Among others, the rivers Mondego and Zêzere originate here. The eco-cabin is located near the Caminho de Santiago, the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. The breathtaking small-scale cultural landscape with fruits, olive trees and vegetables alternates with vistas and rugged nature in the valley of the Mondego.

Nature and surroundings
The Serra da Estrela Natural Park is the largest protected area in Portugal and is located in the central massive mountain region, on a plateau that slopes slightly to the northeast. The mountains here are separated by river valleys. Among others, the Mondego and Zêzere rivers originate here. The quinta is located on the Caminho de Santiago pilgrimage route. The breathtaking small-scale cultural landscape alternates with vistas and rugged nature in the valley of the Mondego. For the experienced hiker there is the trek to the top of the Tentinolho (950 meters) from the nature house. The less experienced hiker can walk from the farmhouse, parallel to the Rio do Mondego river, through the valley to the Mizarella and Pero Soares. We advise you to come by car because the farm is remote. The nearest supermarket is 25 min drive. Don't have a car? Then take the cab that will drop you off at the traffic circle near the quinta. From there it is a 10 min walk.
