Casas da Encosta, Shale Houses, Accommodation in Shale Village - Free Wifi

Casas da Encosta - Houses on the slope of Aldeia de Cunqueiros

Three houses of shale that are being recovered in the village of Cunqueiros, in the municipality of Proença-a-Nova, form the Village Tourism Project, Casas da Encosta Lodge, where it is possible to revive the life, history and culture of the people of region, in the comfort of a typical village of Beira. Shale houses are being restored following the concept of local construction where shale, clay and wood are privileged. One of them, Casa da Lagariça, has already opened its doors in 2015 and has capacity for six people, boasting in the living room the living proof of a unique utensil of the region, the winegrower. Those who pass by can take advantage of the region through hiking, river beaches and viewpoints, explore the villages of Schist and, of course, experience the rich and varied cuisine of typical dishes such as Cabrito Estonado, Maranho, Bucho among others.

The House of Lagariça consists of 2 bedrooms, each composed of double and single bed, toilet, kitchen, dining room and living room. To be enjoyed by the whole landscape we have the terrace. We have capacity for 6 Adults and possibility of including an extra bed for a child and a bed rails for Bebe.

The House of Lagariça are located in a cluster of old houses shale, in which they are connected by a set of friendly walkways (Quelhas). With maximum capacity of 6 people Lagariça House is the ideal place for families and friends enjoying a single location. Pay us a visit and get a taste of what our best people can do.
Besides being able to dine on the outdoor terrace, has the ability to walk freely around the village, where in addition to a shale crowded area, has yet to explore the 5 km of river to the nearest village, Penafalcão. Under the summer sun, are waiting for their immense wells of fresh water and river beaches right there next.

Great characterful property, very helpful host.
Fantastic characterful property in Cunqueiros. We loved the house, an amazing conversion. The villagers we met were friendly. Nuno gave us really excellent ideas about the sights and events in the area. I’m sure we’ll be back when the weather’s better to try some of the river beaches. Highly recommended.

Estadia agradável, paisagem reconfortante
Exploração do local e arredores. Faço uma nota de que para crianças pequenas era bom que houvesse proteção de escada, quef a nível de portas quer a nivel de redução dos pilaretes de suporte do corrimão. Ex. Se entrar a cabeça, entr o corpo e qualquer desatenção pode ser grave. No geral não há criticas.

Escapadela 5 estrelas
Uma casa de xisto incrustada na encosta de um pequena Aldeia de xisto! Simplesmente fabuloso! O conforto proporcionado pela Casa de Xisto e a sua recuperação em madeira é de um aconchego por demais. A vista da casa sob a Aldeia e para a serra que a envolve é de uma imensa beleza, os cheiros, os sons da Ribeira e da passarada desperta os sentidos de todos os que visitaram esta Aldeia e ficaram neste Alojamento. A repetir decididamente!!!

Escapadela perfeita a apenas 2h de Lisboa! Uma cada de xisto recuperada com todo o conforto e respeitando toda a tradição da construção de xisto. Uma Aldeia de xisto parada no tempo e com os seus habitantes cheios de carinho e sabedoria para esbanjar a que visita está Aldeia. Um local a regressar certamente!!
