The village of Chancelaria is located in the heart of Portugal, at the foot of the Serra de Aire mountain range, in the municipality of Torres Novas, district of Santarém. The region is characterized by unspoilt landscapes, olive groves, citrus orchards and eight restored windmills that stand as landmarks of the area. The local microclimate produces exceptional quality citrus fruit – in autumn, roadside orange stalls line the route towards Fátima.

Nearby attractions include the Jardim Jurássico (dinosaur footprints discovered in 1996) and the restored Moinhos da Pena windmills, now open to tourism. Fátima, one of the world's most important pilgrimage sites, is just a short drive away.

Location & Region

Microclimate & Nature: Chancelaria lies at the foot of the Serra de Aire.

The landscape is green, authentic and strikingly beautiful.
Strategic Position: Chancelaria sits at the heart of Portugal. You enjoy the peace of the countryside while being extremely well connected to the major hubs via the motorways (A1 and A23).
Cultural Surroundings: The world-famous pilgrimage site of Fátima is just around the corner, as is historic Torres Novas with its castle, and Tomar – the city of the Knights Templar.
Shopping: A village shop open in the afternoon, stocked with all the essentials for daily needs, is just a few steps away. Torres Novas offers Intermarché, Aldi, Lidl, numerous specialty shops, and a weekly market. The market in Ourem (15 km) is widely renowned.
