The Casa de Requeixo emerges from a distant time which is the sixteenth century and carries all the history that allows you to bear this age.
Built on a vast estate that still stands the manour of the Vieira e Brito, it is a house also representative of a lifestyle of other times.
Recovered for the Rural Tourism in 1985, it was with much care and concern that we preserve the main features of the house, using and recovering old materials.
Therefore, and in the words of many of our visitors, the house retains its soul. Throughout these years of service to Rural Tourism, interventions were made in order to adapt the space needs of comfort and leisure of our times.

The main house has four double rooms, all with double bed and private bathroom. The living room, equipped with stove and TV serves the occupants of the rooms.
In the dining room, equipped with stove we serve breakfast. The same room can be used by the occupants of the house for their own meals.
The kitchen, good sized, fully equipped, is the preparation room for breakfast and is also available to guests.
There are also two apartments equipped with double bedroom, bathroom and lounge with small kitchen.
In the rooms and apartments is always possible to place extra bed for a maximum of two children.
For children up to 3 years old, we offer free beds.
All cars are parked in our private park.
Wireless internet is available inside the house and parts of the garden.

The Casa de Requeixo and the estate in which it belongs offer a package of rural activities intended to promote contact with some activities already unusual in the large urban areas.
Our eight horses Raça Garrana allow the performance of unforgettable horseback riding, adapted to the willingness and ability of riders. The youngest rider was 5 years old and the older had already 84. This is an activity subject to prior consultation and marking. All tours are accompanied with a guide.
Our poultry consists of several species, allows you to collect eggs and watch the different birds in different stages of their life.
Producing certified organic agriculture, it is with great pleasure that we share fresh products produced there with our visitors. In addition they can be harvested and used in cooking, also allow you to experience some of the operations performed in their production.
The outdoor swimming pool, fully protected by a fence, brings pleasant moments of leisure on the hottest days.
The lawns and gardens provide rest and relaxation. But they can also be used to practice some sports where parents and children share moments of joy.
Visit our small museum with a collection of objects and clothing that allow an idea of how they lived and worked in rural areas in time more or less distant.
