About this property

Renovated granite house w/pool in quiet rural valley nr Tabua & Serra Estrela

Quinta Serrano, with its beautiful garden, well-appointed house and peaceful location is the perfect accommodation for anyone wanting to explore central Portugal. The house is situated in a largely uninhabited valley with few neighbours and sweeping views of mountains and forests, whilst at the same time being conveniently located just five minutes drive away from Tabua where visitors will have easy access to shops, cafes and restaurants.

Hikers and cyclists will find many trails right outside their door leading to river beaches, schist villages and panoramic vistas. Nature lovers will be thrilled by hooting owls, nightjars and a plethora of butterflies. Nestled between the Mondego and Alva rivers, this stunning apartment with granite walls, and cathedral ceiling is located in a peaceful and idyllic setting overlooking the Caramulo Mountains. Coimbra, Viseu & the Serra Estrela mountains are all less than an hour's drive away.

The kitchen, dining and living area is open-plan and features modern appliances, a dining room table that seats six, an antique writing desk, cathedral ceilings with exposed wooden beams, granite walls, highly polished wood floors, and a wood salamander. No less than eight sets of windows offer panoramic views of the surrounding hills and the garden. The bathroom and the Caramulo bedroom are located just off the living area, but the Garden View bedroom is down a short hall, offering a bit more privacy and easy access to the garden and pool area. Guests can make use of an additional eating area outside which is shaded by a plum tree. Parking is available on the property for up to two cars.

Excelente experiencia en la naturaleza.
Hemos pasado tres semanas en pareja y con amigos y la experiencia en mitad de la montaña, pero cerca de Tábua con todos los servicios, ha sido estupenda (imprescindible disponer de un vehículo). Hemos hecho excursiones a ciudades y pueblos de la región, hemos ido a bañarnos al Atlántico, hemos hecho senderismo desde la casa y hemos disfrutado de la casa y el jardín, especialmente de las noches frescas incluso en agosto. Lo que más nos ha sorprendido han sido las magníficas playas fluviales de la zona (incluso con banderas azules), el frescor y transparencia del agua de los ríos y la belleza de los entornos. Laura y Andrew han sido unos anfitriones muy especiales, siempre disponibles y siempre discretos y respetuosos. La casa ha resultado muy cómoda, nos han facilitado todo lo necesario, hemos llegado a dormir cinco personas. Ha sido un lujo degustar los exquisitos huevos, verduras y frutas de la pequeña explotación que regentan los propietarios. En resumen, máxima satisfacción con este alojamiento vacacional y con sus anfitriones.

A casa é muito acolhedora, faz-nos sentir em casa. Temos tudo o necessário. Jardim lindo, grande, piscina grande. Excelente propriedade onde podemos descansar divertir e passar Excelente tempo em família. Paisagem lindíssima, dá para aproveitar o wue a natureza tem de bom. Muito sossego. Muitos locais para visitar pelos "arredores". Os proprietários muito simpáticos e acolhedores. Vivem no andar de baixo, mas mal damos conta da presença deles. Aconselho a quinta serrano a todos, vão adorar.

5 dias de descanso e prazer!
A propriedade é tal e qual a descrição. Sentimo-nos totalmente em casa, a Laura e o Andrew são anfitriões impecáveis, muito amistosos e disponíveis. Tivemos bastante privacidade e a casa é muito agradável. A localização é muito isolada, havendo assim mais privacidade e descanso. Adorámos a estadia. Os arredores são fantásticos para visitar. Parabéns Laura e Andrew. Obrigado por tudo!

Maravilhoso refúgio de tranquilidade e natureza
Adorámos a estadia nesta casa onde tudo está posto como se estivessemos em nossa casa, onde acordamos com os passarinhos a cantar, o som dos sinos das cabras que vão pastar ao pé do rio e o sol maravilhoso que nos brindou durante uma semana. O jardim é lindíssimo e os anfitriões são extremamente cautelosos para manter a nossa privacidade, ainda que estejam por perto. Foi uma excelente base para ir a praias fluviais, como a da Senhora da Ribeira, a aldeias históricas, como Piódão, a percursos amigos dos patins em linha, como a Ecovia do Dão (recomendo entrar em Treixedo), provar a gastronomia local (Caldeirão da Bruxa é obrigatório, perto de Midões)... Recomendo!
