On the southern slope of Serra da Estrela (protected area of the Natural Park), 800m altitude in the valley of Cortes river / Penhas da Saúde and Varanda dos Pastores, is located Quinta do Circo.

The name "" Quinta do Circo "" derives from "" Quinta do Cerco "" property surrounded by shepherds paths / canadas . The convenience of language led people to use "" Circo "" instead of ""Cerco "" and if secularly was called “Quinta do Circo”, will remain so , in respect for tradition and the use of popular language .

The river at the bottom of the farm, with natural pools in the summer and the sound of its waters in winter, the snow, cover in white throughout the farm, the surrounding vegetation and the houses of the village, the saw cut in land terraces, still farmed, the Varanda dos Pastores and the grandiosity of Serra da Estrela which stands before us, the canadas (shepherds paths) still marked, the village lit up at, make this property a unique place.

The tinkling of sheep bells grazing on the hills in front of the Houses and the birds chirping are the sounds that awaken the morning on.

Here you can enjoy unforgettable moments of peace and harmony with nature and learn about natural heritage of outstanding beauty.
