Casas da Encosta, Shale Houses, Accommodation in Shale Village - Free Wifi

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.

Great characterful property, very helpful host.
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.

Estadia agradável, paisagem reconfortante
Exploração do local e arredores. Faço uma nota de que para crianças pequenas era bom que houvesse proteção de escada, quef a nível de portas quer a nivel de redução dos pilaretes de suporte do corrimão. Ex. Se entrar a cabeça, entr o corpo e qualquer desatenção pode ser grave. No geral não há criticas.

Escapadela 5 estrelas
Uma casa de xisto incrustada na encosta de um pequena Aldeia de xisto! Simplesmente fabuloso! O conforto proporcionado pela Casa de Xisto e a sua recuperação em madeira é de um aconchego por demais. A vista da casa sob a Aldeia e para a serra que a envolve é de uma imensa beleza, os cheiros, os sons da Ribeira e da passarada desperta os sentidos de todos os que visitaram esta Aldeia e ficaram neste Alojamento. A repetir decididamente!!!

Uma Aldeia de xisto parada no tempo e com os seus habitantes cheios de carinho e sabedoria para esbanjar a que visita está Aldeia. Um local a regressar certamente!!

The best authentic Portuguese village experience.
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.

Um experiência de aldeia genuína mas com todo o conforto!
Fomos os 6, 3 crianças e um cão! Casa de Xisto muito bem equipada, com toda a comodidade mas ainda assim genuína e com decoração incorporando a vida na aldeia. Local super calmo e deslumbrante com muitas praias fluviais óptimas bem perto, notamos a pouca afluência de gente(para agosto), para nos foi fantástico disfrutar de tudo isto quase só pra nos mas ficamos tristes pelos locais, que além dos fogos ainda sofrem pela ausência de turistas, venham que a zona è linda e foi pouco tocada pelos fogos!

Tranquilidade em familia
Gostámos imenso de conhecer a Casa da Encosta. A casa é giríssima, muito bem decorada, inserida numa Aldeia muito simpática e muito sucegada. As praias fluviais ficam a poucos km's de carro e são igualmente bonitas e tranquilas. Única coisa que não gostámos foi do fato de que todos os restaurantes recomendados estão fechados durante a semana e funcionam mediante marcação para grupos.

Obrigatório relaxar!
Uma casa muito bem recuperada, com paredes exteriores de Xisto e um interior onde predominam a madeira e o xisto numa arquitectura muito agradável, aliada a uma decoração simples mas também bastante agradável, e uma boa dose de conforto. Com todas as comodidades necessárias para uma estadia relaxada. Com excelentes vistas sobre a aldeia... bastante agradáveis aos olhos e à alma. De salientar também o cabaz de boas vindas recheado de produtos tradicionais maravilhosos...o pão...a fruta...os doces de fruta...os licores, em particular o licor de medronho...o azeite...tudo delicioso. Já para não falar do jantar na Casa Ti'Augusta, na aldeia de Figueira... aquele "Afogado da Boda" estava de comer e chorar por mais...tudo acompanhado de uma explicação sobre a história e a confecção dos pratos da gastronomia local...uma excelente forma de aumentarmos a nossa própria cultura! E a simpatia dos proprietários, quer da casa, quer do restaurante, foi excecional! Uma experiência a repetir...sem dúvida!

taaao bom!
Partilhamos a casa a 5 e passamos uma excellente semana de descanço, boa comida e praias fluviais. A reserva da casa/ entrega de chaves correu muito bem e de forma muito simples, obrigada ao proprietàrio que sempre se mostrou atentivo, compreensivo e simpatico. A casa é girissima e "fofa" sem contudo ser demasiado pequena e tem tudo o que se precisa ( a nao ser rede e wi-fi o que para mim calhava muito bem!). A casa estava impecàvel à nossa chegada e até nos tinham deixado alguns essenciais (lava loiça, lenha para o churrasco...) bem como produtos regionais (muito bons!!). Penso que sinceramente so poderia apontar que o frigorifico é pequeno para 5 mas a nao ser isso...foi tudo excellente! A aldeia é tudo o que ha de mais calmo e silencioso (a nao ser o sino da igreja e os dias de festas em agosto) e as praias fluviais sao lindissimas. Recomendo e espero regressar! Disfrutem!
