Customer Reviews
The legendary village was empty when I visited it. The most interesting thing is that there is a walking trail from the castle of Lousa and most of the tourists don't know about its existence.
One of the beautiful schist villages in Lousã that you'll fall in love with as soon as you arrive ☺️
The passage through the road, almost escapes us the presence of the Casal Novo. The village develops in the slope fold, in a sharp slope, oriented to the north, and the tree surrounding the village does not allow one to perceive its profile. The urban mesh corresponds almost exclusively to the axis created by the path that crosses the village in the ascending-descendant direction, and that the connection to the Sanctuary of Nª Srª da Piedade. Two or three perpendicular alleys and a few side entrances in public enjoyment spaces break the continuum of buildings that, on one and the other side, are curved. From the thin of the village you can observe Lousã and its castle.
