About this cottage rental

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.

This is our 4th time to stay at Casa da Encosta in the central region of Portugal. The hosts Nuno and Rita and their boys have become our very dear friends. We believe this to be the best place to stay in all of Portugal with the best hosts of Portugal one could ever find. The house is an authentic restored Shist Village home that is built out of the rocks in the earth. The inside is very natural and eclectic with a beautiful history of Portugal displayed, to stay in this house is a once in a lifetime opportunity that a person will not regret, especially if you understand the importance of what this house stands for. A beautiful picture of Portuguese history. There are many beautiful river beaches very close that our family has enjoyed and the most amazing food within a 10 min. A small cafe for daily bread and cafe.Fresh bread, dessert and items made from the village await you on arrival. There are three beautiful stories in this home and the beautiful rock and natural use of wood within the structure is breathtaking! With the modern fresh and minimalist decor it is just a very cool place!

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.

We love this house! It is our third stay with Nuno in his beautiful home in the village! We highly recommend this experience in the small villages of Portugal. With amazing food and beauty. There are many local restaurants, cafe/bars, river beaches, hiking, and discoveries! We will be back as soon as we can. We miss it already! We have a small family but this home will accommodate from a small family to a large one. It has a beautiful and fully equipped kitchen and bathroom with everything you need. The village people are lovely and helpful. There are local products and handmade bread and desert on arrival to the home. Nuno is always available for anything you would ever need. If you are considering this house it is the best choice in this area of Portugal. Nuno is the best host anyone could ever ask for. The authenticity of the home to the local Portuguese traditional style with an updated modern flare is something that is unmatched anywhere else.
