Company information

Coming from urban lives, but in love with nature and with rurality living in the childhood memory, we found in Chão do Rio, at Travancinha, a place that makes us feel complete, where smiles come from inside and happiness happens in the simple things of life. Here we have created the roots that we didn't had and here we dream of living one day!

Property information

In Chão do Rio – turismo de aldeia, we live a time out of time, the time of the simple things. Here the magic is felt among the mighty oaks, the strange animal tracks, or at the “mushroom forest” that apears after each rain ... The houses seem to have always been there and that we just have gave them the form they already had before we could see them ... Here the eyes open themselves widely with amazement and close themselves so that we can hear better the laughter of the children playing freely ... or just to find peace inside...

Neighbourhood information

Travancinha is the village where we find Chão do Rio. Planted at the foothills of the mountains, between Seia and Oliveira do Hospital. Here the mountains have an impressive presence behind the beautiful church of Travancinha. Sunny, with granite houses, the village is surrounded by meadows, olive groves and forests of pine trees. Here we find increadible trails to walk around. Certainly, life is not always easy in this interior village, but solidarity and joy that live in the hearts of its habitants are the weapons that unite the people against adversity and that warmly welcome those who pass by.
