Quinta do Outeiro 1598
Quinta do Outeiro is our home.
It was born out of a sharing that gave rise to a dream. It was born out of the desire to welcome all those who want to enjoy a unique place, where the tranquillity and beauty of nature blend in with the singularity of the architecture.
Quinta do Outeiro was founded in 1598 and the project to renovate the house was designed by architect Eduardo Souto de Moura. The result is a perfect combination of past and present.
Come and visit our House and let yourself be enchanted by this very special place that we want to share with you.
Inês and Sebastião
"Quinta do Outeiro House was not an easy project. In architecture there are no easy projects. Here the problem wasn't the local authority's, the engineers' or the client's, it was ours alone. Our hesitation in restoring a farmhouse, with animal courts on the ground floor, to build a hotel. The alternative was to use the old stones, which were good and available, to build a new house.
We hesitated, made mock-ups, went ahead, went back and decided on a new building with the old stones. Come to think of it, this is the 21st century.
The result was "fair". We use the word "fair", which belongs to the field of ethics, so as not to say that it was "beautiful", which belongs to aesthetics, and may sound pretentious. The interior turned out well, with furniture chosen and designed by us, and some points of the exterior spaces were finished, which we made on site, on a natural scale."
