A few kilometres from the city of Chaves is located the ancient and important village of Casas Novas with its emblematic Solares, Manor Houses, Farms and other important motifs of cultural interest such as the numerous traces of the Roman occupation and the Celtic cultural presence. Quinta do Souto or Casal do Souto is a referential example of a tillage bench and one of the oldest housing clusters of the Village. Framed in the Chapel of St. Bernardine of Siena Square and converted into a high level of comfort accommodation, it offers an excellent location for the discovery of the Trás-os-Montes region, rich in hydrotherapy, cuisine and genuine traditions.
