Mooi huisje gelegen in het rustige pittoreske landschap van Marvao.

We spent a week in this beautiful house and loved every minute of it. This is not your average holiday rental, this is the owners´ second home and you can see the love and care they have put into it. Communication with Victoria and Neal was very welcoming and easy going and Bruno is extrordinarily friendly and helpful - thanks again!

The heart of the house is the large veranda with big dining table, loungy sofa and a magnificent view of the hills. It feels like you are in your own private tree house, sitting atop the olives and the oak trees. The pool is not meant for workouts but perfect for cooling down and relaxing. The kitchen is fully equipped and invites to spend the late afternoon preparing dinner in the shade (or you use the gas BBQ in the back).

The property is located on a very small road where only two or three cars pass by to the neighbouring houses. The next store is a 10 minutes drive away, a bigger supermarket 15 to 20. The drive up to Marvao Castle is also about 15 Minutes.

Apart from the veranda, our favourite places to go were the river pool in Portagem and the garden of the bar O Castelo in Marvao. There are more places to see (you´ll find an extremely user friedly folder prepared by the owners), but what you really want to do is sit on the porch, read a book, sip a cold drink and enjoy the peace and quiet . We would love to come back!

Muito agradável, acolhedor. Foi excelente para descansar. Obrigada ao Sr. Bruno pela receção. Local a voltar seguramente.

Até breve...

Gostámos muito do enquadramento paisagístico da casa e da recuperação interessante que foi feita. A casa está decorada com gosto e sensibilidade, cruzando peças antigas, algumas com valor etnográfico, um certo toque oriental, com todo o conforto necessário para uma estadia agradável.

Apenas uma sugestão construtiva - na zona das refeições, seria interessante e mais reconfortante uma carpete, mesmo de juta ou corda, debaixo da mesa - de inverno o mosaico do chão torna-se frio.

De resto, o alpendre é muito agradável, o silêncio, o chilrear dos pássaros, o badalo das ovelhas... é um espaço realmente ideal para recuperar energias e apreciar a beleza do campo puro, que ainda vai existindo neste «nosso» Portugal.

Obrigada pela bela estadia!

We stayed at this lovely cottage for ten days and loved every minute. Everything one could possibly want is there, except WiFi, but that only adds to the complete tranquillity of the surroundings. The view of the setting sun from the terrace is spectacular, there are plenty of local places to visit and we very much hope to return. Bruno is a very useful contact and helped us plan our arrival by car from Spain. Truly a small corner of paradise.

wonderfully quiet location, lovely property, well equipped, comfortable & cozy in the evenings. Great plunge pool which is bigger than it looks in the photo. Bruno who oversees arrival & departure is very informative & polite.
