Depending on the composition, it may be nice to divide a smaller group over several accommodations. There are two guest houses available on the quinta in addition to the villa. If desired, the guest rooms can be booked extra. For bookings of more than 6 people, 1 guesthouse (for 7-8 people) or 2 guesthouses (for 9-10 people) is included in the price.
There are a total of five bedrooms, four bathrooms, two kitchens, a recreation room/café, a courtyard with gas barbecue, a spacious saltwater private swimming pool (5 x 10 m) with pool bar and plenty of outdoor space including several terraces with sun and shade, various seating areas, a large lawn, orchard, a volleyball net and a pétanque court. There is free wifi everywhere. The villa has air conditioning, the guest houses do not.
Central Portugal is a beautiful hilly region, away from mass tourism. The quinta offers a lot of privacy and at the same time has a wide view. There is always a nice spot to be found; in the shade or in the sun.
The quinta is located more than three quarters of an hour's drive east of Coimbra and is located on the outskirts of the village of Barril de Alva. In the village there is a café, a mini-supermarket and an authentic Portuguese restaurant, on a river where you can also fish and swim/paddle. A 5-minute drive (3 km) is a lively village with a few restaurants, cozy terraces, a bakery, a butcher, two small supermarkets, a drugstore/pharmacy and some other small shops. There is a landscaped river beach with bar/restaurant where you can swim. There is also a campsite here. There is also a nice beach between Barril de Alva and Coja.
The quinta is a 2-hour drive from Porto airport and 3 hours from Lisbon airport.
