About this property

Design village house near River Beaches and Coimbra

Casa 5A is not simply a holiday home, it is a carefully curated house shaped by a passion for authenticity, craftsmanship, and timeless beauty.

Created by a specialist in antique and decorative pieces, the house reflects years of working with unique objects, noble materials, and spaces with soul. Many of the elements you will find here are one-of-a-kind thoughtfully selected and integrated with respect for texture, quality, and harmony.

The house was entirely renovated with great care, prioritising natural materials, refined details, and a calm, cohesive atmosphere. It is designed for guests who appreciate character, aesthetic intention, and quiet elegance rather than standard accommodation.

Located in a very small and peaceful village with no passing traffic, Casa 5A offers true tranquillity. Surrounded by greenery, the area provides beautiful walking routes, several nearby "Blue Flag" river beaches, and easy access to Bussaco Forest, Coimbra, and Luso making it an ideal base to explore central Portugal while returning each day to silence and comfort.

Breakfast can be arranged in advance and served in the garden of the main house (extra cost applies). Guests are also welcome to visit the private showroom, where a curated selection of antique and decorative pieces is displayed with no obligation, simply as part of the experience.

Having a deep appreciation for food, local restaurants, and cooking, I would be delighted to share my personal recommendations from special dining experiences to simple, authentic places loved by locals should you wish to explore the region through its flavours.

Casa 5A is ideal for guests seeking authenticity, serenity, and a home with a distinct identity not just a place to stay, but a place to feel.

We have stayed in many holiday homes over the years, but this was without a doubt the most beautiful one we have ever experienced. The house is tastefully designed, beautifully decorated, and finished to an exceptionally high standard. From the moment we arrived, it felt like home – in fact, it's the kind of place you could happily live in permanently.Everything has been carefully thought through. From the whisper-quiet fan in the bedroom, which ensured a perfect night's sleep, to the beautiful barbecue, an excellent coffee machine, a large fridge with freezer compartment, a drying rack, and lovely ambient lighting. Every detail reflects the care and attention the owner has put into making her guests feel comfortable.The location is just as perfect. It is an ideal base for exploring the region, while still allowing you to enjoy the peace and authenticity of rural Portugal, surrounded by nature. Exactly what we were looking for.The owner made our stay even more special with her genuine hospitality. She welcomed us personally when we arrived and came to say goodbye when we left. She took a sincere interest in getting to know us, and even had fresh coffee waiting for us upon arrival. This kind of personal warmth is something you rarely experience.This stay exceeded all our expectations and gave us memories that we will cherish for a long time. We wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful place to anyone looking for peace, comfort, quality, and truly exceptional hospitality

Response from VrboOwner on 1 August 2026
I am only just beginning my journey on VRBO, so a review like yours means more than you can imagine. I’m sure it will help other travellers discover Casa 5A, but what makes me happiest is the thought that it may also attract kind, curious and appreciative people like you. Meeting guests from all over the world is one of the things I love most about hosting. It is so much more than simply welcoming people into a house, it’s about sharing a place I have created with love and having the privilege of getting to know wonderful people along the way. Guests like you are exactly why I try to make every stay as special as possible. Thank you again for your generosity, your warmth and your beautiful words.
