MONDIM DA BEIRA

Where everything is made of stone.
except the heart

At Casas da Memória, nestled at the foot of the Santa Helena mountain range, we offer charming accommodation in five exclusive houses, perfect for romantic getaways, family vacations, or special moments with friends. Set within a property spanning over 5 hectares, our rural houses combine comfort, nature, and history in a serene and inspiring setting. Here you will find an outdoor swimming pool, tennis court, Olympic-sized riding arena, and romantic picnic areas, surrounded by the sounds of running water and the aromas of the countryside.

HOUSES

Spaces with meaning
and space for everyone

All our houses retain the patina, authenticity, and memory of bygone eras, yet they meet the most demanding needs for comfort. They embrace rustic simplicity as their most luxurious treasure and appeal to a rhythm that follows the cycles of the surrounding nature. Here, the calendar adjusts less to the hours of the clock than to the tasks of the fields. There is the time for olives, the time for vines, the time for walnuts and chestnuts, persimmons and kiwis, sowing and harvesting. It also adjusts to the rhythm of human life, but in a way that appeals to what truly matters: the leisure to appreciate and the ability to enjoy.
