Location & area

The owner lives here when the house is not being rented out and thus it retains a welcoming and homely feel. Comfortably furnished in country style the farmhouse has a large kitchen / dining room (with rayburn, gas range cooker, fridge-freezer and double sink) which opens onto a covered patio with an additional dining table, shaded by grapevines, for alfresco eating overlooking the garden and the river. A big bathroom with beautiful moroccan tiles has a bath, shower, WC, washbasin and a washing machine. Upstairs is the living room with double sofa bed and patio doors onto a large covered balcony with armchair s and coffee table. Also upstairs are two double bedrooms.



The farmhouse is equipped with satellite TV. Water comes from the river for washing and from a nearby spring for drinking & cooking. The owner has an organic vegetable garden and guests may help themselves to fresh produce in season. The river Alva is just 50m away at the bottom of the garden and is ideal for swimming, canoeing (canoes available), and fishing. There are many woodland tracks in the area for walking. This is also a great spot for birdwatchers. Supermarkets, banks, etc can be found at Oliveira do Hospital. The historic university city of Coimbra is 40 mins drive, and the coast 1 hour.



Pets are welcome. The owner's cat lives here (outside) year round.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud

It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:

  • It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
  • If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
  • Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.
