The house as it stands today was constructed in the 17th Century by the ancestors of today's residents. The interior is brimming with antique furniture and curios - even its ceilings are a delight to behold, some of them beautifully painted. The floors are not to be missed either, with their 'Arraiolos' rugs; Arraiolos being a town in the alentejo renowned for its elegant hand-woven rugs, with origins in the 18th Century.

In Guimarães County, district of Braga, in the parish of S. Cristovão do Selho, is located the old Casa do Ribeiro.
Ever since 1688 untill now, people of the same family live there.
Is a building with a sketch in U, surrounded by a high wall, where is the main gate with a delightful scenical result, having in the middle the Arms Stone. We can reach the inward, after trespassing the big gate and crossing the central area of the House; going up by the big stone stairs in opposite to a round arch.
This House was repaired in 1975, preserving the initial architecture. Is surrounded by quiet forests where guests can enjoy walking, finding here and there natural fountains.
