VUMBA - House of the Lizard

Vumba's property is divided into 2 cozy guesthouses (The Alembic and The House of the Lizard) and 3 stylish suites (The Bue Maria, The Gorongoza and Beira). All guesthouses have access to a large swimming pool surrounded by a lush garden.

All of our houses have fully equipped kitchens where you can cook your meals, including breakfast, and there are two small supermarkets in the village where you will find most of the basic ingredients. Also in the village and 5 minutes walk from Vumba we have The Churrasqueira with homemade food.

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. We produce the organic cheese "Quinta do Carapinhal" following ancient traditions and provide quality accomodation 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 our grandparents’ memory, by their love for this land and by all the great things they’ve done. We make our best to respect and honor this memory in everything we do.

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