Chalet do Lago | Montargil | Portugal

Exploring the Past to Create a Future: The History of Chalet do Lago

In the heart of Monte da Granja Nova, among majestic pine trees and fertile fields, lies a story of vision, love for the land and a family commitment to the future.

Chalet do Lago, an oasis of tranquility and beauty, is a living testimony to this journey.

EXCLUSIVE EDITION |

EXCLUSIVE EDITION #36 | 37

The story begins in the 1960s, when an extensive 80-hectare estate was mainly dedicated to agriculture and cattle breeding

It was in this scenario that José Pereira da Silva and Florinda de Jesus, with their entrepreneurial vision, decided to acquire part of the Estate.

Initially, they chose to explore the land by planting pine trees, olive trees and cork oaks. But it was with the construction of the National Road that the real transformation began.

His grandfather, a visionary and investor, saw the road as an opportunity to diversify the estate's activities and explore rural tourism.

It was in this scenario that António Joaquim Pereira, his father, and António Pereira, his brother, dreamed together and created homes for holiday rentals, which today give way to the residences of Monte da Granja Nova.

Chalet do Lago, in particular, became the jewel in the crown, integrating harmoniously into the estate's rich past and continuing the family project.

EXCLUSIVE EDITION #36 | 38

For Patrícia Pereira, a young entrepreneur in the tourism sector, Chalet do Lago is more than a commercial venture; It is the realization of a dream shared as a family.

“Without my family’s vision and support, none of this would be possible,” says Patrícia.

"From the beginning, Chalet do Lago was conceived as a family project, with the hope that one day my brothers will also be part of it."

Today, guests are invited to enjoy the charms of nature, taste the fresh fruits of the fields and relax in this true paradise

Chalet do Lago is more than a vacation destination; it is an experience that celebrates history, family and the timeless beauty of country life.

EXCLUSIVE EDITION #36 | 42

With 6 high quality apartments, your stay will be a unique experience, located in the city center allowing you to feel the historic atmosphere that surrounds the city of Guimarães.

As the cradle of the Portuguese nation, Guimarães boasts a rich cultural and architectural heritage that is worth visiting.

The HAGAH apartments, managed by Rudimar and Samuel, are the result of Luís Rosa’s vision, who from the beginning recognized the building’s tourist potential.

Over the course of approximately 4/5 years, the works were carefully carried out by the company Silverline, which contributed to every detail and to overcoming bureaucracy.

EXCLUSIVE EDITION #36 | 50

The choice of the name “HAGAH” came from Rudimar Rosa and Dany Beça, reflecting the aspiration to integrate modernism into the rich History of Guimarães, preserving the city’s distinct characteristics.

Luís Rosa, born in Olalhas-Tomar and resident in Angola for 35 years, who, maintaining his Portuguese roots, identified a promising investment opportunity in Guimarães.

With three floors, the building has six apartments, one of which is a T2 with two terraces, barbecue and a section dedicated to children.

The rest are T0, with an open space kitchen and living room, a bedroom and bathroom.

The accommodations were designed to be comfortable and practical, with modern and cozy elements.

Each apartment was named after a symbol of Guimarães, such as Paço do Duque, Penha, Largo do Toural, the Castle, Largo Oliveira and Praça Santiago.

EXCLUSIVE EDITION |
EXCLUSIVE EDITION #36 | 54

The absolute highlight of Guimarães is its Castle, an imposing fortress that dates back to the 10th century and is considered a symbol of Portugal’s independence.

Guimarães is also known for its charming and lively streets, full of traditional shops, cozy cafes and charming restaurants.You can taste delicious local cuisine, with typical dishes.

Additionally, the city offers a variety of cultural events throughout the year, such as music festivals, medieval fairs and sporting events.

A Dream realization

Terra Rosa is located in the “Quinta de Codeçosa”. A family estate dating back to the year of 1758.

Terra Rosa is located in the “Quinta de Codeçosa”. A family estate dating back to the year of 1758, with a unique environment in Minho and with an unusual size of 70 hectares, 50 of which are vineyards.

The farm has a diverse and unique heritage with several traditional houses of the region, a chapel, a large granary and its threshing square, a pigeon loft and some charming stone tanks.

There is also a river, the Neiva, which moves mills that the farm owns and waters the fields that the farm cultivates.

And all this is accessed by an elegant cypress-lined entrance, between vineyards rigorously traced and laid out

The four main houses seem to form a village that leads to a common square. A Minho manor house, a large house with a chapel and inner courtyard, a schist house with an iron chimney where hops were dried and a house that was once a harvest warehouse.

