This magnificent 1000-acres estate, embroidered by olive and cherry trees, close to the city of Bragança, is an outstanding example of a manor house built in the 17th and 18th centuries. It belongs to the Pessanha family, descendants of Manuel Pessanha, a Portuguese teacher who specialised in navigation, during the kingdom of D. Dinis.
A sense of history, culture and tradition, as well as elegant hospitality maybe experienced within the house itself and in its welcoming private chapel, evidencing a richly golden carved wooden altar painted in blue, red and white, where images of Saint António, Saint Francisco and Saint Caetano can be identified.
This historic 17th century manor house offers the chance to participate in traditional farming and to use the hunting area of the estate. The atmosphere is one of ultimate tranquillity and the house offers a high standard of comfort and service. Within the neighbouring area of Barragem do Azibo and the Montesinho Natural Park, picturesque villages offer a wide variety of leisure activities and interesting discoveries of a wonderful natural scenery. |
