About this property

The charming Casa do Sol lies in the very heart of the village and is the first house to greet the sun as it shines on its intimate balcony with a view over the village’s roofs.

It has a welcoming living room on the ground floor, with a sofa bed and armchair by the wood burner, as well as a dining area and a kitchen.

On the first floor, you will find a desk, a room with two twin beds, and a bathroom. It is also on this floor that you will find the balcony, ideal for reading, relaxing, or enjoying a glass of wine or a cup of tea.

The artistic creations by João Gomes turn the Casa do Sol into the ideal place for daydreaming.

Like all the other houses in Cerdeira, the Casa do Sol has been restored using ecological and regional materials and favoring the use of local contractors. All houses have central heating and offer great comfort, both in winter and summer. To guarantee that you make the most out of the village’s quietness, we have chosen not to install TVs or radio in any of the houses.

CERDEIRA - HOME FOR CREATIVITY
THE REBIRTH OF A VILLAGE

Hidden away in a small valley at 700m above sea level, Cerdeira was a village of schist houses at risk of disappearing after agricultural activity was abandoned in the middle of the 20th Century. Almost 300 years old, the village was built by courageous people, farmers who lived off the land and who, even if they left in search of a better life for their families, would always come back and visit their home.

Today, Cerdeira has new stories to tell, of new inhabitants who have, will their persistence and willpower, breathed life and purpose back into this place, of men and women who have knowledgeably restored the houses and made them comfortable, as a 21st-century house should be, of guests who choose the village to spend their holidays, and of artists from all over the world who come in search of inspiration. Cerdeira is now one of 27 villages that make up the network of Aldeias do Xisto.

In 2000, two families that had been friends for years decided to unite in the recovery of some houses of the village. Gradually, the Cerdeira Village project started to gain form and meaning. In 2006, the Arts festival "Elementos à Solta" was held, idealized by one of the project co-founders. In 2012, the Cerdeira Village project started, which in 2018 became Cerdeira - Home for Creativity.
