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.
