Our story begins several years ago when we decided to start our business with the aim of providing high-quality services and products. The estate originates from the passage of the estate by a family generation and dates back to the sixteenth century, being mentioned in the charters of Dom Manuel I. It is a place of construction with sixteenth-century roots and a privileged solar position. Since the beginning, our main concern has been customer satisfaction and therefore, we always seek to approach each customer in an individual and personalized way. Over the years, we have acquired a wealth of experience that allows us to guarantee only excellent work. Our history is marked by the commitment to quality and the trust that our customers place in us.

The farm is a mixture of ancient mystery with a structure that fits all needs and enchants everyone who visits it.
