Description
When a singer and a cook come together and start a community in the mountains of Serra da Lousa, there are many evenings with delicious food and good music sessions. Musicians welcome.
We live in a nearly abounded village in the mountains of Serra da Lousa. Its on 680 m above sea level and the arrea is full of water. We restore and renovate houses in the ancient way with just lime/clay wood and stones - we use no concrete. This is very importation to us. And hydraulic lime, we use no single piece of plastic for our traditional houses. Peoeple can have experiance, but they must be interested in that issue, best is as enthusiastic as us.
We are a strong team or carpeneteers, masons and timbermen, a comunity of young people with kids. We use no contret, just stones, wood and clay/lime. In April we start with an new project and from that time on we offer a monthly stay to adjust us. We do wooden roofs and build up the stone walls.
During the year we have changing guests and friends who come arround for a visit.
Learn how to restore old stone houses in the trational way. We have a fully furnished carpentry. Learn about traditional water managment and bulding water retention basins. Agroforest and permaculture is the future of the area. We do tasks everyday - some more intense some relelaxed, but always with joy and fun.
Wonderfull mountain area with rivers, lakes and amazing hiking routes - Praia Fluvials and other highlights are close by and nice to visit. Everybody will have a own room, space and privacy. Looking forward to meet you.
