About this property
Tranquil stone cottage by lovely lake.
Tranquil cottage by lovely Castelo do Bode lake, that offers you the best of Portuguese countryside combined with lakeside living.
Ideal for walkers, cyclists, water sport lovers or simply for those who want to get away. The house is 300m from Castelo do Bode, one of Portugal's biggest lakes, and is ideal for families, couples or groups of friends.
The house is self-contained with a garden and patio where you can sit, eat, drink or simply enjoy the views.
(Alojamento Local 1945)
Swimming: Castelo do Bode (castle of the billy goat) lake is 300m away. The water is refreshingly cool in the summer and it is wonderful to swim in.
There are plenty of fluvial beaches to choose from and there is a map in the house. They are all very close.
Fishing is also possible and there are boat hire facilities in Ferreira do Zêzêre, approximately 20 min by car.
Cycling: The Ribatejo countryside is unexplored and there are plenty of tracks you can follow. There are two bicycles in the garage that are freely available for guests' use. It's an ideal way of exploring the countryside. And if you get lost don¡t worry all roads lead to a café.
Sightseeing: Tomar, the historical town of the Order of the Templars is a short drive away. The Convent of Christ on the hilltop is a must. The Sanctuary of Fátima, holy place of pilgrimage is around 30km away. Castelo de Almoural, set on a tiny island of the Tagus was built as a fortress in 1171. Lovely spot for a picnic.
Torres Novas has many fine churches within its castle walls.
There are many small villages around the lake that are worth visiting such as Dornes, a UNESCO protected village and Constância, right on the banks of the River Tagus.

About the host
Hosted by Wilf Kruppa
We love the country, even though we are city folk, and once our children came along we knew we had to show them what country life is all about. And we succeeded! One is hooked on fishing thanks to the lake right by us and the other loves wildlife - insects, bugs, animals so he has found his ideal playground!
We are not Portuguese but have lived here on and off for 20 years. We love the people, the country, the weather and the pace of life. It´s incredibly safe making it an ideal place to bring up children. We are a mixture ourselves, English- Italian brought up in South Africa and Irish-German brought up in Wales! It only seemed right to add yet another country and culture to our mixture...

Why they chose this property
We saw this property advertised and fell in love with it when we stayed for a weekend. We have always loved stone houses and thought there would be plenty around but actually Casa de Pedra is one of the few around.
The garden is big enough to laze about in but also small enough to maintain as we don´t live here. All the trees we have planted belong to our two sons and they absolutely love staying at Casa de Pedra as do we!

What makes this property unique
Whatever time of the year you go to Casa de Pedra there is always something to do. In the summer the lake is fabulous and much better than the rough, cold sea you find on the Atlantic coast and in winter there are plenty of country walks to go on. It is also incredibly still and peaceful so a real treat to recharge your batteries. But the best part for us is that it is still authentically Portuguese where time seems to have stood still. The kindness and friendliness of the people who live around this area is simply wonderful. A littel gem!
