The granite houses and traditional architecture are "a kind of museum", allowing for a peaceful and relaxing stay experience. It is a special property, for its history, for its uniqueness. Two of the houses, out of the 4 that make up the property, already existed in 1640, the year of Portugal´s reconquest of independence, because according to a historian born in the village, the Count of Armamar, a Portuguese nobleman who sided with the Spaniards, took refuge there. A distinctive gate, with a beautiful cross and 2 side pyramids, bearing the date 1745 on the lintel, is one of the entrances to the main house. It is the only tourism in the Douro valley, whose accommodation takes place in typical village houses, with traditional architecture and local materials, granite and wood.
