Village of São Francisco de Assis, District of Castelo Branco and municipality of Covilhã.
It is very well located 15 minutes from the Santa Luzia Dam and very close to several services, such as.
Restaurant, Bus Stop, Health Centre, Supermarket, Pharmacy and Bank.
3-storey villa, with several rooms, a terrace with breathtaking views, a plot in front of 110m2, basement with generous areas, with great potential for Nature Tourism Investment or other projects.
São Francisco de Assis is visited every year by tourists from all over the world for its unique natural beauty, 40 km from Covilhã, 32 km from Fundão and the A23 motorway, 75 km from Castelo Branco, and close to the Schist Villages, namely Piódão (less than 40 km) or Janeiro de Cima/Baixo (20km).
Aldeia de São Francisco de Asis is located between the Serra da Gardunha and the Serra da Estrela, near Piódão, in front of which you can see the Panasqueira Mines, a place of miners and the largest exporter of wolfram in Portugal.
In the context of the "7 Wonders of Portugal" contest, the best villages that Portugal has to offer are shown. The Village of São Francisco de Assis competed in 2017 in the "Monument Villages" Category.
The miner is a central figure in the parish's culture. The examples of Schist Housing Heritage, the Monument to Christ the Worker and the housing districts adjacent to the Mines are symbols of how the mining culture has modified the mountain landscape, where granite mixes with schist in contrast to the industrial structures of mining.
To walk through the Village of São Francisco de Assis is to feel the pulse of a hard life, full of a living history that still endures today.
Among the landscape cut of mountains, one discovers pure river beaches, through which some tributaries flow into the Zêzere River, born in the heart of the Serra.
