Casa na Colina is a beautifully situated former quinta. The house has everything for a pleasant stay. The beds are fine, nice spacious bathroom and lovely terrace with a view over Porto Carvalhoso. The outdoor pool is small, but offers wonderful cooling during hotter days.
The accompanying cottage is simple, but complete. In short: highly recommended!

Wow, what a great place! We stayed there with our 3 children (1, 4 and 13 years) in the beautifully situated house of Ellen and Ralph. For us, the house was ideal, the eldest had his own cottage, and there were fences everywhere so that the youngest could roam freely. The house is fully equipped and we felt very welcome!

Lovely comfortable house with fantastic views.

Beautiful complete house with all the trimmings. Complete kitchen equipment, Dutch television channels, various reading books.

Pleasant contact with the landlord.

Small swimming pool available, nice to cool off in (but is not a full-fledged pool to spend days in).

Location (on a hill, a bit outside the built-up world) provides beautiful views. At the same time, this means that you need the car for every activity or errand.

This house in the mountains could also have been called the house with the priceless view. Delicious breakfast and relaxation with this view will not get boring. A challenging ride up (but hey, what is a holiday without any ten...

This house in the mountains could also have been called the house with the priceless view. Delicious breakfast and relaxation with this view will not get boring. A challenging ride up (but hey, what is a holiday without any tension) brings you to a place with privacy and tranquility. Definitely recommended.
