This is a dream house, where many memories were made by the many Family members who have lived here for generations. Belonging to the descendants of a blue blooded emblazoned Family, the “Quinta das Palmeiras” Manor House consists of three floors in the main building, and adjacent buildings, including: a second house, garages, several industrial-sized pavilions, a second bathroom recently renovated, and a small granary.
The imposing entrance to “Quinta das Palmeiras” is made through a large gate located between two giant palm trees which lend the name to this house (“Palmeiras” means “Palm Trees”), with a fountain in the garden, and a vast array of flowers and fruit trees scattered around the land.
The first floor of the main building is completely renovated, and it contains:

On the ground floor there is a shale kitchen with access to the garden, where there are several stone benches scattered around under the fruit trees, a decorative well, and a real size doll house made of wood and terracota tile. This idyllic garden has a covered area, with shale floors and walls, with long tables and wooden benches, ideal for dinner parties for friends and family.
Just 45km from the country’s 3rd largest City of Coimbra, 40km from the modern, up and coming City of Viseu, and 3km from the fantastic village of Mortágua (rated w/ the highest quality of life, nationwide), the village of Vale de Açores is easily accessible through excellent roads, Ip3 being the closest. The house is surrounded by land and forest, but also by the large village’s fairground, once part of the Manor, and donated by the owners to the village people. A few meters up, there is a supermarket, a well known restaurant with delicious traditional dishes, a butcher, a hairdresser, a laundry place, and a children's playground, amongst other commerce. There are several lovely walks and hikes which can be done in the area, both in the forest, and along the picturesque neighboring villages and its viewpoints.
Summer nights are warm, the air smells like hay, the stars shine bright, and the surrounding silence soothes you ... Come and visit us, and fall in love with this Manor House, with extraordinary potential for tourism ventures, or a dream Family home.
