Casa Lavandeira: Where History Meets Modernity in a Breathtaking Rural Escape

Embark on a journey through time and nature with the "Casa da Lavand’eira," an enchanting eighteenth-century manor turned rural tourism venture nestled within a sprawling estate featuring vineyards and lush forests. Join us as we explore the fascinating blend of history, tradition, and modernity that defines this unique retreat.
Nature's Tapestry:
Situated along the Ovil River, Casa Lavand’eira offers a captivating experience through a designated hiking trail, "Ovil River, its legends, and mills." Immerse yourself in the natural landscape, cross wooden walkways, and discover the rich flora, fauna, and architectural heritage that characterize this picturesque region.
History Reimagined:
The dream of the owner transformed into Casa Lavand’eira - an integrated project combining tourist accommodation, event hosting, wine production, and a profound connection with nature. Explore the granite-built manor with a chapel, traditional fireplace, and bedrooms. Accommodations adapted from other farm buildings add a touch of authenticity.
Wine & Gastronomy:
Indulge your senses in the estate's wine production, seamlessly integrated into the venture. Discover the story behind each sip, as the owner cultivates vineyards to establish their wine as a characteristic element of Casa Lavand’eira. Taste regional gastronomy, and experience the "organic garden" supplying the restaurant's kitchen.
Sustainable Elegance:
Admire the intervention plans that prioritize refurbishing old buildings and constructing contemporary bungalows, embracing sustainable practices. A service hub with a restaurant, bar, spa, and outdoor pool, along with staff areas, is strategically placed to maximize sunlight exposure and breathtaking landscape views.
Preserving Heritage:
Casa Lavand’eira stands as a beacon of sustainability and cultural preservation. Recognized by the Municipal Council and Tourism of Portugal for its significant public interest, this project seeks to (re)tell the story of the property, fostering a reconnection with genuine traditions while preserving biodiversity, stories, and memories.
