Stayed for 3 days and haven't left the place for a moment. We had plans to go and visit the river, nearby village and town but we got mesmerized by our cute hut and the nature and the furthest we went was the shower :-) The space created by Anne and Riccardo is heaven - peaceful, pretty and private. We loved the natural building structures, actually we were fascinated by it all. Had an amazing time and would love to come back in the future for longer. Definitely recommend!

This was 100% won-der-full in any way! One with nature, eco, supernice owners, 'the' view... Just go there!

The Eco-hut is a perfect place for a nature retreat in Portugal's countryside. Here man and nature can live in harmony. Ricardo and Anabel are very welcoming and interesting people to meet. Go for it and enjoy!

A beautiful place with a charming and well finished, unique "house". Comfortable bed, fully equipped kitchen, charging points, wifi and a hot shower - best of both worlds, both off grid and comfort! Beautiful part of Portugal with some great river beaches in easy reach by car. Anne & Riccardo are lovely & helpful and were easy to contact.

We stayed in the most ecological house ever. It was like living as part of the earth!! A perfect private house, with the best view ever! We liked very much our hosts too. We'll defenitely go back next time we're in Portugal.

Le meilleur hébergement de airbnb qui était aujourd'hui. Mon conseil pour ceux qui veulent entrer en contact avec la nature plus de soucis et le stress de la vie quotidienne. J'ai pu amener mon chien. Riccardo et Anne étaient propres. Je recommande et que vous souhaitez revenir en arrière.

"The best family lives in the best place. They have created an eco paradise!!" Truely magical example of sustainable excellence in the wilds of Portugal. Ricardo and Annabelle have nurtured their beautiful dream and spun it into an incredible harmonic communion with nature.Wow

Vous souhaitez vous retrouver dans un lieu insolite. Anne et Riccardo vous accueille dans un lieux magnifique et magique dans un environnement naturel. Ils ont conçu un vrai nid douillet, chaleureux, paisible. Ils ont conçu eux même ce lieux qui respecte l'environnement. Ils ont su répondre aux différentes demandes et besoins, en particulier les différents lieux de baignades dans les rivières qui se situent à proximité. Le plus, ils vous offrent un vin portugais à votre arrivée. Je recommande ce lieu.

On arrival I was warmly welcomed by Nuno and his family. I found that Magnolia House is a great place to stay for visiting the cultural centre of Coimbra to the west or exploring the national park of Serra da Estrela to the east. In between are many delightful schist villages and river beaches to be discovered. At the end an eventful day, and before returning to the comfort of Magnolia House, there are several restaurants in and around V.N. de Poires to choose from. (Two in particular were recommended to me: Restaurante As Medas and A Estrela Da Mó.) Maria and Nuno are conscientious hosts and have created a very special place to stay. Everything you could need is provided and is of good quality. During my stay I needed a cafetière so that I could make some real Portuguese coffee and it appeared in moments.

This place is special and wonderful! We stayed 3 nights with our 2 children and loved counting stars, watching the full moon, have breakfast and play in the garden and sleep so nice in the good beds and nice renovated house.

La casa de Maria és un espacio único, dónde disfrutar del silencio y un entorno rural de gran valor. Nuestro hijo disfrutó del jardín. Tuvimos un asesoramiento excelente y gran ayuda de su marido Nuno para todo lo que necesitábamos. Lástima que marcharamos tan pronto por motivos personales.

We were a family of 9 travelling through Portugal and we chose this place as a base for visiting Coimbra and neighborhoods. Positive aspects Paulo was on time for the check-in at late night. The house is composed of an integrated kitchen with dining room in the ground floor, which was good for keeping the family together. In the 2nd floor there are 4 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The house has a huge garden but... Place It's not ideal for visiting Coimbra (30 to 40 min drive). Negative aspects 3 bathrooms were advertised but there were only 2. This was critical for a family of 9. The fridge in the kitchen is very small. There were few basic things / utensils in the kitchen, like bowls for example. The beds are old and very noisy - we had to avoid changing the sleeping position during night in order not to wake up the others. The towels are a bit old. The house is not recommended for children below 4 y (stair is a bit dangerous). There is no internet (it was not advertised but we were not expecting to find a house without it nowadays) There is no clothes washing machine. The garden is huge but it looks abandoned (it was dirty and there were a lot of plants dead)  If visiting Coimbra and neighborhoods again in the future, I would not stay at this place again.

The house is really great, we could have been staying much longer!

A experiência na Vila Helena foi muito Boa. A casa está bem localizada com supermercado a 5minutos de carro. O Check in correu muito bem e o Sr. Paulo foi muito prestável.

