An off-grid homestead by the River Dão.
Surrounded by gardens and woodland, Moinhos do Dão is our family project and home.
Spend time by the river, explore the gardens, learn a few practical skills or simply enjoy being outdoors. Join in with whatever is happening here, share a meal and get a glimpse of everyday off-grid life.
We are a small place in central Portugal, near Viseu, with old watermills, woodland and a quiet stretch of river.
