About this property

Located right in the center of the village, the Casa das Vizinhas testifies to the importance of the neighborly relations and the community spirit that were once the ground stones of these remote mountain villages.

With an adapted bathroom and no obstacles on the ground floor, which also includes a kitchen, a dining table, and a living area with a sofa bed, an armchair, and a traditional wood burner. This house has been planned to satisfy the needs of all those with reduced mobility.

On the second floor, you can find the bedroom with two twin beds, a common area with a sofa bed, a second bathroom, and a desk- ideal for inspired writers. This floor also gives access to a balcony with a stunning view over the village`s entrance, the brook, and the natural dam.

The «vizinhas» in this house, sculpted by artist Kerstin Thomas, keep you company!

Like all the other houses in Cerdeira, the Casa das Vizinhas 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.

Peaceful

Loved our stay. Cerdeira is a beautifully restored village. So relaxing hearing the river and birds singing. We had a light dinner at the cafe both nights. So much easier than driving to a restaurant on the narrow windy roads at night. Cooking in would be a good option too. The hike to Candal is beautiful, but lots of up and down on a rocky path. Recommend one or two nights.

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.
