Rita and her husband Peter inherited this beautiful old country house and poured their hearts into its restoration. They preserved the original charm and antique décor as much as possible, adding just the right modern touches: wide, luxurious beds, elegant new bathrooms (there used to be only one!), intelligent lighting—and, of course, electricity. The result is a space that feels both timeless and supremely comfortable. Rita and Peter warmly welcome you to share in the calm and beauty of this special place.

Terra Verde is a recently restored 19th-century country estate in Central Portugal, where historical elegance meets modern comfort. Nestled between two mountain ranges in a quiet, untouched valley near the charming medieval town of Côja, the property blends traditional architecture with artful vintage décor and bespoke restored furniture. Every detail has been designed to create a calm, inspiring atmosphere—from the intelligent lighting to the antique woodwork and hand-finished materials. Guests are surrounded by nature, with direct access to forest paths, hiking routes, and cycling trails through pristine landscapes. Ideal for nature lovers and those seeking peace, Terra Verde offers a tranquil base to reconnect with yourself and the land. The region is known for its beauty, authenticity, and lack of mass tourism—making it a hidden gem for true rest and gentle exploration

Terra Verde is set on the edge of tiny Pisão, a traditional Portuguese village where life still moves at a gentle rhythm. Just a short drive away lies the charming medieval town of Côja, with its cobbled streets, riverside cafés, and local markets. Nature lovers will be spoiled here: the area offers direct access to walking paths, scenic hiking and cycling trails, and the famous Schist Villages Trail, with the fairytale village of Piódão just nearby. A stunning drive to the Serra da Estrela—the highest and most breathtaking mountain range in Portugal—is an unforgettable experience. This is also a land of authentic flavours: excellent local wines, rustic mountain cheeses, and delicious, time-honoured Portuguese dishes can be enjoyed in the area’s many small restaurants. This is one of the last truly authentic corners of Portugal—untouched by mass tourism, rich in tradition, and surrounded by nature.
