Casa do Moinho means house with the mill. Our old granite holiday home is located on the river 'Rio Vouga' in the beautiful green region of Alta Beira in the Dão region. Delicious wine is made in the Dão region. Scattered in the green hills with vineyards are small charming villages.
We bought Casa do Moinho in 2016 and had it refurbished. We have kept everything in its original state as much as possible. Like the old fireplace in the living room. The house can accommodate up to 4 people. Downstairs, adjacent to the terrace and veranda, is a (always cool in the summer) lovely kitchen with dishwasher, Nespresso machine (cups available) and all other facilities. A staircase leads upstairs to a landing to which the 2 bedrooms and bathroom with toilet and walk-in shower are adjacent.
In the living room you will find lots of games, a bookcase full of books and a record player with singles and LPs. Outside is a beautiful terrace where you can relax. There is a barbecue. The 4×8 meter saltwater swimming pool with terrace and sun loungers is another place to relax and enjoy.
Casa do Moinho is walled and is free but not isolated. Our first neighbors can be found 300-500 meters away. Around the house are several places where you can retreat, if you want. The area is quiet and safe and there is a breathtaking silence and tranquility in the morning and evening. We are still impressed by the beautiful starry sky every time.
We have given half of the watermill and management to a local farmer. From May to October he grinds his corn into flour, his wife bakes delicious cornbread and they sell it at the local market. Who knows, the farmer might put lettuce, tomatoes or onions in front of you. As the Portuguese are: generous.
Finally, we enjoy the wonderful and soft water of our own water source time and time again . Half the village used to come here to get water and we are still often told that our spring water is the best in the area. This water is for drinking and showering and is heated by a solar water heater.
We hope you will enjoy our little paradise as much as we do!
