The house once belonged to the founder of the famous brand of coffee Sical, Vicente Peres, at that time it was the home of the caretakers of the farm, it was there that they kept the cattle and had a cellar with presses.
Later, this house, was given, by Vicente Peres to his goddaughter, who rebuilt it and turned it into her weekend home. In this reconstruction, the mills were demolished and their stones used in the construction of the outdoor swimming pool.
Currently, the house belongs to Restaurant entrepreneur of the Novo Rumo group, who transformed it into a tourism house in a rural area with modern equipment, with all the necessary comfort for its guests.
