Casa do Braçal is a family property located on the banks of the Alvoco River (source in Serra da Estrela) and at the lower base of the Açor and Estrela Mountains, 1,418m and 2,000m, respectively.
This region is fascinating to spend some very peaceful days, enjoying a wonderful river without any pollution and a salt swimming pool 15 meters long. In addition, many walks can be made on foot and by bicycle, whether mountain or road. By bike, you can take trips with 1,800 and 1,000 meters of difference in level and you can climb to Capela do Colcurinho, which is 1,244 meters away.
Casa do Braçal also has several spots, either at the front by the pool or at the back, not counting the living room and the fireplace in the very traditional kitchen.
Casa do Braçal has 10 solar panels to charge electric cars 100% green energy.
For sure will be days well spent in the wonderful region of Beira Serra of Portugal.

About Our Family
I'm Portuguese, I'm 65 years old and I live in Casa do Braçal, the place where my father was born, with my wife Cristiana Maria, who I've been married to for 35 years. We have two sons who live in Lisbon, Vasco is 34 years old and Francisca is 30 years old. We stopped working recently and now we are looking for other adventures, in addition to doing what we love most, which is watching movies, listening to music, watching musical concerts, among other cultural activities and hiking.
