House Sleeps4Bedrooms2Bathrooms3Minimum Stay2 nightsThe Casa dos Barcos, an old boat pavilion, is part of an estate created in the XIX century by José do Canto, a local aristocrat, that married the rich Morgada Maria Guilhermina Taveira Brum da Silveira in 1814. José do Canto implemented many projects from leading botanical, landscape and architectural firms in leading European cities such as London and Paris for the complete estate (600 Ha at the time of his death) that can still be enjoyed today. The estate currently has about100 Ha of forest of which 8 Ha are landscaped. Located near the Casa dos Barcos is the Capela da Nossa Senhora das Vitórias, a chapel built in the late XIX century that serves as the estate founders mausoleum.
The chapel, designed by A. Breton and A. Bonett, two architects from the City of Paris Municipality, represents one of the few neo-gothic projects existent in Portugal. The Casa do Lago, a French-Swiss chalet designed by George Aumont in 1867, is located on the opposite side from the Casa dos Barcos. The current owners of the estate, Margarida Jácome Correia and her husband Henrique de Aguiar Oliveira Rodrigues currently use this house as their weekend retreat and summer vacation house. The architect of the Casa dos Barcos is unknown but the house follows a Nordic (Anglo-Flemish) style as indicated by the roof design.
It is estimated that the Casa dos Barcos was the first one to be built in 1860, at the time when the original estate was planned. The Mata-Jardim located behind the house was created following a plan developed by the architect Brailett Deschamps (1824-1875) and represents an important botanical legacy to the region. It contains a diversity of landscapes defined by various walk paths, the Salto do Rosal water stream, and diverse plant species imported from leading world plant nurseries. Today you can enjoy the Vale dos Fetos landscaped in the middle of the XX century by Ernesto Hintze Ribeiro following the original design. The Alameda das Camélias, a walk path filled with old Camellia trees is another estate attraction, sought after by Camellia lovers from various countries, especially during the December-March blooming season.
The Casa dos Barcos has two suites, each consisting of a double bed-room with private living room and bathroom, one in the ground floor facing the lake, and the other in the top-floor, with a view of the Chapel. The ground floor also contains a living room equipped with TV, telephone, and Internet connection, a fully equipped kitchen and a bathroom, for the common use of all guests. The top-floor also contains a game room. The entire house is equipped with central heating, which provides for a comfortable stay during the winter months. Extra beds can be made available upon request and for an additional fee.
