Casa Adega

Are you looking for a relaxing holiday in central Portugal? In the small rural village of Eirigo, near Mortágua, I offer you three holiday homes, Casa Adega, Casa Escola Velha and Casa Laranjeira. Each house has its own character. In Eirigo you will experience the relaxed and friendly atmosphere of rural Portugal and enjoy the tranquility of nature. Mortágua offers typical Portuguese dishes and the best wines. It is also the perfect starting point for day trips to the high mountains of Serra de Estrela and Caramulo, the sunny beaches of Costa Nova and Figueira da Foz and the beautiful cities of Coimbra, Aveiro and Viseu.

The houses are situated around a central garden with swimming pool and olive grove. All houses also have their own outdoor space, with dining table and sitting area. In the garden you can see original “espigueiros”, the traditional wooden maize barns.

Casa Adega was built by hand in 1948 with the help of the whole village. It is built entirely of xisto (slate) stone from a local quarry. The stonemason who did all the recent renovation work on the stone walls, and one of the villagers grew up in this house with their siblings. They can tell you that the stones for the house were mined with homemade gunpowder and transported by ox cart. The living area of ​​this house is on the first floor. From the balcony and the large windows next to the dining table you have a magnificent view of the 'Serra de Lousã' mountain range, about 50 kilometers in the distance.
