On the top floor, there are two other vaults, these with a Renaissance spirit, one with a circular dome and the other with a barrel vault, with coffers.Currently adapted to a tourist reality, Quinta de São Thiago's main house is divided into several floors. In the basement, the floor with direct access to the pool, there is a party pavilion and a breakfast nook with a charming porch. It is the most social part of the Quinta, where the various weddings that the Quinta hosts are held.At the entrance, the central courtyard on the ground floor presents itself as the main shelter in a century-old environment, providing unique tranquility next to the tank.On this floor we find six different rooms, some with old flagstone floors, four bedrooms and the office, kitchen, laundry room, pantry and the various bathrooms where it is possible to appreciate the most diverse hand-painted ceramics.On the first floor we have eight more bedrooms and two living rooms, a fascinating library, the chapel and the sacristy.
