Setting

This house was rebuilt next to the ruins of an old watermill on the banks of the Mira River.
Located in the heart of the Alentejo, on a slope of the Mira River, this space is a privileged location due to its magnificent landscape and surrounding environment.
The houses of Castro da Cola are located next to the Castro da Cola archaeological circuit, an important archaeological site classified as a national monument. Discover the culture of other peoples who passed through here more than eight thousand years ago.
To learn more about this space, you can count on the help of the Reception and Interpretation Center located on site.
Next to it is the church of Nossa Senhora da Cola, a sanctuary that receives one of the largest pilgrimages in this region.

In this surprising oasis in the Alentejo landscape, we are invited to listen to the birdsong, the flowing water of the river, or simply find the tranquility of nature.
Nature invites rest, but also discovery.
