Host

Equipa Cerdeira Home for Creativity

Situated in the beautiful mountains of Serra da Lousã, in central Portugal, Cerdeira is the perfect Schist Village for your next getaway. Here, the unique relationship between nature, art and comfort offers the freedom to live, relax and create in a truly authentic way.

The Cerdeira Home for Creativity project emerged from the love and affection of two families who decided to rebuild the traditional houses of the village, maintaining their authenticity and uniqueness. These two families were joined by several people who are in the village every day to welcome you with a smile.
