Review July 2020
Beautiful garden with abundance of Lemon, Grapefruit and Orange trees providing plenty of fruit for fresh juice every morning. Property was very clean and tidy but suffered from a number of issues that spoiled the holiday experience. The swimming pool is beautiful however only two sun loungers provided for a party of five and no parasol or shaded area provided. As a result we had to go out and buy our own parasols for shade. The barbecue is located at the pool, unfortunately it suffers from an number of practical issues, there is no garden furniture provided so nowhere to sit and eat in shade. Also is approximately 100 metres from the house so have to carry food, cutlery etc quite a distance. Would be a real benefit to have cutlery and a fridge in the "Summer Kitchen" It's so impractical that we only used to once during our two week stay. House suffered from numerous power cuts whilst cooking, especially if the oven and the hob were in use at the same time. This meant fumbling around with a torch trying to locate the fuse box. Also had issues with water supply which turned out to be an issue with water pump. On arrival there was no hot water available. Numerous issues with the lock on the front gate. Overall I feel most of these issues are quite easy to put right with some forethought around the practical aspects of using the facilites. Not a location to rent with small children due to the high wall near the pool, no visibility of pool from the house and the unsecured water feature at the entrance.

Um descanso excepcional
Tivemos uma estadia melhor do que esperávamos. Uma casa com tudo o necessário e extremamente limpa, uma piscina do outro mundo. Toda a envolvência da casa, com produtos hortícolas e árvores de fruto para nosso inteiro usufruto. O cuidado com a propriedade é imenso, o Sr José, a sua esposa e a Sandra são incansáveis quer no nosso bem estar quer no cuidado da propriedade. Não há palavras para descrever, o melhor mesmo é visitar. Tudo de positivo.

A tranquilidade agradável
Vista muito bonita, piscina e jardim maravilhosos, horta com produtos saborosos para as crianças apanharem, casa simpática. Sugestão: armário adequado para a roupa de uma semana. Foi uma ótima estadia em família após um ano complicado. Isabel

Leuk verblijf in een prachtige omgeving
Het huis ligt in een heuvelachtige omgeving dus dit zal zowat de sportiefste vakantie zijn die ik ooit gehad heb :-) Maar wat een zalig huis !! Bij aankomst waren we onmiddellijk onder de indruk van de pracht van het huis, de bloemen, de tuin en niet te vergeten het zwembad ! Het appartement is perfect voor 4 personen. Het zijn wel 2 2-persoonsbedden dus wel ietsje vervelend als je met tieners gaat die dan samen moeten slapen. Er staat wel nog een 1-persoonsbed in de inkomsthal maar dat is een beetje een rare plek om te slapen. Maar voor de rest kan ik echt geen negatieve punten bedenken. De keuken is uitgerust met een nieuwe vaatwas en nieuwe oven. Dus alle luxe is aanwezig. Het is er enorm rustig, je hoort enkel de vogeltjes fluiten. Elke morgen gingen we appelsienen rapen en konden we genieten van versgeperst fruitsap. Maar ook tomaten, citroenen , meloen, braambessen, pompelmoes.... waren in overvloed aanwezig. Dat maakt het allemaal heel erg aangenaam om er te verblijven. Waar we het meest van genoten hebben is echter het zwembad. Wat een luxe om zo'n zwembad voor ons alleen te hebben. En met zo'n prachtig uitzicht op het dal. Het was er heerlijk vertoeven. In de nabije omgeving zijn er voldoende winkels om je boodschappen te doen. Je hebt wel telkens de wagen nodig want in de heel dichte omgeving is er niks waar je te voet om brood kan of andere eetwaren. Met de wagen heb je alles op 5 min binnen handbereik. Wij zijn met tegenzin terug huiswaarts getrokken. Ik kon gerust nog een weekje langer blijven. We hadden een leuke, deugddoende vakantie en hebben echt genoten van de rust.

About the host

Hosted by Marijke van den Berg

Host profile image
We are a retired couple from The Netherlands with a medical background. We still live in Baarn, The Netherlands, but we like to spend as much time as we can afford in Portugal.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property as a ruin because we loved the location and liked to have a place to stay during holidays, where we could spend time with our grown-up children and welcome guests. Throughout the last decade we have gradually converted it into a little paradise.

What makes this property unique

When you rent the property, you have the whole 1.8 hectare terrain including swimming pool to yourselves. The house is situated on a south slope, some 380 m above sea level. The view is amazing, with the Serra da Estrela on the horizon. With the property come its vegetables, fruits and nuts. The days might be warm, but there are several shadowy terraces and the nights are agreeably cool. There are several walking trails nearby. Despite the rural location, all necessary shops are nearby (2 km, with larger supermarkets at 8 km). Although excellent for a quiet holiday, there is ample possibility to satisfy cultural and gastronomic needs. Porto, Coimbra and the beach of Aveiro and around can all be reached within approximately 1 hour; Lisbon is 3 hours away. Several cultural highlights are also within reach.
