Casa dos Araújos is a manor house built in 1880 and preserved within the same family for several generations. With its typical stone architecture and a valuable collection of original pieces passed down through the years, it offers an authentic and distinctive experience. Every stone, every piece, and every detail tell the story of a bygone era, making this place brilliantly unique and full of Transmontano identity. It combines the charm and history of a centuries-old space with all the modern comforts, including air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and television, providing an elegant and comfortable stay in the heart of Trás-os-Montes. Here, every stay is an opportunity to experience the tradition and soul of the region, in an environment where past and present meet in harmony.
Welcoming guests to Casa dos Araújos is more than just a job, it is a true privilege. I grew up seeing this house full of life and stories, and with the same care, I now open its doors to everyone who visits. My goal is for guests to feel at home, discover the charm of our region, and leave with unforgettable memories.
Casa dos Araújos is located in the charming village of Frechas, a picturesque and peaceful destination in the heart of Trás-os-Montes, ideal for those seeking nature, authenticity, and tradition. Just a few steps away is the Frechas River Beach, perfect for relaxing days by the Tua River. Only 7 km away is Mirandela, known for its gastronomy, riverside cafés, and welcoming atmosphere. Vila Flor is just 16 km away, with its historical heritage, flower-filled streets, and viewpoints offering panoramic views over the Transmontano hills. The region also includes the Vale do Tua Regional Natural Park, a protected area of more than 24,000 hectares, known for its mountain landscapes, deep valleys, and unique “Terra Quente” vegetation. It is an ideal destination for hiking, nature walks, and observing flora and fauna. Along the valley, several natural viewpoints offer breathtaking views of the river and landscape, perfect for photography and contemplation. Thanks to the low light pollution, Frechas is also perfect for astrotourism, where the night sky reveals itself with extraordinary clarity, allowing you to observe stars, constellations, and planets in rare detail. This natural and cultural setting makes Casa dos Araújos the perfect starting point for exploring the true essence of northern Portugal.
