Stone & Cal spacious 200 year old village house

Beyond an old iron gate, a private south-facing courtyard offers shade from its trees to arriving soujourners. The murmur of water that runs in an old stone tank coaxes guests into the main salon of a centuries-old village house - a restored wine cellar where people used to bring their grapes to turn into wine. This alchemic spirit still lives in the house. Inside, ancestral furniture is mixed with modern pieces, making for contemporary functionality while keeping the integrity of the place alive. The living-room opens out onto a cozy porch on the north side of the house. The Sun beams play upon the natural stone and wood structure, casting shadows at different hours of the day. The outdoor surrounds are inviting as the quaint interior. You can see the ever changing Sintra mountains in the distance. One can find inspiration in the somewhat monastic and contemplative atmosphere of the space.
