Located in the peaceful village of Carrascal, within the municipality of Ferreira do Zêzere, the Casa do Adro Garden benefits from a genuine rural setting. Its name, "do Adro" (of the churchyard), reveals its privileged position next to the local churchyard, placing it at the heart of this small settlement. This positioning offers an authentic perspective on community life and the landscape surrounding the village.
The geographical surroundings are marked by the tranquility of inland Portugal, far from urban hustle, providing an environment where calm and tradition remain visible in daily life. From this location, one can enjoy the characteristic quietness of Carrascal and the simple beauty of the surrounding landscape.
The main structure, known as Casa do Adro, is an example of traditional regional architecture. Built in stone, it reflects the heritage and character of local dwellings, which over time have adapted to the landscape and the community's way of life. Its presence in the churchyard suggests a historical and symbolic link with the center of social and religious life in the village of Carrascal.
The house stands out for its solidity and timeless charm, evoking a past where every stone told a story. It is an element that harmonizes with the landscape, contributing to the atmosphere of authenticity that can be felt in this place.
The most striking and inviting element of this place is its garden. Carefully designed to be a space of serenity, it invites contemplation and relaxation. Along its paths, visitors find a variety of plant species that blossom and intertwine, creating nooks of shade and quietude.
This green space is an invitation to disconnect, where the aroma of plants and the singing of birds create a natural symphony. The garden serves as a true refuge, a point where nature and local culture meet, providing moments of peace and an enriching sensory experience for those who wander through it.
