Olisipo Way is an Early Stage Venture Firm focused on IT investments. Our investments are varied in terms of business areas but we have a natural tendency for B2B projects. We speak the same language as entrepreneurs, the language of business. More than investors, we are also entrepreneurs. Our priority is the choice of the right people and the creation of a community that works as a plus in the lives of our startups.

Cerdeira is the combination of quality accommodation with an ambitious cultural project. Our goals are to bring an ancient village back to life, to create the right conditions for it to become a place of artistic creation, learning and fruitful cultural exchanges, to offer quality accommodation and to suggest ideas and routes for exploring this often forgotten region. Social Responsibility and Sustainability are fundamental concepts for us, and were applied not only in the reconstruction phase, with regional techniques, a local workforce and the introduction of ecological materials, but are important in our day-to-day work. Our guests are housed in one of nine traditional schist houses, which have been sustainably rebuilt in order to strike a balance between tradition and modern comfort. Some of these houses have also been enhanced by national and international artists, inspired by the houses themselves to create unique pieces that add to the individuality of each house. Today, Cerdeira is an artistic centre, with international Artistic Residencies, workshops, creative experiences and an Arts & Crafts School; a spot for creative or wellness retreats, as well as corporate trips; and a hideaway for truly invigorating holidays, benefitting from its unique natural setting, its quietness and all the infrastructure that has been built with our visitors in mind: the Casa das Artes, the studios, the library, the art gallery, the community oven and the café. We also host a yearly festival, «Elementos à Solta – Art meets Nature», which brings together contemporary artists and turns the village into a street gallery. Cerdeira is an authentic destination, where time does not fly! You can organise your own event at Cerdeira, such as a company retreat or an important meeting that requires concentration.
