LAGAR A FONTE CANSADA

a place to dwell, an experience to share

The Project

Translated to “Mill at the Tired Fountain",

LAGAR A FONTE CANSADA is a majestic property tucked away in the countryside of Estremoz - a place of historic Portuguese architecture abundant in serene beauty. We found this beautiful, worn down, neglected building and could immediately see it's potential & charm. We developed our architectural plans & vision to give this old Lagar a new life, we have been in love ever since. Our mission is to create a sense of place & environment to fill the senses to share in memorable experiences for years to come.

We are currently under development and completing our outdoor living areas,

a courtyard with patios & gardens with a open air art studio for future workshops, private events and more. This summer & fall as the gardens become rich and abundant we hope to invite you to experience the the charm

of Lagar á Fonte Cansada with us.

Please keep in touch!

Ola, Como esta

We are Amavel & Tina

Amavel Portuguese & Tina British. After both immigrating to the US spending many years living & working in San Francisco, Ca. designing building homes & gardens it was time for a change. We wanted to find a more sustainable slower pace of life and felt we could not find that in the US. We decided to look for property in Amavel’s home town and found & fell in love with this property. Combining our 35 yrs of experience & backgrounds in construction, landscaping & a love of design the concept for our new home was born. On an adventure of our lifetime together we are fusing our experience & expertise building our passion project surrounded by nature, tranquility and a sense of place in the Alentejo region, that is rich in history, tradition, culture

and a thriving community.
