More about the Santar Garden Village
Here granite marks its presence and transforms itself in a profusion of walls, fountains, tanks, and manor houses, along with agricultural, rustic, and religious buildings. Behind these walls, lie gardens on terraces and kilometres of hedges in carved boxwood – including the beloved carreiras of Beira – hidden tanks. Fountains are heard and rose gardens and vineyards are opened up.
The Beira’s light and clean air embrace this background in a very distinct manner. This is probably the biggest secret of these noble houses that carry ancient names such as Melo Vasconcellos e Souza, Ibérico Nogueira, Portugal Leal de Loureiro, Cunhas, Pais do Amaral, Bragança, Almeida Castelo Branco, Silveira Pinto, Amaral Reis.
The timeless principles espoused by Fernando Caruncho, landscape designer, as well as the serene dormant nature of each place, made him an obvious choice to become this project’s “gardener”, as he likes to call himself.
Visitors are able to go out and discover the secrets, the views, the heritage, the stories, the people, and the traditions of one of the country’s oldest and best-preserved villages, all through its gardens. Enjoy its charm!
