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.

Paradise in Portugal
Searched for and found online, Andrew and Laura the quinta owners’ were most helpful and very friendly without being intrusive. They were always willing to assist and advice throughout our two week stay. We went on the 28th August to visit our land near Tabua, bought many years ago. We flew in to Porto early evening and picked up a little Smart rental car at the airport. We stayed overnight in Porto and spent the following day exploring this delightful city. We hope to go back with more time in the future. We drove the the two and a half hours to the quinta, having received useful and detailed directions from Andrew and Laura in advance. Having spent longer in beautiful Porto than intended we arrived at the quinta mid evening as it was getting dark, to be greeted by Laura and Andrew. We were given a tour with an explanation of the facilities. Although we had seen the excellent photographs provided on the website entering the house was a revelation. The house was a fantastic country home, a big vase of freshly cut flowers on the large dining room table to greet us. The open plan living area was spacious and elegant with an excellent kitchen, which we made good use of! It felt like home. The two bedrooms were both quiet and comfortable. There was a nice bathroom, with both bath and an excellent shower in the bath. We woke the next morning and were able to take in the view …. awesome! The lovely granite quinta surrounded by fields and trees. A little terrace by the front door with two chairs from which to view the beautiful garden next to the house, cup of coffee in hand. We felt we had reached paradise. Everything in the house worked like clockwork, Laura and Andrew were nearby and available to answer any questions. Nearby Tabua is a quiet little town but with good facilities, even an organic shop and a restaurant next door with vegan options on the menu. There are many nice places to visit and walks to be taken. We really enjoyed our time in Portugal and will certainly be going back. We strongly recommend this house and the delightful hosts.

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.

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!
