    Beautiful cottage in a beautiful place. The road to it was described as an adventurous gravel path, and it did live up to that name.

    Beautiful cottage with all the basic necessities. The view is beautiful and the owners are very friendly and always there for you. Ideal place to take a break from all the hustle and bustle.

    Our week in the nature house in early September was truly fantastic. The cottage is in a beautiful spot with a great view of Serra da Estrela. The peace and quiet there really did us good. We could completely relax and recharge, partly due to the fine pool and jacuzzi that were great to dive into every day. The owners are incredibly hospitable and sweet, we felt right at home. They also gave us many good tips for fun activities in the area, such as walks in the beautiful countryside. The cottage itself was fully equipped, just what you need for a comfortable stay. Although we made a lot of trips this time, next time we can imagine just staying at the quinta for the whole week. It is such a nice place that you can have a great time without going away. All in all, we had a great time and look forward to coming back again!

    The peace and quiet and space of the nature house were great. You really feel like you are sitting there all alone, so quiet it is. The view of Serra da Estrela is wide and breathtaking. We saw many different birds, which made the stay even more special. A perfect place to completely unwind in the middle of nature and yet with all the comforts and amenities available.
