Casa de Lamas is a manor
house built in the last quarter of the 17th century, set in a vast agricultural
property, now converted to receive guests. The property’s origins, however,
date from the 15th century. Since its construction, the house has remained
in the same family and has been entirely restored some years ago. Traces
of different architectonic styles have been preserved during restoration.
