A property that combines the tranquillity of a rural setting with its traditional and original traces is an absolute delight to those who want to experience unforgettable moments.
It is in Guarda, at the historical village of Trancoso, where we can find this so welcoming and homely Casa dos Palhais. After a thoroughly executed restoration of one of the most original houses, this home became an enchanting house exuding comfort, commodity and tranquillity proposing a few days of total relaxation away from the routine of daily life.
As soon as you arrive at the house, you will be overwhelmed by the simplicity and cosiness of the owners that will give you a warm welcome. It is this same feeling that will guide you through the house and show you the most particular and captivating details. Your entry through the main door will reveal a cosy and comfortable interior with a stunning combination of rural and contemporary decoration. At the living room, the crackling fireplace invites you to long and snug evenings enjoying the warmth, the spaces and the mythic ambience. The exterior of the house will invite you to experience the truly country life where you can get your hands dirty while taking care of the vegetable garden of the house or go for a walk in the woods nearby.
All these charming particularities are matched by an equally appealing location of the house in this historical village of Portugal.
