water wells.
There is so much to see, feel and discover, because everything has been done with great passion, respect for nature, for all the animals and because our mission and social responsibility is also to make this way of life known to those who visit us.
