| Fermentelos, Portugal: Fermentelos is a village with an interesting traditional culture of custodianship vis-à-vis the greatest natural lagoon of the Iberic Peninsula that bears its name. Quite near cities like Aveiro and its coastal beaches, it stands in the limit of Bairrada's region. Our home is an exquisite example of the eclectic earthen architecture of the end of 19th century and is located in the very center of the village, proudly displaying an informal but critically museological setting at the ground-floor! |

Excursions and Local Attractions
Above all, a privileged access to the whereabouts of the greatest natural lagoon of the Iberic Peninsula, but also the possibility to check the beautiful city of Aveiro (so called Portuguese Venice!) or the renowned Coimbra University - and that's just for instance, as we're standing in the center of Portugal we're near almost everything!
