About this property

The wide balcony in the Casa do Vale offers a magnificent view over Cerdeira’s Brook valley. The ideal choice for all of those who treasure tranquillity and direct contact with nature.

The entrance door on the ground floor leads directly into a welcoming social space with a kitchen, a dining table and a cozy living space with a traditional wood burner, an armchair and a sofa bed.

On the first floor, there is a bedroom with a double bed, a working desk - ideal for writers - and a bathroom. The windows welcome the morning sun. If you get lucky you can also see some deer as they rummage through the forest.

A truly inspirational house, enriched by the contribution of ceramists Vasco Baltazar and Zita Rosa.

Like all the other houses in Cerdeira, the Casa do Vale 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.

You can make your stay even more special by booking one of our creative experiences or joining one of the workshops we host throughout the year.

Heaven

It was exactly as described if not way more. Cedeira is one of the most peaceful and beautiful places you can ever go . People are lovely and kind. If it was the only place I could ever go for a break it would be there. Can’t recommend it enough I’ll be back soon.

Why they chose this property

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.
