O Lagar do Avô is a house within the Kiwi House property, which also includes the main house, Os Ferreirinhos, and the studio O Miminho, each used independently.
The property is in a rural environment of traditional farming, with a wide view of the farmland and mountains. It has been in the family for three generations, as a family home and meeting place for grandparents, children and grandchildren, especially at Christmas.
The house O Lagar do Avô is of modern construction, but its living room preserves an authentic wine press, used by the family for decades, which today evokes the memory of the grandfather. It has an area of around 100 m² and comprises a master bedroom on the ground floor with a double bed (140 × 200 cm) and an open sleeping area on the upper floor, without a door, with three single beds (90 × 180 cm), as well as a living room, two bathrooms, a kitchenette and a terrace.
It also includes air conditioning, a washing machine, a dishwasher, a refrigerator, a ceramic hob, an oven, a microwave and kitchen utensils, as well as bed linen, towels, a heater, Wi-Fi, a TV with international channels and other amenities for a pleasant and relaxing stay.
