Location & area

The villages of Pracerias above and Celavisa below have convivial bars selling home made wine and beers. While Caratao is peacefully off the beaten track, within a short drive are the delightful old towns of Gois - famed for its river bathing - and Arganil - with a good range of shops and many other attractions.



Walking, horse riding, kayaking and off road cycling are just some of the activities open to you. Sandy beaches at Figueiro do Foz ninety minutes on a good road. Forty minutes away is Coimbra, a former Portuguese capital and still its leading university city - a place of unique charm with a wide range of places to see, good shops, restaurants and cinemas. The whole district is packed with historic towns and villages, reached via journeys of dramatic beauty.



The cottage sleeps 6/8 people. There are three bedrooms, one with a double bed, one with two singles, the third with a full sized bunk bed. Additionally there are two sofa beds in the living room together with two armchairs, dining table and chairs, TV (cable) & DVD & Video - and a large open fireplace (free logs). There are two bathrooms, one with shower, a fully equipped kitchen - fridge-freezer, microwave, gas cooker etc. Laundry service available, iron + board provided. Supplementary electric heating is provided for winter use. The balcony has stunning views,and a patio with brick built barbecue, tables and chairs.



Towels and linen available on arrival (swimming towels not included). Cleaning at changeover.


Getting here: Oporto (Porto) airport is two and half hours drive. Lisbon three hours. There is an inexpensive toll motorway which connects Coimbra to both. Fast trains go to Coimbra which is about an hour away and collection can be arranged. However a car is recommended. Car hire in Portugal is among the cheapest in western Europe.
