THE FARMHOUSE
If you are looking for green sceneries in the peace and quiet of the countryside, for a holiday with family or friends, the Quinta de Paiões is the perfect place for you.
Ideally situated between la Serra de Sintra and Lisboa, our farm offers a family-friendly serene and peaceful environment, only a stone’s throw from the city and within an easy 30 km reach from many points of interests.
The original farmhouse building was fully renovated, inside space turned into rooms with a high level of comfort all year round. At Quinta de Paioes, you’ll be hosted by the owners, the Giacomelli family: Angelo and his son Leonardo together with Kira, their faithful dog.
HOW DID IT START?
The story of Quinta de Paioes started with the family Giacomelli two passions: Portugal and nature. Already in their first homeland, they were farming the land – cultivating lavender, saffron and mint, producing organic products for the body and derivatives, such as massage oil and soap.
Portugal became a passion in 2011 after a visit in Sintra. Angelo and his family got to learn the Palais, la Serra and the “queijadas”, a typical cake from Sintra. They were fascinated by the landscape and the people from Portugal. After visiting the country several other times, in Alentejo, Algarve, the Douro and the centre of the country, Angelo decided to move to Portugal. In Paioes, district of Sintra, he found the ideal climate and land to realise his dream: a farmhouse for holiday in close contact with nature.
GUEST HOUSE AT THE FARM
On top of enjoying the countryside peace and quiet around the farm’s swimming, you can, if you wish, participate in cultivating activities while hosted at the guesthouse.
You can help the Giacomelli’s cultivate the herbs, water the plants or weed – a way to reunite with nature, relax, and enjoy a different kind of holiday.
LA KIMERA
This brand was founded by Angelo, following a family tradition linked to agriculture and countryside.
The name “La Kimera” means dream or inaccessible desire. It was Angelo’s dream to produce lavander, saffron or mint to be then transformed into soap, hand cream, body oil massage, after-shave and many other products. “La Kimera” products are 100% natural and are suitable to sensitive skin people with allergies to chemical products. They are answering the demanding requirement of cosmetology.
Angelo is dedicated to cultivate his 2 acres of land to produce these cosmetic products. You will find them in the rooms, and can buy them directly at the farm, online or in other points of sale.
