About this property

Rural sophistication in the Serra da Estrela

In the foothills of Serra da Estrela, the highest mountain range in Portugal, where the famous mountain cheese is produced, and in the demarcated wine region of Dão, the second oldest in the country, a centuries old rural house, recovered and reinterpreted to genuine country setting, all the contemporary comfort and sophistication.
Come and live in this stone house, surrounded by an extensive backyard of centuries-old olive and fig trees, with a swimming pool, in a harmonious synthesis between the rustic and the design, bright days, deep relaxation and cultural, wine and culinary discovery.

Fabulous house in lovely village

This is a lovely property , beautifully furnished with pool in a quiet village within easy reach of Viseu and the Parc da Serra da estrella . Our family of 5 stayed for four nights and were very well looked after by the charming and helpful Theresa who lives right opposite . If you’re looking for somewhere quiet and relaxing in the countryside we could not recommend higher . Richard G. England

Une belle maison de village

Nous avons passé une semaine agréable dans cette maison fonctionnelle, propre et bien équipée. La piscine peu profonde est néanmoins suffisamment grande pour faire des longueurs. Merci à Isabel, toujours à l'écoute et prompt à donner de bons conseils. Une adresse à recommander pour un séjour au cœur d'un Portugal authentique.

Excelente estadia!

A casa é acolhedora e tem uma decoração muito cuidada. Possui todas as comodidades, tanto no interior como no exterior, necessárias a uma excelente estadia em família ou com um grupo de amigos. Os anfitriões estão sempre disponíveis e são muito atenciosos. De realçar ainda, o pequeno-almoço com magníficos produtos caseiros e regionais. Irei certamente regressar para usufruir de mais uns dias de descanso nesta excelente casa rural.
