This small wooden cottage is idyllically situated on a terrace surrounded by flowery gardens with olives with a beautiful view over the valley of the Mondego River. The cottage can accommodate 3 people. The surrounding land is 3 hectares and consists mainly of olive groves where there are also some other cottages. On and around the property is ample opportunity for rest and entertainment: a hammock among the olive trees, the bank of the Rio do Mondego for cooling, suitable for swimming. This oasis of peace and nature in Serra da Estrela borders directly on the Rio do Mondego River. This protected natural area offers the possibility of optimal enjoyment in a beautiful landscape. The area is not only very suitable for hiking enthusiasts; there is also much to do for swimmers, bon vivants and doers.
Nature and surroundings
The Serra da Estrela Natural Park is the largest protected area in Portugal and is located in the central massive mountain region, on a plateau that slopes slightly to the northeast. The mountains here are separated by river valleys. Among others, the Mondego and Zêzere rivers originate here. The quinta is located on the Caminho de Santiago pilgrimage route. The breathtaking small-scale cultural landscape alternates with vistas and rugged nature in the valley of the Mondego. For the experienced hiker there is the trek to the top of the Tentinolho (950 meters) from the nature house. The less experienced hiker can walk from the farmhouse, parallel to the Rio do Mondego river, through the valley to the Mizarella and Pero Soares. We advise you to come by car because the farm is remote. The nearest supermarket is 25 min drive. Don't have a car? Then take the cab that will drop you off at the traffic circle near the quinta. From there it is a 10 min walk.

Fine, well insulated cottage, stays reasonably cool. Spacious, large living space with kitchen, bedroom and fine bathroom with modern shower.
Fijn, goed geïsoleerd huisje, blijft redelijk koel. Ruim van opzet, grote leefruimte met keuken, slaapkamer en prima badkamer met moderne douche.
Fantastic surroundings, wonderful walks, to Guarda is to catch, several very good restaurants and by cab back after lunch. Eating out or cooking for yourself is equally priced, the former is a special experience, Portuguese cuisine is fascinating. Pure nature.
Fantastische omgeving, heerlijk gewandeld, naar Guarda is te halen, diverse zeer goede restaurants en met de taxi terug na de lunch. Uit eten of zelf koken is gelijk geprijsd, dat eerste is een bijzondere ervaring, de Portugese keuken is fascinerend. Puur natuur.

The cottage is located in a beautiful spot on the grounds of the quinta. There is enough privacy, but you are not completely isolated. Moreover, you can use the entire yard, where there are many nice places. The first impression of the cottage is very good. It is spacious, bright and nicely decorated. It features a good shower. The cottage stays reasonably cool and there are insect screens, so you can sleep with the window open.
Het huisje ligt het op een mooie plek op het terrein van de quinta. Er is voldoende privacy, maar je zit ook weer niet compleet afgezonderd. Bovendien mag je gebruik maken van het volledige erf, waar veel leuke plekken zijn.
De eerste indruk van het huisje is erg goed. Het is ruim, licht en leuk ingericht. Het beschikt over een goede douche. Het huisje blijft redelijk koel en er zijn insectenhorren, zodat je met het raam open kunt slapen.The landscape near the cottage is very beautiful. There is an alternation of a small-scale cultural landscape, with vegetable gardens and orchards with fruit trees such as cherries, olives, apple. It is very nice to see how man and nature go together so well in this area. There are also pieces of "rougher" nature, especially in the narrow valleys of the small river, and on the steeper mountain slopes. The area is otherwise very quiet, even on the through roads there is almost no traffic. There are many beautiful (quiet) historic villages and interesting places in the area.
Het landschap in de omgeving van het huisje is erg mooi. Er is een afwisseling van een kleinschalig cultuurlandschap, met moestuintjes en boomgaarden met fruitbomen zoals kersen, olijven, appel. Het is heel mooi om te zien hoe mens en natuur in dit gebied zo goed samen gaan. Ook zijn er stukken 'ruigere' natuur, met name in de smalle dalen van het riviertje, en op de steilere berghellingen. De omgeving is verder erg rustig, zelfs op de doorgaande wegen is bijna geen verkeer. Er zijn veel mooie (rustige) historische dorpjes en interessante plekken in de omgeving.