Nice garden

Casal muito simpatico, local muito bonito com uma vista fantastica. Voltaremos. Recomendamos!

The house was perfect, very spacious and fully equipped; moreover all the divisions were impeccably cleaned. Brett and Joana were perfect hosts giving all the privacy whilst helping in every situation. Nothing negative to say about the house. A trip to repeat!

This place is amazing. The house is big with lots of space and really quiet and relaxing. The pool is fantastic! Our kids had so much fun. Brett and Joana are very professional and gentle hosts. We will defintely come.back some time!

El sitio alejado perfecto para desconectar y disfrutar de la naturaleza, a la casa no le falta absolutamente de nada, los anfitriones muy amables y atentos en todo momento para disfrutar de la estancia, muy recomendable y seguramente repetiremos

Los anfitriones han estado pendiente de nosotros en todo momento. La casa de 10, la zona tranquila y con mil posibilidades en cuento a actividades. Una pena no habernos llevado las bicis. Limpieza y trato impecables. Mil gracias. Intentaremos repetir.

Joana and Brett are professional hosts. Very clean and spacious appartment. Lots of privacy. They left the area during the day so we could enjoy the swimmingpool in private. We had the whole hous to ourselves. Brett and Joana have their own appartment. The house is 25 min from Coimbra. The peace and quiet of the house and the swimmingpool in combination with visits to Coimbra which is a beautiful town makes the stay very pleasent.

La casa cuenta con excelentes vistas del valle y montes. Tanto la terraza como el jardín son refugios ideales para disfrutar de paz y tranquilidad rodeados de la naturaleza. La casa cuenta con varios niveles de habitabilidad por lo que consideramos que es más apta para parejas o familias con niños ya crecidos (mayores de 10 años) debido al reparto de dormitorios y la diferente ubicación de éstos en la casa. Cuarto de baño muy amplio, como también los es la cocina. Ésta quizás requiera de alguna actualización, pero cuenta con lo necesario. El pueblo es un lugar relajado, con una tienda de comestibles (muy cercana a la casa), un bar con wifi que ofrece comidas. Otros restaurantes cercanos también son recomendables. Playas fluviales a pocos minutos de conducción. Penacova está a unos 5 minutos conduciendo (con restaurantes, algunas tiendas, supermedado Lidl, y muy buenos pasteles de convento). Coimbra a media hora en coche. Aconsejamos no llevar un vehículo muy grande porque la calle de la casa es estrecha e impide la maniobrabilidad. Es mejor aparcarlo en la carretera principal del pueblo (a 5 minutos andando de la casa). Familia muy agradable y servicial. Sin dudarlo una familia "muy salada".

Wonderful and relaxing place. Host very kind.

Amazing place, in a quiet area ideal for resting. The room is large and has a balcony to enjoy the view. It would have been nice to use the pool, but since the river is so close by, we could go to some beaches and enjoy the weather.

Estancia en un sitio tranquilo y limpio, Mar es atenta y todo ha sido perfecto.

De heer Carlos was zeer attent tijdens ons verblijf. Het huis is erg leuk om vrienden te sluiten, zoals ons geval was. Heeft een zeer goede ruimte, maar we waren niet in staat om te profiteren van de winter te nemen in zijn geheel. Misschien een andere keer :) Het zwembad is ook erg goed, we geven nog een aantal duiken! We gaan 2017 op de beste manier!

Michele était un excellent hôte: sympathique et très serviable. Sa maison est bien rangé, propre et confortable avec tout l'équipement nécessaire, même pour un plus long séjour. L'endroit est calme et un peu de distance qui nous a plu en particulier parce que un beau jardin et un balcon donnant sur le paysage verdoyant sont attachés à la maison. Nous avons apprécié notre séjour et senti immédiatement à l'aise. Il est l'endroit idéal si vous aimez la campagne et des excursions à proximité des points d'intérêt naturels (plages de la rivière, montagnes, forêts, etc.).

Wonderful little house, although little might not do it in this case, it is not that small! The view is excellent, lots of birds, green and mountains. The garden is very well kept, we could even dig up our own potatoes. Well worth to visit when you're in need of some honest peace and quiet! River beaches are very close, little towns of Lousa and Miranda do Corvo at about 15 minutes drive. Excellent!

Micheles place is absolutely beautiful & very spacious. We loved the kitchen, the living room & the fantastic bed. We were also allowed to use the terrace which is attached to a beautiful garden. It was all very clean and tidy, the kitchen is very well equipped & the washing mashine in the bathroom worked well. Michele is very friendly and helpful, making you feel at home but also respects your privacy. Thank you very much for having us! It was a great stay!

