This nature house (105431/AL) is part of the 4-hectare estate. As you stroll through the grounds, you’ll come across the vegetable garden, a narrow babbling brook, a pond, a small wooded area, or the hilltop, featuring a vineyard and a food forest that offers a stunning view of the Serra da Estrela and the Serra do Açor. Staying in our nature house means relaxing and enjoying the peace and quiet, along with all the comforts it has to offer. Whether you’re looking for a short getaway or a long vacation, want to write a book, lounge in the sun by the pool or in a hammock, enjoy the many birds that make our Quinta a true bird paradise, or warm up by the wood-burning stove, let a visit inspire you. The living room, featuring a fully equipped open kitchen, is heated by a wood stove/central heating system. There are two bathrooms: one downstairs with a shower and one upstairs with a bathtub and shower. Upstairs, there are two air-conditioned bedrooms—one with a double bed and the other with two single beds. A full set of linens is provided.

Nature and surroundings

Central Portugal is a rugged, green, and sparsely populated region home to the spectacular Serra da Estrela Nature Park. The nature house is located a 20-minute drive from the Serra da Estrela, where you can set out on an adventure to explore the 375 km of hiking trails, glacial valleys, mountain lakes, dams, and endless vistas. Fancy a refreshing dip in natural waters? There are several natural river beaches along the Rio Alva and Rio Mondego in the area. Want to soak up some culture? Then visit the old university town of Coimbra or the historic town of Viseu, both about a 50-minute drive away. The nature house itself is situated in a small green valley from which you can explore the surrounding area on foot. The nearby villages of Vendas de Galizes and Nogueira do Cravo feature picturesque houses, small churches, and a café with a neighborhood store. The town of Oliveira do Hospital offers numerous restaurants and outdoor cafés.

    We really love this place and would love to come back again!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    We had such a wonderful week in this cottage. The grounds are beautiful, surrounded by greenery and teeming with birds. The entire place has been put together with great care and attention, and you can feel that in everything. The bedrooms might be a bit on the small or low-ceilinged side, but that doesn’t really matter. The outdoor space here is so spacious and pleasant that it more than makes up for it. The absolute highlight was the wonderful pool! We felt right at home and thoroughly enjoyed Joyce and Hein’s hospitality. At the same time, we had all the privacy and space we needed to follow our own rhythm. Thanks again!

    The cottage is in a beautiful place and is fully equipped. Hein and Joyce are always happy to chat and regularly ask if everything is still to your liking (which was always the case with us). They give you the feeling that there is all the space and freedom to do your own thing in the house or on the grounds. The transition from the hustle and bustle of the Netherlands to the peace and quiet of the cottage ensured that we went home relaxed and did not really want to leave the place behind when we left. We definitely recommend the cottage and the location, if only for a nice meeting with Hein and Joyce.

    What a lovely and quiet place this is on a beautiful piece of land. There are many places on the property where you can stay, the hammocks at the cottage are great and the pool is also delicious. Furthermore, you are free to explore the terrain and if you encounter fruit or herbs on the way, you can pick them. A little further on there are goats, occasionally you see some (stray) cats sprinting across the terrain and in terms of sound you often hear only the birds. In the area you can do good shopping and the Serra da Estrela Natural Park is definitely worth a visit. Incidentally, there is an extensive folder in the house with all kinds of tips for walks, nature spots, markets, restaurants and towns you can visit. And if you want tips, you can also ask Hein & Joyce who will help you with all their love.

The host indicates that the area is firework-free. Firework-free means that no firework bangs can be heard in and around the accommodation. You might occasionally hear some noise or see some light from fireworks set off outside the immediate area. It is important that you agree with the landlord on what you can expect.
