Visit the Quinta das Sesmarias - Alcains

Quinta das Sesmarias is currently a rural tourism space and is located on the urban outskirts of the village of Alcains, being a property with 3.5ha that maintains the rural characteristics of the early twentieth century. The first construction dates back to 1928 and was recovered in 2002 in the form of a dwelling.
Quinta das Sesmarias allows a close contact with nature, where the silence of the countryside can be interrupted by the cuckoo singing in the spring, and the observation of birds and rabbits in perfect harmony with their habitat or even the exhibitionist poses of peacocks and pheasants in captivity. The farmhouse thus invites to contemplation and rest, where the well-being of the visitors deserves all the attention.
