Nature and surroundings

The main reason why this area is so appreciated is the range and quality of attractions. Spacious beaches, beautiful nature, special museums, historic towns and monasteries and picturesque villages. By car there is a lot to discover in the vicinity. In fact, too much to mention. The beautiful stalactite caves of Grutas de Alvados, Santo António and De Moeda are practically around the corner. A half-hour drive away is the world's largest collection of rare sauropod tracks (dinosaurs) from the Middle Jurassic era (175 million years ago). The pilgrimage site of Fátima and the monasteries of Alcobaça and Batalha are also a half-hour drive away. Tomar, the city of the Knights Templar, 45 minutes. In 40-50 minutes you are on the beaches of Nazaré (known by surfers for its extremely high waves), São Martinho do Porto and Foz do Arelho. The hiking trails of the Parque Natural can be reached on foot from the house. Stores at 15 minutes by car.

    A lovely house and everything perfectly taken care of. Before we left we received all the necessary information about the house and possible trips in the area. Especially the videos we received proved to be clear and useful. The house is located on a slope, you can enjoy the tranquility and views over the valley. An attractive natural area surrounds Alvados. The house and the decor is modern and breathes quality, wonderful to stay there. It is fully equipped, such as complete kitchen, plenty of cooking utensils, coffee makers, etc. The beds are lovely and it is nice to have two bathrooms. Alvados is a nice starting point to go to Batalha, Coimbra or Lisbon. But even closer by there is plenty to find, such as beautiful caves. Or enjoy a delicious dinner at restaurant Terruja in the village. And the owners of this house try to please you as much as possible, with good communication and quick responses.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    The natural area surrounding Alvados is of a special quality. Parque Natural das Serras de Aire e Candeeiros is a special limestone area with many special caves. But also for the hiker there is much to enjoy or beautiful car routes through the area. For everyone there is something to do and discover.

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    We spent 2 wonderful weeks in and around this wonderful house! The house is located in a beautiful, quiet and beautiful green place at the end of a valley in a kind of bowl. The house is very complete and very practically furnished with a detailed description of everything! The pool is lovely and also outside everything has been thought of in terms of furniture. The house is clean and tidy and the owners very hospitable and helpful. The communication is smooth and pleasant! In the house you will also find a list of suggestions for food, drinks and sightseeing. We had a great time, even with less weather, in for example Lisbon, Coimbra, Alcobaça, Batalha and Nazaré. In short, a lovely relaxing vacation spot for those seeking rest!

    Nature, peace & environment: 5 /5

    This was our 2nd stay at this nature house. After our very positive experience last year we found it more than worth repeating. Again we enjoyed the house with all its facilities and the great environment. The house is clean and fully equipped. Its central location makes it perfect for planning days out and then coming back to enjoy the surroundings in peace and to enjoy, if desired, the pool. The cottage is situated so that from the living room, bedrooms and pool it gives a beautiful view of the valley with beautiful sunrises and sunsets.
