RURAL HOTEL QUINTA MADRE DE ÁGUA
Nature in it's
pure state

The Farm
All farms have a history. This one begins in 2007, with a couple, Luis and Lurdes returning to their roots, through a sustainable project that respects nature, man, art and traditions. The trips they made with some regularity to Lurdes’s mother’s village – Vinhó, municipality of Gouveia, at the foot of the Serra da Estrela – they made their decision to acquire a property there. In the region there are stunning sceneries, authentic live portraits dominated by valleys of fertile lands.
The dream emerged with the acquisition of Farm Madre de Água – Hotel Serra da Estrela(License RNET nº 1408), with 16 hectares, where there existed some buildings in granite stone, a 40 year old vineyard plot, many olive trees, oak trees, chestnut trees, pine trees, century-old cherry trees, rock formations from the Glacier era and many water wells. This is the Farm that gives the name to the project Madre de Água, in which the logo represents an image of water crystals.

Our Mission
It is obvious that one cannot forget to mention that one of the main reasons for all of this passion is the love that Lurdes has for animals. At a very young age she began to defend animal causes, with particular focus on stray dogs. Thus, in this project spaces and conditions were created to receive animals that are now a part of the daily routine of the property. It is for all of these reasons that visiting Farm Madre de Água – Hotel Serra da Estrela (License RNET nº 1408) is not only visiting a simple farm. There is much to see, feel and discover. Because it was all done with great passion, respect for nature and for animals. And because its mission and social responsibility is also to make known this way of life.
