Central, Portugal
- 4 persons

The rural nature house is a small house of local accommodation, recently restored. It is located in the village of Aguincho, a place in the parish of Alvoco da Serra, municipality of Seia. This village is located in the Serra da Estrela Natural Park, halfway between Seia and Covilhã via the N231 and about 30 minutes from the top of the mountain range. It is a family heritage, whose first restoration dates back to 1932, full of memories and affection. The original features have been carefully preserved, combining the rustic and humble place with the necessary comforts. Throughout the house there are several original decorative pieces of the house, treated and recovered that show the visitor the traditions and customs of the mid-20th century. Upstairs there is a rustic kitchen with fireplace (original of the house), a double bedroom with closet and complete bathroom (shower stall), a bedroom in open space with a sofa bed.
Nature and surroundings
In the village there is a small café (recreational club) and a trout farm where you can fish and eat the fish, as well as an excellent stream with crystal clear water for good diving. There are several options for restaurants in the area. It is a place of rest and peace, with greenery to lose sight of, ideal for regaining strength and taking long walks. It is a mainly agricultural environment, where the farmland sucalcos were miraculously "stolen" by their ancestors from the slopes surrounding the village. It is a subsistence agriculture, where the balir of the goats grazing on the land mixes with the chirping of the birds and the flow of the waters of the Ribeira de Alvoco; where the corn is ground in the communal water mill, the brandy is made in the alembic, also loaded with memories, the wine made in old tanks. Nearby there are several attractions and sights to visit. In winter, comfortably installed in the Alvoco Valley, it moves quickly.

Corinna September 20, 2025 General rating:The contact with Cristina was uncomplicated. We found everything quickly in the house. We found it perfect for the two of us. The stairs to the second floor are very narrow and steep. But there is a separate front door for upstairs. You can then also get your luggage into the bedroom upstairs. You should allow some time for the journey to the Serra da Estrella, as Aguincho is quite remote. But that's exactly what we were looking for. Once the area has recovered from this year's forest fires, it will be even more beautiful.
Der Kontakt mit Cristina war unkompliziert. Wir haben im Haus alles schnell gefunden. Wir fanden es für uns zu zweit perfekt. Die Stiege in die zweite Etage ist sehr schmal und steil. Aber dafür gibt es eine separate Haustür für oben. Da kann man dann auch das Gepäck in das oben gelegene Schlafzimmer bekommen. Für die Anreise in die Serra da Estrella sollte man etwas Zeit einplanen, da Aguincho zeimlich abgelegen ist. Aber genau das hatten wir auch gesucht. Wenn sich die Gegend von den Waldbränden dieses Jahres erholt hat, wird es dort umso schöner sein.
Nature, peace & environment:It's a wonderful place: rustic, cozy. As there are no cars, it's really quiet in the village and you get to see a lot of the surrounding nature. You can listen to the babbling brook nearby and the occasional breeze on the forest slopes. We felt very comfortable.
Es ist ein herrliches Plätzchen: urig, gemütlich. Da autofrei, ist es wirklich sehr ruhig im Dorf und man bekommt viel von der Natur ringsum mit. Dem Rauschen des Bachs in der Nähe und dem manchmal ordentlichen Wind an den Waldhängen kann man herrlich lauschen. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt.

Fam September 30, 2024 General rating:After touring Portugal with relatively many city visits, we spent the last few days here, and it felt like a restful oasis after all the impressions of the 3 weeks before. We took some nice walks along the wooded mountain slopes here and got to some other villages nearby
Na een rondtocht door Portugal met relatief veel stedenbezoek, hebben wij de laatste paar dagen hier door gebracht, en dat voelde als een rustgevende oase na alle indrukken van de 3 weken er voor. We hebben hier een paar mooie wandelingen gemaakt langs de beboste berghellingen en kwamen zo bij enkele andere dorpjes in de buurt
Nature, peace & environment:Beautiful original natural stone, cottage, carefully refurbished and adapted with good comfort for vacation stay. Beautiful surroundings in green wooded river valley, ideal especially for walks in peace and quiet!
Mooi origineel natuurstenen, huisje, zorgvuldig opgeknapt en aangepast met goed comfort voor vakantieverblijf. Prachtige omgeving in groen bebost rivierdal, ideaal voor vooral wandelingen in alle rust!
