Pets not allowed
Our retro caravan is idyllically located at the top of the hill of our beautiful quinta (Portuguese term for farmhouse). It has a double bed, a small table with benches, storage space and a gas stove. You can use the shared covered outdoor kitchen, bbq and bathroom and toilet. On the terrace of the caravan you can enjoy the surroundings in peace. The surrounding land is 3 acres and consists mainly of olive grove where there are also some other cottages. There is ample opportunity for rest and entertainment: relax in a hammock among the olive trees or take a dip in the river Rio do Mondego. This oasis of tranquility in the protected natural area of Serra da Estrela offers the opportunity to fully enjoy a beautiful landscape. The area is not only great for hiking enthusiasts; there is also much to do for swimmers, bon vivants and doers.
Nature and surroundings
The Serra da Estrela Natural Park is the largest protected area in Portugal and is located in the central massive mountain region, on a plateau that slopes slightly to the northeast. The mountains here are separated by river valleys. Among others, the Mondego and Zêzere rivers originate here. The quinta is located on the Caminho de Santiago pilgrimage route. The breathtaking small-scale cultural landscape alternates with vistas and rugged nature in the valley of the Mondego. For the experienced hiker there is the trek to the top of the Tentinolho (950 meters) from the nature house. The less experienced hiker can walk from the farmhouse, parallel to the Rio do Mondego river, through the valley to the Mizarela and Pero Soares. We advise you to come by car because the farm is remote. The nearest supermarket is 25 min drive. Don't have a car? Then take the cab that will drop you off at the traffic circle near the quinta. From there it is a 10 min walk.
