Steve and Sarah
Quinta da Chumbaria – a slice of heaven on a hilltop… We offer two unique and luxurious houses ready to welcome guests. They were originally used to store olive oil and house the oxen employed to work the land. Now they are fully renovated using hemp block insulation to provide a climate controlled, quiet and comfortable living space. In fact they are the first exposed hempcrete houses in Portugal, offering a taste of sustainable eco-building. Surrounded by stunning views and scenery, they are definitely one of a kind. Two Luxurious Options: Choose from our two beautifully restored houses, Two-bed house (Casa da Rosária) and One-bed house (Casa da Eira) each accommodating up to 4 people, or rent both for a larger group gathering. Pets If travelling with pets, please be aware that only the two-bed house is suitable for pets. Unwind and Recharge: Relax on your private terrace, soak in the breathtaking views, and reconnect with nature’s tranquility. Our comfortable accommodations and fully equipped kitchens ensure a relaxing and self-catered stay. Beyond Relaxation: For those seeking a more immersive experience, we’re happy to share our passion for sustainability. Explore the quinta, learn about permaculture principles used to regenerate the land.
Steve and Sarah are the couple responsible for this restoration project and live at Chumbaria full time. Their story has featured in all 3 seasons of the popular television series ‘Help! We Bought a Village’ on Channel 4 UK TV. They moved to Portugal in 2020 to develop a life of regeneration and are bringing the village back to life, since it was abandoned in 1975. Using the ethics of permaculture to help them regenerate the land and learn to live a more simple way of life. They are delighted to be able to now share this amazing place with guests.
Chumbaria is a small village situated in the rolling hills of Central Portugal, dating back many hundreds of years. Situated halfway between Lisbon and Porto, finding Chumbaria is easy by car, bus or train. Just 40 minutes drive from the coast with breathtaking beaches, there are also many fascinating towns and cities to explore within a 60 minutes drive, as well as diverse local countryside offering some perfect places to experience nature, from hiking to swimming in the river beaches. The area has so much to offer…
