A house in a somewhat forgotten place, in a rural environment, where you can stroll in time, where isolation does not cost and contemplation is mandatory. Near the Douro River, in the municipality of Baião, in Santa Marinha do Zêzere.
With wood and granite to dominate, this is a genuine home.
It has not been remodeled, transformed or intervened, but to guarantee today's modern facilities, being equipped to make the normal life of a home, with an improved kitchen and bathroom, being connected to the world by satellite (TV) or by data from the Internet (available on condition).
One hour from Porto (world heritage site - UNESCO), and just twenty minutes from the Douro wine region, also a world heritage site, with access (from Régua) to unique trips by train and boat. Close to unmissable landscapes painted by the mountains of Montemuro, Aboboreira and Marão.
In the heart of the Romanesque Route and the Vinho Verde Route, so close to the Port and Douro Wine Route. A few kilometers from Tormes, home to Eça de Queiroz.
For 4 people, up to a maximum of 5, we want to share with you this small space where time, having not stopped, invites us to reflection and contemplation.
A genuine field experience, a journey through time.
(The car does not reach the house, the house only comes with the desire to stay).
