Designed by the young architects Bernardo Castro and Filipe Gonçalves, Barbosa e Castro, Lda., this bold and ambitious architectural project ended its reconstruction and expansion in 2020. With the partnership between the civil engineer Rui Miguel Santos and the interior designer Ana Sofia Silva, Encosta do Sobreiro emerged and brought to this rural village, a touch of modernity that perfectly blends within the beautiful green valleys and mountains.
