Gastvrijheid in optima forma! Maar helaas: alle glazen wijn die je op de foto's ziet hebben wij inmiddels opgedronken. Gods wonder in een notendop!

Fantastisch terrein! Heerlijk zwembad een prachtig uitzicht kortom wij zijn een ervaring rijker.

I had a lovely stay in The Poets Home. The living room, sleeping room and bathroom are spacious, clean and comfortable. It is furnished with contemporary art and with some books collected by the deceased poet Komrij. The garden is something I never experienced before. As a guest I was free to go where I felt I like to go to. I could have a swim in the pool, sit in the teahouse surrounded by water, frogs and lots of fish, walk between the grapevines. The host, Charles, is more than happy to talk about the house and about Komrij. He knows a lot about art, for being an artist himself, and is very entertaining in his story’s about art and culture. I highly recommend everyone who loves the quietness of the countryside and is interested in culture to visit this unique place. Stefan

een fijne plek,rust gecombineerd met gastvrijheid en gezelligheid. heerlijk om er weer even te zijn.

Het was een warm welkom in een prachtig huis waarin wij een fantastisch appartement mochten bewonen. Zee smaakvol ingericht, echte kunst aan de muur. Eigen terrasje en zwembad en zonsondergang, 's avinds een verkoelend windje. En af en toe gezelschap bij de borrel van onze gastheer. Wij hebben genoten!

Geweldig appartement, grote aanrader. We hebben een heerlijk verblijf gehad in Vila Pouca da Beira. Gastvrij ontvangen door de eigenaar, in de keurige en frisse "amarello" studio. Ruim bemeten met een zeer compleet ingerichte keuken en enorm balkon met fantastisch uitzicht. Het was een rustige omgeving, geen lawaai. Prima locatie voor uitstapjes in de omgeving of lekker luieren bij het zwembad. We komen zeker nog een keer terug.

Muy bonita casa, nueva, con todo lo necesario para pasar unos pocos días estupendos;), con piscina y horno de leña, y una vista increíble. Stephen y Elizabeth son muy atento, siempre disponible para ayudar con cualquier cosa que necesite. (Para aquellos que visitan el abuelo Village también resaltar la barra Wesley, con buen ambiente y muy atento a los clientes).

Fantastisch huis op pracht locatie maar wel wat lastig te bereiken over een onverharde weg. Heerlijk zwembad met prachtig uitzicht. Huis erg sfeervol en van alles voorzien. Verhuurders erg enthousiast en behulpzaam bij van alles en nog wat

Superbe maison dans un bel endroit avec d'excellents hôtes. Quinta da Madrugada apporte un tout nouveau sens à la maison à long terme en vue. La maison est très bien équipée avec tout ce que vous pourriez avoir besoin. Elizabeth et Stephen sont des hôtes et même de meilleures personnes. Je recommande vivement Quinta da Madrugada et va certainement revenir.

Une superbe vieille maison pleine de caractère dans ce village d'Avo, surplombant le coin baignade de la rivière.. Un vrai bonheur en été ! Une hôtesse très sympa non avare de conseil sur la région. Très bonne expérience !

Adressen var helt forkert. Det er derfor, vi har ventet på den forkerte adresse. Oplysningerne om værelset var også forkert: Wifi Nej, ingen parkering, er brug af køkkenet er ikke tilladt. På vores protest mod brug af køkkenet har givet os. Forskuddet oplysninger via mail, som kun musik i weekenderne er et problem var også forkert: alt efter humør musik i caféen er snoet på værelserne eller kunder fra cafe give bilerne med åbne vinduer og høj musik før. Madrassen var slidte. Den offentlige flod strand og stedet er meget rart og godt vedligeholdt.

The discription on the airbnb is accurate. Marianna is a very nice and interesting person, who speaks English fluently. She cares about you and gives you good information. She was there to recieve us and spends a lot of time in the house even though she lives in the outskirts of the village. Her recommendation of a restaurant in a nearby village was great, since it seems to be the only real restaurant for miles away - and it was really good. A menu incl. wine for two: 14 euro. You can buy breakfast at Marianna's for 3.50 euro/person, and you get more than you can eat. Only drawback was loud music from a bar in the basement that played from 10am morning to 2am night the first day. Next day was only from 10am-10pm.

