## About this property

### Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

### Casa da Bemposta (former haystack)

A house for 5 Pax, situated in a historic area dating back to the founding of Portugal, where there are many traces of Roman occupation.   
Points of interest in the village Pelourinho, Castle, Churches, Archaeological Museum, Fountains, etc.  
The landscape is rough but fabulous  
And has a few km historical villages such as Monsanto, Penha Garcia, Proença-a-Velha, Idanha-a-Velha, and others.  
It is inserted in the nature reserve of Serra da Estrela.
