About this property

Quinta do Feixe - Country House

THE FARM

Feixe Farm is a century-old estate built in 1882. It is about 8 ha, located in Lugar do Feixe (Basto-Santa Tecla) in Celorico de Basto. It is part of a unique forest of sycamore, chestnut and oak trees, and crossed by a stream of clear waters.

It consists of three totally independent cottages each with its own private pool and well spaced to ensure privacy and a different ambience and livability.
The originality of the architecture of each house is well integrated in the landscape, with full respect for the surrounding nature. Each of them is decorated in an elegant, functional and comfortable manner, for maximum comfort and well being at any season.
Thoroughbred Lusitanian horses are the great passion and the reason for the existence of this property. Here we breed, teach and practice traditional Portuguese riding with Lusitanian horses, considered the world's best saddle horses, whether in classical riding exercises or simply to enjoy a stroll in the farm or in the surrounding forest.

FIG TREE HOUSE (GUEST HOUSE)

The former caretaker's house,completely rebuilt and renewed, a 150 sq. meter abode, consists of 2 suite bedrooms, large common room with fireplace and kitchen, plus a comfortable and cozy mezzanine. It is fully equipped with appliances, satellite TV,internet and heating. It accommodates 4/6 people. The house is dominated by a secular fig tree.

The living room has access to a large terrace overlooking the private pool and surrounding lawn.

THE HORSES

Here we breed, teach and practice traditional Portuguese pure blood Lusitanian riding horses, and we are equipped with all necessary infrastructures, so you can take advantage of the world’s best saddle horses in classical riding exercises or simply trot in complete tranquility in the surrounding nature. Individual lessons and internships in Portuguese horsemanship and riding are available.

Peaceful Relaxing Retreat in The Portuguese Hills

What a wonderful holiday; a chance to experience and see the real Portugal away from the tourist traps. The villa itself was lovely; large, cool in the heat and traditional with all the luxury amenities including a superb pool. It was quiet with no traffic and only horses, dogs and kittens for company. Glorious views across the hills and winding roads between the many small villages that dominate this area. Jose and Anna could not have been more helpful and welcoming. A great base to explore the coast, Porto and local mountains all of which can be reached in no time. Will definitely be back if this review hasn't booked the villa for the next 10 years....

O Minho no que tem de melhor

Uma semana em pleno paraíso. Localização fabulosa, piscina maravilhosa, uma casa belíssima com todas as comodidades que se podem pedir. Cavalos, cães e gatos fazem companhia e a delícia dos mais novos. O proprietário além de uma simpatia esteve sempre perto e o encarregado da quinta resolveu pequenos problemas num piscar de olhos. Gostámos tanto que planeamos já regressar. Um alojamento 5 estrelas que recomendo a todos.
