LEBEN IN EINEM MITTELALTERLICHEN SCHLOSS DURCH ÉVORA-LANGFRISTIGE MIETE

We are the type of people who travel NOT to take selfies but to know specific places and people. We intend to analyse the footprints of those who came before us and remain in each place of the world that we visit.
We dont prefer 5 star hotels to show our friends photos of luxury places but only if we look for very comfortable places. To visit a site is, for us, to capture the soul of the place, people and have a glimpse of their art and story.

We inheritd this house from our family ancestors. It belonga us since 2 and half centuries. It was completely destroyed and recently rebuilt for the fourth time, now according with the law that protects Portuguese Heritage. The type of building comes from the XVIII century but it offers the comfort of a house.
Stone, clay and wood are traditional building materials tipical of the region.
