The proximity of the mountain range of the Caldeirão and the line of hills of the 'Barrocal', makes of this region a climatic paradise. The recognition of the rich environment qualities dates from the beginning of the century when, in 1918 the Sanatorium Carlos Vasconcelos Porto was constructed. Even today, many choose live here, mainly for the healthy breezes of the region.

Walking the rock paved streets, we admire the white chimneys, traditional ovens, tile roofs, white painted walls and the 'patios'.

In the museums we live histories of the ancient people. The old arts and techniques still last in the local artesanato.

A stroll by foot leads to tranquility. Pure air carries the aroma from the 'esteva', and 'rosmaninho'. It is now time to taste the cheese, the wine, 'aguardente of medronho', the bread and 'filhós'. It is in this place of cultural and natural references, that the Vila Quinta dos Ferreiros waits for you…

the nature of your dreams...
