basalt stones. Pieces of traditional furniture in harmony with other modern pieces create a very

CASAS DO PÁTIO
The Casas do Pátio are situated at Sao Pedro Nordestinho a rural village, where the relation between the
humanized landscape and nature still presents a valuable balance. The primitive buildings were built in
the 19th century, in the typical architecture of the area, are made up of a main house and an agricultural
addition. They were surrounded by cultivated land and orchards which served as subsistence farming for
the family. At the time of the acquisition the buildings were in a degraded condition. In their restoration
the existing was recovered and new buildings were added to assure comfortable living conditions.
Now, Casas do Pátio are composed of two independent lodging units, a Casa do Tanque and a A
Arribana, the latter an adaptation of the former agriculture addition.
Outside there is a carefully kept garden with amazing views of the sea and mountains, a swimming pool
with deck, from where one can enjoy magnificent sunsets, a croquet court and a veranda with
barbecue.
Each House has also satellite TV, DVD player, Hi-FI system, small library and games (chess, draughts and
cards).
Comfort and balance, are to be found in the decor, both inside and out, with traditional and modern
furnishing, combining harmoniously with the ancestral stones of these Houses.
At their arrival, the guests will find bread and homemade jams, milk, coffee, tea, fruit, water, butter and
cheese. In each house there are also some basic grocery items.
CASAS DO PÁTIO - CASA DO TANQUE
