House situated in a village crossed by the river Mondego, uninhabited. Their stillness is interrupted only by the sound of river water, the chirping of birds and flocks. Far away the low ground of the train ... The house has a privileged location on the river. Outdoor sports invite the visitor: bicycles, hiking, canoeing ... and for those who enjoy, bird watching. The photograph benefits from the surrounding landscape and the hues that are captured throughout the various hours of the day. House with a careful architecture, which makes the junction between the old and the modern, and that results from the concern to create an environment where the comfort and the joy of color prevails. On the ground floor the house is large and full of natural light, decorated with cheerful colors. Upstairs are the 2 guest rooms designed for guests' convenience, with windows overlooking the river and brook. Very nice outdoor area overlooking the stream of lines that will flow into the river Mondego. Facing the river, enjoying the surrounding green, and the silence only broken by the chirping of birds and waters. The house owes its name to the kingfisher, a multicolored bird that feeds on fish daily, "fishing" just in front of the house. It is 15 km from Serra da Estrela, 10 from the historic village of Linhares da Beira.
