# About

 
**Santar: the history of Portugal passes through here**

 
It is known that populations of hunters and gatherers have settled in these fertile and beautiful lands since the Neolithic period, around 5,000 years ago. Then came the Iberians, the Celts, the Romans, who left more traces of their presence, and the descendants of the Moors who were converted to Christianity by the sword of King Afonso Henriques. It is said that the origin of the name Santar is possibly associated with the stay of the Visigoths in the Iberian Peninsula, as it derives from a proper name of Germanic origin, Sentarius, mentioned in documentation since the 10th century, in the form of Senteiro.

## About

 
**Casa das Fidalgas is now the Hotel Valverde Santar Hotel & Spa**

 
On a horizon of rugged valleys, between the Estrela and Caramulo mountains, where the Mondego and Dão rivers meander, Casa das Fidalgas is a charming aristocratic manor house from the 17th century. Surrounded by vegetable gardens and orchards, rows of carved boxwood, punctuated by yews, lagerstroemia and camellias, a verdant, undulating carpet of vines, broken up by aisles of aromatic shrubs, native plants and orange trees from Mexico.
