Vumba Agritourism

Vumba is a 140-hectare property occupying a beautiful valley of green pastures and charming groves. The beauty of the landscape is emphasized by the imposing mountains surrounding the region. On the horizon, you can see, in a full, uninterrupted 360º sweep, the peaks of the Estrela Mountains (to the east), the Açor and Lousã Mountains (to the south), the Buçaco Mountains (to the west), and the Caramulo Mountains (to the north).

Vumba's property is divided into 3 cozy guesthouses (The Alambique, The House of the Lizard, The Owl's Nest) and 2 stylish suites (The Bue Maria and The Gorongoza). All guesthouses have access to a lounge with a dining room and kitchen and a large swimming pool surrounded by a lush garden. The bathing season opens on May 15th and closes on September 30th.

The estate has several roads and trails, as well as five idyllic ponds. Isolated from the outside world, here you will find the ideal combination of natural resources to let you enjoy nature and to experience a truly rural lifestyle.

Vumba is a small, family-owned company, engaged in maintaining traditions and providing a highly professional and personalized service. They produce the organic cheese "Quinta do Carapinhal" following ancient traditions and provide quality accommodation in a rural environment. Vumba’s logo is a leaf of an oak, a deciduous tree with a long gestation period, that always did well in this region. The oak symbolizes our respect for tradition and continuity as well as renewal.

In fact, Vumba is highly influenced by grandparents’ memory, by their love for this land and by all the great things they’ve done. The owners make their best to respect and honor this memory in everything they do.

Vumba Agrotourism also offers the following activities (depending on the time of year and the availability of our staff): Goat Safari, cheese factory tour, Shepherd for a day, make your own cheese, foraging for mushrooms, Olive picking, and E-bike rentals.
