A beautiful house with views of the mountain slopes. Featuring a porch adjacent to the living room/kitchen with French doors, this nature house—nestled in a very peaceful natural setting—offers a wonderfully relaxing retreat. 4,000 m² of private land featuring a vineyard, orange, lemon, apple, plum, cherry, fig, and chestnut trees, and a pine forest. This recently built, well-insulated home is in a secluded location and features two bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and a spacious 30 m² living room/kitchen with stunning views. In addition to the veranda, there is a very large outdoor area to enjoy nature. It’s wonderful for biking, hiking, and swimming at the river beaches. The village of Vila Nova de Poiares—with its weekly market, shops, cafés, and a few restaurants—is easily accessible by a 2-km walk or bike ride. Just be prepared for a bit of an uphill climb on the way back.

Nature and surroundings

The nature house is surrounded by fruit trees, a vineyard, and a pine forest. The immediate surroundings are rich in nature. The Serra da Lousã is a beautiful area for wonderful hikes. Wild boars, red deer, and many salamanders, mustelids, and birds of prey—and, of course, many other bird species. Canoe trips on the Mondego River, flanked by green mountain slopes. Trees such as pines, eucalyptus, and citrus trees—which fill the air with a delightful scent—are abundant. Many beekeepers produce the finest honey, and of course, delicious olive oil is pressed from the olive trees. Honey is available for purchase at the market. Visiting the centuries-old slate villages in Gois and Lousã is well worth the effort. Visit the ancient Roman ruins at Conimbriga and the Buçaco Natural Park, featuring an 11-hectare walled park, just 30 minutes away. Or take a refreshing dip in the cool Atlantic Ocean, 45 km away. Or visit Coimbra, a centuries-old university town with charming streets, culture, and fado music.