EXCLUSIVE EDITION | EXCLUSIVE EDITION #36 | 73

The Quinta and its houses still preserve the marks of time and activities and the functions that a working farm in Minho still has and wants to conserve.

The recovery of the Quinta started with Casa do Lúpulo and Casa das Colheitas and a generously-sized outdoor swimming pool heated to 30 degrees.

Casa do Lúpulo has seven rooms, three of them suites with bedroom and living room, a kitchen and a large living and dining room for breakfast and light meals

The second house that we have been renovating, Casa das Colheitas, will serve as support facility for our guests, for wine tasting, handicraft and cooking workshops and for events held on the Quinta such as weddings, christenings, birthday parties, team buildings, exhibitions, and other activities.

EXCLUSIVE EDITION | EXCLUSIVE EDITION #36 | 74

Pride in a living past

In 2017, as the result of several fatherdaughter conversations, the dream began to come to life and take shape the plan to transform Quinta de Codeçosa into an agritourism facility.

Francisco Rosa and his daughter Eliana Rosa wanted to share the beauty of their Quinta and its vineyards, and so was born the Terra Rosa Country House & Vineyards.

Eliana, the hostess who will be in charge of Terra Rosa and welcome the guests is also responsible for the recovery project and interior design of Terra Rosa.

Her personal touch can be found everywhere, from the choice of the wood used in the house to the furniture and objects from various corners of the world, collected on her travels and as a result of her connection with the decoration business.

Francisco Rosa’s great passion, his vineyards, comes when he started the project to renovate the farm and implement it vineyards more than 15 years ago

His pioneering vision and economies of scale mindset, with years of dedication and commitment, managed to transform Quinta de Codeçosa into the largest producer of vinho verde of the Ponte Lima Cooperative Winery, as its 50 hectares of vineyard produced 1000 barrels

He is responsible for the development of the vineyards in integrated production and the plantation of most of the existing vines.

EXCLUSIVE EDITION #36 | 75

Pride in a living past

Quinta de Codeçosa was bought from the Viscounts of Venade in 1948 by António da Silva Rosa and Laura de Araújo Martins, Francisco’s parents. The estate dates back to 1758, which is the date inscribed in its chapel.

António Rosa, with his vision as an industrialist and entrepreneur, soon realised that the land needed to be improved and be made productive. Thus, the work began “with shovel and pick” on the fields of very irregular slope considered impossible for cultivation.

Laura de Araújo Martins made an effort to guarantee the livelihoods of the 7 families living and working on the farm while also ensuring the profitability of the property.

Later, investments were made in apple, with an intensive production system This was followed by the planting of hops, which was planted over 10 hectares, and later vineyards

The farm today has a modern agricultural system that preserves natural resources and has all the regulating mechanisms for high quality production. It contributes to sustainable agriculture with integrated production, giving value to biodiversity and environmental balance.

EXCLUSIVE EDITION | EXCLUSIVE EDITION #36 | 77

A Quinta de Codeçosa

The Vineyard and integrated production

The estate’s main production is the vineyard. Its production of about 700 tons of grapes, mainly the Loureiro and Vinhão grape varieties, which correspond to 1000 barrels of wine, is delivered to the Ponte de Lima Cooperative Winery, which takes on the important mission of transforming its fruit.

With its 70 hectares of land, 50 of which are entirely dedicated to the vineyard, it is not surprising that the farm is the largest producer of Adega Cooperativa de Ponte de Lima.

At Quinta da Codeçosa they care about the preservation of natural resources, the regulation of the ecosystem, animal welfare, the promotion of biodiversity, the balance of the nutrient cycle, the preservation and improvement of soil fertility and the demand for the quality of agricultural products.

The vineyards are managed in integrated production, adopting good agricultural practices that guarantee a sustainable balance.

EXCLUSIVE EDITION | EXCLUSIVE EDITION #36 | 78

Rooms & Suites

We find the seven rooms of the farm, three of them suites with living room, in Casa do Lúpulo, a house built of schist where the hops used to be dried.

The house has a large iron chimney that was kept because it draws attention to the industrial past and is a way of perpetuating and paying homage to the industrial roots of the Quinta's owners.

The rooms with names inspired by the architectural elements of the farm, invite us to savour the tranquillity of the pace of nature in a symbiosis between the past and the future.
