Casa De Alfena

About

Casa de Alfena is a manorial house from the XVIII century linked to a group of rural buildings and old goldsmith’s workshops. The house and the rural buildings have been adapted to receive guests and the workshops gave way to a gold museum. Classified for its historical, cultural, and architectonic relevance, the house shares its gardens, granite threshing-floor, patios, and swimming pool with the museum. Travassos is a traditional filigree (Latin: filum-granum) workshop-village, located in the North bank of river Ave, and in the vicinity of Peneda-Gerês National Park.
