About this property

Casa da Covinha | Branda da Aveleira | Mountains | Nature & Tradition

Description:
Discover the charm of Branda da Aveleira and immerse yourself in the tranquillity of Casa da Covinha — an authentic retreat where nature, silence and tradition come together in perfect harmony!

Perfectly integrated into the mountainous landscape, the house combines modern comfort with the rustic character of the mountains. It features a fully equipped kitchen, a cosy living room with a fireplace and a comfortable double bedroom. As a one-bedroom property accommodating up to four people, it also offers a built-in double bed in the small entrance hall and a full bathroom with a shower.

Outside, the experience becomes even more special: a barbecue, table and sun loungers invite you to enjoy long moments of relaxation to the sound of the breeze and the surrounding nature.

Amidst lush green fields and imposing mountains, it is common to see cows and horses grazing freely, preserving the authentic daily life of this Branda. Here, time slows down and every detail invites you to experience first-hand the cultural richness linked to agriculture, sheep farming and beekeeping.

A truly idyllic place, designed for those seeking to disconnect from the urban pace and create unforgettable memories!
