Pedra Nova, Tourism d’Aldeia, in historic village Castelo Novo

A warm and inviting place to stay while exploring the historic villages.

The very hospitable and friendly owner, Miguel, has renovated the house while preserving the original character of the historic village of Castelo Novo, with the aim of allowing guests to enjoy its authentic atmosphere and comfort. Pedra Nova, which literally means “new stone,” is located in Castelo Novo. This historic village features a different atmosphere and history on every street. It feels as if time has stood still here. On the edge of Mount Gardunha, the only sound here is the flow of the Agua do Alardo.Read more here about the surrounding area and the unique experience of the twelve historic towns.
