The Borratém House is situated in a Country Region, Mafra district, 25Kms from Lisbon, in the center of a village that was characterized in the past by farming activities. The scarcity of water in this village made the families dig small wells. On the street where this house now stands, was once one of these wells, which served mainly to give water to animals, which locals have come to call the “Poceco Borratem”. For its unique location, near the capital (Lisbon), this small family house, built in 1944, and with typical construction of the time, offers a rural experience and simultaneously serves as a starting point to explore the many attractions of the region.
