Gîte / Cottage


Renovated authentic stone house in beautiful green mountain area in Portugal (Serra do Açor) furnished with new furniture and a 10 meter swimming pool with water straight from the mountains.
The cottage is very nicely situated, surrounded by olive trees and with beautiful views over green mountains with terraces that were originally built and used for the cultivation of all kinds of crops by the original self-sufficient inhabitants. Wild boars are sometimes spotted. Tap water is delicious and comes straight from a spring in the mountain. Locally produced olive oil, wine, honey and agua ardente are available in nearby aldeia historica Piódão.

Layout house
The house is completely newly built inside and consists of 1 large bedroom with king size bed and a modern ensuite bathroom with bath on the ground floor and 2 bedrooms on the first floor and a bathroom with shower cubicle. House is heated in winter by a cozy wood stove.

Culture and leisure
The house is for people who want to combine culture with nature and love hiking and tranquility. Ideal for people who want to go on long mountain walks or just want to sit by the wood stove with a good book.
In summer, there is a covered terrace for long lunches and dinners and a second terrace with sun loungers for sun lovers. Natural private pool with beautiful views and natural public pool 3 minutes by car or 10 minutes (downhill) walk. Three typical Portuguese restaurants 10 minutes by car. Various activities in the wider area (wine tasting, rafting, skiing, visiting villages).

I bought this house in '09. Built by my grandfather 60 years ago and now become a 'ruin'.Every year we went on vacation and I was fascinated by the way of life, the landscape and the friendly people.Idyllisch and simple.Time seemed to stand still.Rustic stone houses in a labyrinth of narrow paths that connect the terraces with each other.And all created by hand, with slate from the mountains.I'm sure you will have a nice holiday here !

Explanation of the prices & cancellation policy

The first deposit, 1/3 of the rental amount, confirms the booking.

Rental amount is all inclusive, ie:
water, gas, electricity, bed and kitchen linen, towels, firewood, final cleaning, wifi, (and stock of coffee, tea, sugar, salt & pepper)

Deposit/deposit (refundable): €150

The remaining rental amount (2/3) must be paid at least 1 month before arrival in Foz dos Barreiros and you will also receive a payment reminder.

The deposit of 150 EUR must be paid with the remaining amount and is fully refundable if the house is left in the same condition.

Minimum rental amount is EUR 450. (After being unchanged for a number of years, all rental prices have been increased by EUR 50 per stay in 2023, for short stays such as weekend and midweek as well as a week rental period)

The payments are non-refundable. I recommend taking out travel insurance/cancellation insurance for unforeseen circumstances.