My husband, our little dog and I had a wonderful month at Michele's place. Michele was extremely kind and helpful. We enjoyed spending time with her and her dogs. We were so sad to leave and we hope to go back in a near future. The house is spacious, full of light and cozy. You can find everything you need in the kitchen to cook delicious meals and even desserts. The bed was comfortable and we loved the view on the surroundings hills from the bedroom and the living room. The garden is a peaceful place to relax and the village is lovely. There are nice river pools close by and hiking trails. Going to Lousā take 10-15 minutes, to Coimbra, 30-40 minutes, while Aveiro is less than 1 hour away. Highly recommended!

Merci à Michele de nous avoir dépannés avec sa jolie maison en dernière seconde. Endroit charmant au calme absolu, permettant de profiter des magnifiques villages environnants, tout en étant à à peine 25min de Coimbra. La maison a vraiment beaucoup de charme et est parfaitement équipée. Nous avons passé 3 nuits sans un bruit, quel luxe! L'accueil de Michele a été des plus agréables, distillant des bonnes informations avec un réel plaisir. Bref une très bonne adresse permettant de rayonner aux alentours .

We hebben een heerlijke week doorgebracht in dit knusse, mooi ingerichte huisje. Het huisje is van alle gemakken voorzien, en de mooie grote tuin met fruitbomen wordt duidelijk met liefde onderhouden. Michele stond altijd klaar om informatie te geven over wat er te doen is in de omgeving, of gewoon voor een gezellig praatje.

Michelle was very friendly in her welcome and left us things for breakfast the next morning. The house is very comfortable and cozy, from the first minute you feel like at home. The bed is very comfortable and The Kitchen great for cooking. The garden and landscape are wonderful. Our dog enjoys almost more than us. In sum up a 10. Thank you Michelle!

Para quem quer passar um fim-de-semana relaxante, no meio da natureza, encontra na casa da Michele, o espaço ideal! A Michele é muito simpática e comunicativa, sempre pronta para o que for preciso. Não deixe de visitar as aldeias de xisto! A casa, está completamente equipada e ainda tem tudo para o pequeno almoço. Altamente recomendável.

A great place to stay! Peaceful, quiet, a nice pool for the kids with lots of stuff to play with, adults can relax on inflatable mattresses. You have everything what you need. Beautiful bedrooms, living room, 2 bathrooms, ... Drinks are provided (Water). Super breakfast and welcome dinner with Pizza and wine. Marleen makes all the wishes come true. Friendly hosts and a sweet dog! Thank you! We have enjoyed our stay!

Marleen und Benny waren tolle Gastgeber und wir fühlten uns wie zu Hause fühlen. Obwohl die Gastgeber den gleichen Raum teilen, sind sie sehr vorsichtig ein Maximum an Privatsphäre für die Gäste zu gewährleisten. Das Haus ist sogar besser als erwartet und ist sehr gut die schöne Region zu entdecken, befindet sich in dem er sich befindet. Es ist auf jeden Fall ein Ort, wo man die Natur und die Ruhe genießen können, und wir werden sicherlich wiederkommen. Vielen Dank noch einmal für die Herstellung der Aufenthalt so angenehm.

Ons beste B&B ervaring ooit. Alles tip-top. Super lieve mensen die weten wanneer ze er moeten zijn. Behulpzaam op alle vlak. Zoek deze rust en stilte, volledig privé verblijf, op bij deze lieve mensen in het top land Portugal. Wij komen zeker terug. Jan & Sophie Daan & Hanne

bruno is a nice guy who gives us a warm welcome. the cottage is small but charming near the river, a watermill and a small waterfall. the view is lovely

Благодаря каменный коттедж находится в работе, мы были размещены в Casa Do Alto, которая немного больше, поэтому оценка относится к последним. Бруно безупречный хозяин: с самого начала заставили нас чувствовать себя очень приветствуются со своими предложениями для посещения мест, дружелюбие и готовность связаться и ответить на любые вопросы, которые возникают с нами. Casa Do Alto является приветствуя и имеет прекрасный вид и вставляется в группу домов в сланцах в реке пляж Vimieiro. Только один из домов заселены, который создает ощущение изоляции (мы искали), но не слишком много, потому что есть ресторан (очень хорошо!) На пляже. Естественная красота места является чрезвычайным и вызывает мгновенное расслабление, особенно когда единственные существа, разделяющие его с нами является уток, коз и кошек. Короче говоря, это было идеальное место для нашего отдыха, находящихся в ведении превосходного хозяина. Рекомендуется!

