About Us

Visit usIn April of 2000, TURIHAB – Associação do Turismo de Habitação - and ATA – Associação do Turismo de Aldeia – created CENTER – Central Nacional do Turismo no Espaço Rural, the central information and booking of rural tourism.

The goals of CENTER are to promote and commercialize the brands Solares de Portugal and Aldeias de Portugal, and to improve the offer of these two products of Rural Tourism.  Furthermore, CENTER also promotes Casas no Campo - country accommodation and some thematic itineraries. CENTER uses a modern and efficient technological program to make reservations, the “Centernet system”. In order to promote its manors and country houses was created the web site www.center.pt.

“Centernet” is an operator software system for reservations and information and includes all the information concerning Rural Tourism (agro tourism, ecotourism, eco-agro tourism, adventure tourism, country houses, manor houses, traditional houses, cottages) in a database that also includes all the history and facilities of those family homes.

CENTER’s web site, www.center.pt, is a directory with information concerning the associations TURIHAB and ATA and their brands. It includes all the information about the structure of CENTER and allows web surfers to get different information such maps, accommodation prices, photos of the houses, gastronomy, history and local products, and on-line reservations.

CENTER offers a quality product, with intense marketing activities, either in Portugal or in the foreign market. The primordial aim is to promote Solares de Portugal - www.solaresdeportugal.pt, Aldeias de Portugal - www.aldeiasdeportugal.pt and Casas no Campo – www.casasnocampo.net, within and out of Portugal, giving priority to the private tourism accommodation and to the country landscapes.
