Casal Novo - Schist Village
Booking
A true hidden treasure, the village of Casal Novo finds its refuge on the slopes of the Serra da Lousã, cascading down the mountain as if seeking its path to the Sanctuary of Nossa Sra da Piedade.
Its authenticity is one of the reasons why it is part of the Schist Villages Network, along with the simplicity and genuineness of its experiences, customs, and traditions.
Protected by the Natura 2000 Network, with a rich and diverse range of fauna and flora, the village of Casal Novo is more than just a viewpoint for the Lousã and its Castle; it is a unique portal to observe lives of the past, immortalized in its shale stones.