Wenn man das Besondere liebt, weg von aller Hektik der Zivilisation, dann ist man hier richtig! So schön, so liebevoll eingerichtet - klein, aber besonders fein. Wir würden jederzeit an den besonderen Ort zurückkommen. Ganz direkt dort kann man auch lecker essen. Wir haben alles sehr genossen. Das Häuschen ist eingebettet in eine wunderbare Natur. Wir werden sehr gerne wieder kommen - Danke, dass es Menschen wie euch gibt, die so was Schönes erhalten!

A nossa experiência foi fantástica. O local é de uma beleza rara. Tranquilidade absoluta. O Bruno foi incansável. Muito simpático e prestável. Sempre disponível para nos ajudar. Voltaria já hoje e recomendo vivamente.

Ce fut un séjour merveilleux. Le chalet de conte, très confortable et charmant. Situé dans un lieu privilégié pour les amoureux de la nature. Idéal pour aller avec des amis à fourrure et qui veulent se baigner dans les jours chauds. Hautement recommandé si vous voulez vous détendre et profiter du paysage. Bruno très sympathique et attentionné. Elle nous a offert un délicieux petit déjeuner pour recharger les batteries pour la journée. Deux jours et deux nuits à répéter ..... Enchanté.

Casa muy cómoda e impecable recepción! Como buscado, naturaleza, tranquilidad y buen ambiente. Totalmente recomendado!

Excellent space for those who enjoy nature, river water (river beach) that is watched over by rescuers and despite having some people at the weekend, is quiet. At night only the noise of passing water and nature. House typical of the area, and practically new inside. Great breakfast, and we just did not stay longer because it was already booked. Bruno strolled with us in the village so that we knew quickly how to move. Even the ducks were nice. We recommend the vimieiro restaurant next to the river. A great stay.

Chegamos aqui à noite, apenas o som da água foi ouvido. Mas quando na parte da manhã fomos para fora fomos surpreendidos beleza da natureza circundante. Montanha rio, grama verde, um moinho de água. Muito perto de um restaurante muito agradável com vista para o rio. Passar um dia aqui, eu recomendo.

We absolutely loved our stay! The house is big, with a pool and hammocks perfect to relax outside. Silvia and John are fantastic hosts. Strongly recommended!

A casa é super típica, ideal para grupos, a piscina é óptima e a Silvia é super prestável, responde a todas as questões - e nós colocámos mil - e ajuda em tudo! Muito obrigada por tudo!

Marilyn and David are both very kind, lovely persons! We had a very warm welcome and our stay was really comfortable. The rooms are beautiful, with a very nice view over the area. Terrific pool with a nice garden with all possibilities to relax. Marlilyn and David are very good hosts and the breakfast was very complete and more than enough! Very good starting point to see the centre of Portugal, the mountains with lovely natural sites, and of course the beautiful city of Coimbra. My husband and I stayed in this lovely place with our two children of 15 and 9 years old and also the children were very happy to be there!! Hope to stay once again!

David and Marilyn were very gracious and generous hosts. They gave us of their time as if we were dear old friends, took us around to showcase their town and watering holes-literally- were we had a wonderful time. Their daily breakfast is big enough, and delicious, to forego lunch. And of course, a beautiful pool are included, not to mention the wonderful landscape surrounding their property

Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour dans la maison fantastique de Marilyn et David. Merci à tous les deux nous avons vraiment nous sentir à l'aise immédiatement. Ils sont très utiles (donner une bonne information), amical et attentif. Il y avait toujours du temps pour une sorte discussion pendant le petit déjeuner fantastique et chaque fois que nous sommes sortis et entrés. Le soir, nous pouvions nous asseoir sur notre propre balcon avec une belle vue ou à l'immense piscine (même mi-septembre agréable de nager dans) . Coimbra, Conimbriga (colonie romaine fine et musée), la Serra da Estrella ....... il y a tellement de choses à voir que le temps passe passé. Nous recommandons sans la moindre réserve un séjour à Marilyn et David. Merci beaucoup. Angelika et Martin.

This place has everything you expect from a good airbnb! Marilyn and David are very nice hosts making sure you have everything you need to feel comfortable and enjoy your holiday. We loved the pool, the breakfast and the little extras they have to offer. Definately recommendable!

Le séjour était spécial. La maison a toutes les commodités et les détails et la région est très calme et agréable. Marilyn et David étaient très serviable et sympathique. Idéal Parvenir à la connaissance Lousã et Aldeias font Xisto.

Was a pleaseure be on Marylin and David house. Very kind and available for all our needs. I will come back... soon!

We had a lovely stay with lovely people. Nice room and good breakfast.

Site enchanteur dans les montagnes en banlieue de Coimbra avec des hôtes chaleureux comprenant piscine/spa/sauna et très bon petit déjeuner !
