A house made for the cold

A traditional fireplace for the long evenings, a designer wood stove and air conditioning: there is always a way to keep the house warm. The kitchen is fully equipped for unhurried dinners, and the Delta coffee machine takes care of the mornings. Towels and toiletries are included.

Short days, well spent

In the morning, a walk up the Serra da Portela, right next door, or one of the waymarked trails of Alvaiázere. In the afternoon, Penela castle, Santiago da Guarda or Coimbra, about 45 km away. On Saturday mornings, the Ansião market. And at the end of the day, the fire.
