The area
Quinta nas Colinas is located at the foot of the Serra da Gardunha, just next to Serra da Estrela with wonderful trails to walk. The next village over one way, Casal da Fraga, has a spring that offers superb fresh, local water to fill up your bottles and comes with a seating area with picknick tables and a trail up the Serra da Gardunha. The next village on the other side, Almaceda, has a River Beach. Several lakes for swimming are nearby and a little further by car brings you to the historic villages like Castelo Novo or Monsanto. The village of São Vicente da Beira has an outdoor swimming pool in summer time. A large outside pool can be found in Castelo Branco. Larger cities in the area include Fundão (known for it's cherries, Castelo Branco and Covilha).

Eco
With 12 solar panels, Quinta nas Colinas provides a large part of it's energy on the land itsself, the rest is green energy from the grid. Over time the land will develop into a sustainable, biodiverse land in the philosophy of permaculture. This will include goats, chicken and a larger scale vegetable garden too, once more settled. Local honey and jam is offered from surrounding mountain villages.
