PNM-BACEIRO

MONTESINHO NATURAL PARK

Casa dos Marrões is located right in the middle of Montesinho Natural Park (created in 1979 with an area of 75,000 ha) - Area of the river Baceiro. It is surrounded by dazzling landscapes of century old oak and chestnut tree woods ("touças and soutos"). Cold and clear rivers flow between fresh and green meadows.

It is a perfect and privileged lodgement for nature lovers, allowing to admire the richness of local fauna (wolf, fox, white stork, wild board, otter, deer ...) – there are 48 mammal species among 240 vertebrate species - and flora (holm-oak, ash-trees, broom, heather, spurge-laurel, rosemary.....). Our visitors will find in the hospitality and kidness of the local people and in the local gastronomy additional reasons for exploring this region, which for its singularity and preservation, led to its integration in a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
