About this property

Casa BelaVista. Totally private luxury 3 bed home with fabulous views

As the name suggests the house sits at the head of shallow valley with stunning views towards the coast nestled on the edge of a sleepy and tiny Portuguese village. The private detached 3 bedroom home sits within beautiful lawned gardens adorned with flower beds and shrubs with the 10 meter by 5 meter pool offering total privacy. The interior design is open plan and split level offering interior decor to a high standard. A short drive away from the home you will find many other attractions.
Coimbra, a 20 minute drive away, is an ancient city with a famous university and is a great place to tour around and experience Portuguese life with cafés and restaurantes on every corner. Tomar, another historical city is a 30 minute drive south boasting the famous Convento de Cristo
A 40 minute drive takes you to the coastline with endless sandy beaches and the nearby Roman ruins of Conimbriga are well worth a visit. A walk around the ramparts in nearby Penela castle has great views towards the Serra de Lousã and the Parque Biological Zoo in Miranda do Corvo will keep the children entertained for several hours. Wild river beaches, a short journey away offer an exciting alternative to the normal beach.
On foot you can take off on numerous local paths to explore the nearby countryside. Cakes and morning coffee await in either of the local cafés, a 10 or 15 minute walk away. Condeixa, Miranda and Penela have fish and vegetable markets as well as the larger supermarkets.

Loved the house
Very nice secluded house. Everything we could want in the kitchen. Loved having screens on the windows so we could keep them open most of the time. Pol was a little cold for us but the weather had cooled so that is expected. We would definitely stay here again!

Fantastisch
Unser Aufenthalt in "Bel Vista" war einfach nur genial! Der Besitzer, Steve, ist ein wundervoller Gastgeber, der einen mit tollen Tipps versorgt und der uns ein grandioses Ferienhaus überlassen hat, welches keine Wünsche offen lässt. Das Haus ist außen wie innen top gepflegt. Der 50 qm große Pool ist traumhaft! Alles absolut sauber und in Schuss. Man fühlt sich sofort wohl! Das Haus liegt am Hang und man hat eine wunderschöne Aussicht, auch direkt vom Bett aus! Es ist absolut ruhig, null Verkehr...eine unglaublich schöne Atmosphäre! Ich würde dieses Haus sowie den Host zu 100 Prozent empfehlen. Dies war unser schönstes Feriendomizil, das wir je gebucht haben. Herzlichen Dank, Steve!

Wonderful relaxed break
Just returned from a lovely stay at Casa BelaVista. Beautiful home set up with everything that we needed, comfortable and clean. Stunning views - felt like we were really away from it all. Loved the village and location - off the beaten path but with access to the local town, Condexia, for food and amenities. The pool was fab for a swim and great in the evening watching the swallows swoop in for a dip. A pair of woodpeckers came by each morning, the buzzards circled overhead and the small birds in the surrounding trees kept us company throughout the day. I will particularly miss the bells chiming from the nearby church. We hope to be back one day.

Out in the green wunderful!
We have enjoyed a wonderful time in this house. We loved the house with a perfect kitchen and bedroom with an amazing view. Stephen is a perfect host. it's a shame the time went by so quickly. We can only recommend everyone to spend their vacation here. whoever loves peace and quiet will get their money's worth. If we travel to Portugal we certainly will come back. Thank you for everything

About the host

Hosted by Stephen Bridge

Host profile image
Hi. We came to live and work permanently in Portugal in 1991 and have grown to love this quiet and unassuming country. In 2005, we designed and built Casa BelaVista as a permanent residence and only recently decided to offer the home for tourism holidays. We also rent out an apartment on a golf and beach resort.

Why they chose this property

The split level nature of the house sits naturally within the contoured gardens. The position offers total privacy and tranquility with elevated views over the local countryside. Yet the house is not isolated, sitting on the edge of the small hamlet with the city of Coimbra a 15 minute drive away and other local attractions and sites nearby.

What makes this property unique

A little oasis. Privacy is guaranteed with the absence of neighbours but can be broken by swallows diving for water in the pool or overhead birds of prey screaching in search of their young or rabbits dining on the lawn.
