Nature and surroundings
Serra da Estrela Natural Park is an exceptional place. It expands over 101 thousand hectares distributed across six municipalities and it was the first natural park to be created in Portugal, also holding the record for the largest protected area in the country. Here, you will find the highest spot in continental Portugal, the only ski course in the country, the spring of two important rivers and an unexpected “alpine type” landscape abounding in glaciation traces. But the greatness of Serra da Estrela Natural Park is not only measured in hectares. It is a true dynamic centre which also includes local heritage conservation and the revitalization of its land and people. It constantly cooperates with local authorities and official bodies in order to restart typical local activities, promote grazing and handmade cheese manufacture or by supporting apiarists or protecting the Serra da Estrela dog.

As described above
Zoals hierboven beschreven
We absolutely loved this cottage!
The pool, the veranda that opens up, the outdoor shower, the view of the village below, the privacy, and the space. Thanks to the beautiful weather, we spent most of our time outside.
The washing machine was a handy extra for us since we’re on a road trip.
Communication with the manager, Ori, went very smoothly.Wij vonden dit huisje zalig!
Het zwembad, de veranda die open kan, de buitendouche, het uitzicht op het dorp beneden, de privacy en de ruimte. Dankzij het mooie weer leefden we vooral buiten.
De wasmachine was voor ons een handige extra omdat we een rondreis maken.
Het contact met beheerder Ori verliep heel vlot.This text is automatically translated. -

I called this place “the little house on the mountain.” Fantastic views, plenty of privacy, and more comfortable and spacious than I expected. It’s a truly wonderful place to explore the surrounding area from, because it’s absolutely beautiful. Charming little villages, the many praia fluviais (river beaches), and lovely walks to take.
Ik noemde deze accomodatie 'huisje op de berg'. Fantastisch uitzicht, veel privacy, qua gemak en ruimte boven verwachting. Echt een fijne plek om vandaaruit de omgeving te verkennen, want die is prachtig. Mooie sfeervolle dorpjes, de vele Praias fluviais (rivierstrandjes), heerlijke wandelingen te maken.

A wonderful place in a quiet area with plenty to do!
The Dutch-speaking host is always ready to answer questions and is very helpful!
We had a great time.Heerlijke plek in een rustige omgeving en veel te doen!
De nedelands sprekende host staat altijd klaar om vragen te beantwoorden en is erg behulpzaam!
Wij hebben een geweldig tijd gehad.The house is situated in a beautiful spot in the hills. The view of the valley is stunning! We had the entire property to ourselves, so we had plenty of privacy. It’s wonderful to wake up in such peaceful surroundings.
The cottage is equipped with all the amenities. The kitchen and living room are in the sunroom, which has air conditioning in case it gets too hot. The doors can also be opened on all sides. The kitchen is fully equipped.
The pool is wonderful and offers a beautiful view from there as well.
There’s plenty to do in the area: swimming in the streams, exploring the Serra da Estrela, hiking, visiting local markets, exploring charming villages, and dining at delightful restaurants.Het huis ligt op in een prachtige plek in de heuvels. Het uitzicht op de vallei is prachtig! Wij hadden het terrein geheel voor ons zelf dus veel privacy. Het is heerlijk wakker worden in de rustige omgeving.
Het huisje is voorzien van alle gemakken. De keuken en woonkamer zijn in de serre die voorzien is van airconditioning mocht het te warm worden. De deuren kunnen ook aan alle kanten open. De keuken is van alle gemakken voorzien.
Het zwembad is heerlijk en ook vanuit hier prachtig uitzicht.
Er is veel te doen in de omgeving. Zwemmen in de riviertjes, da Serra da Estrela, wandelen, lokale marktjes, mooie dorpjes en heerlijke restaurantjes.This text is automatically translated.
