Tradicampo Eco Country Houses - A Arribana

ED Refnr. 2898351 LOCATION –The A ARRIBANA house is located in the village of São Pedro de Nordestinho, in the heart of the Nordeste district, Sao Miguel, Azores. Nordeste is the kingdom of Pico de Vara, the highest point of São Miguel and one of the best preserved and richest landscape of the island. Nordeste is the doorway to peace and the contemplation of nature. HISTORY – The A ARRIBANA belongs to a complex of two houses called Casas do Pátio. The constructions that currently form the “Casas do Pátio” complex (“Casa do Tanque” and “A Arribana”) were probably built during the second half of the 19th century, following the typical architecture of the area where they are located. The main building was used as a home and comprised a ground floor along with a one-window attic, divided in two bodies with two different coverings and perpendicularly-orientated roofs. In the surroundings of this accommodation, there was an agricultural annex (the current re-constructed A Arribana), used to support farming activities. Both buildings surrounded a patio (that named the complex), which had direct access to the road and where the pig pens and the latrine were located. DESCRIPTION – The A ARRIBANA house is surrounded by the blue sea on the horizon and the deep green of the surrounding mountains.
