  • This unique Casa do Penedo located in Central Portugal was orginaly built as a defense castle tower by the Moorish somehere betweern the 8th and 9th century. After that it took on many rolls, like a religieus place, one of the first government buildings in the region and tourist accomadation. Ofcourse it has now been classified as a monument. It has been completely renovated by the owner who is an architect, who was able to maintain the strong spirit and energy of the house.
    Rui Vasques, has been living in Casa do Penedo for the past 1,5 years with is girlfriend Laura (who now is a abroad for while) and their dog Madragoa. If you want to know more about Rui's organisation Live With Earth, you can visit the website here www.livewithearth.org/
    If you are wanting to know more about unique propeties here in Portugal or get inspiried for your own future home. I think this place will amaze you. This house is not for sale or on the market whatsoever, but it is too special not to share.

    I was blown away by this amazing place. Rui looked like a perfect fit for the place. I absolutely loved everything about this magnificent jewel.
    Speechless for sure!!!

    I'm in a bar on subtitles only, but the fire song had my daughter, Maia, falling off her stool with laughter, wondering if you'd be gullible enough to fall for it too. I was disappointed in the lack of a dungeon till the end when he opened up the oubliette.
    Maia says if nothing is heard from you for a while, she'll arrange a rescue.
    Loads of history there. Thanks to you both for the tour.

      haha well I actually really enjoyed the song!! But I am glad Maia got a good laugh out of it Would have been cooler if we could see the mummy right? 😜

    Casa maravilhosa 💖 eu amei.
    A história dela mais ainda.
    Como aqui no Brasil.
    Sou de uma cidade chamada de Petrópolis.
    Onde fica a casa de D Pedro l
    Temos muitas coisas lindas por aqui também.
    O diferencial é que aqui essa cultura de guardar a nossa história eles governantes não sabem guardar e muito menos respeitar .
    Mais poderia ser diferente.
    Eu amo a nossa história e nossas origens.
    Parabéns pela apresentação...

    Casa de Ponedo is amazing! and Rui gave a pretty thorough & informative tour. He has a nice singing voice.
    That amazing structure seems impermeable by the threat of fires, too. It is well made to keep cool in the blazing hot summers but still cozy in the freezing winters. Amazing rehabilitation of the structure. Is it rentable? It'd be so cool to stay there. Wow.

    • @tworiversprojects
      @tworiversprojects  Рік тому +3

      I agree with you! The owner is an arcitect and I think he did a great job with it. It used to be available for short term rental, but now it has longterm renters living there. 😁

    So sad to know that it is his last day in the house. Very amazing place and the story behind the old house. A lot of stories and secrets to be known. You forgot to ask if he lives there for free just to look and take care of the whole property. I am from the Philippines and got interested to follow you.

      He didn't live there for free, but he looked after it very well indeed :) thanks for following!