La Marianna est très sympathique et toujours disponible. Je n'ai pas rester dans cette maison parce que j'étais avec mes petits enfants n'avaient plus de chambres pour accueillir tout le monde, mais rester dans une maison de pierre dans la forêt, près de la maison de Marianna. a également ici l'annonce de cette maison. C'était un séjour très agréable, Marianna était de montrer les animaux de la ferme à mes enfants, vin goûté faite par le couple! J'ai bien aimé!

Nous avons fait une jolie étape chez Marianna qui nous accueillis chaleureusement. La chambre était spacieuse avec une jolie vue sur l'agréable village " Avö". Le petit déjeuner était copieux.

Very Nice experience

Recomendo! E sem dúvida que irei voltar. Adorámos, principalmente, a simpatia e disponibilidade da D.Manuela, foi 5 estrelas! O espaço é longe do barulho, o que dá para descansar muito bem. O quarto era limpo, com tudo aquilo que precisámos! Quanto à piscina foi, também do melhor. Dá para aproveitar e relaxar. Foi tão bom! :) Em relação aos nossos vizinhos - sim, porque tivemos a companhia de uns casais também - foi ótimo também. Conclusão: aproveitem que vale a pena! Catarina e Filipe - 1 Agosto 2016

Jose and his family are great hosts. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they go out of their way to make your stay as happy as they can. Very clean. Well worth a slight detour if you are in the area. Recommended. The flat is located at the top of Jose's house and affords amazing views over the valley and beyond. It has two bedrooms, the master en suite is very large, and the second bedroom is a normal size with a shower/toilet room immediately opposite. The lounge/diner area is huge with two sofas, a large screen TV, a dining table and four chairs. There is an unfinished kitchen which has a fridge, coffee machine, crockery, and cutlery. There is no cooker (yet) but we were able to use the family kitchen downstairs which was fine. There is a terrace with a table and chairs and a large terrace umbrella. There is even a garage to put your car in. This is a wonderful place and somewhere I can see us returning to. Lovely family, lovely accommodation, lovely location.

Super accueil ! José, Héléna et leur Fils sont extrêmement sympathiques !! Ne pas hésiter à y séjourner !!! Toujours présent en cas de besoins ou pour discuter, j'ai même été invitée à manger à 2 reprises, comme à la maison !!! Très agréable et enrichissant d'être hébergée par des hôtes aussi charmant !!! En plus, pour une fois, le logement correspond à la réalité !!! Great bem-vindo ! José , Helena e seu filho são extremamente amigável !! Não hesite em ficar lá !!! Sempre presente em caso de necessidade ou para conversar, eu estava ainda convidados a comer 2 vezes em casa !!! Muito agradável e gratificante para ser hospedado por tais anfitriões adoráveis !!! Além disso , pela primeira vez , habitação corresponde à realidade !!!

Jose and his family went out of their way in every possible way and opportunity to make us feel welcome and to help us make the most of our stay in the rather beautiful part of Portugal they live. If you want to know how welcoming, friendly and accommodating a Portuguese family can be, look no further! Our experience was the very essence of the Airbnb idea of connecting people as well as property.

We had a great time in casa nobre. It was a big and spacious casa, with 2 bedrooms and bathrooms. The terrace gave us a beautiful view over the countryside. Jose and his wife were very helpful and welcomed us with a nice bottle of wine and gave us many suggestions for places to go. When a kitchen will be installed it will be even better,although we were able to use their kitchen whenever we wanted. Thanks

Nous avons passé 2 nuits très agréables chez José et sa famille. Leur accueil était extraordinaire, José et Héléna étaient très disponibles et leur fils s'est bien amusé avec les nôtres ! Ils étaient vraiment attentionnés et de très bon conseil pour notre visite de la région (José parle parfaitement français). La maison était spacieuse et confortable, et la vue depuis la terrasse et les chambres était fantastique !

If you are looking for a warm Portuguese family that welcomes you in their house- this is it! Staying on the topfloor of their house, we had a good time. Our 3 yr old loved their two sons and played all day with them in the swimmingpool. The eldest son Hugo speaks good English and translated for us all the time! In the evening this nice family invited us for dinner! Thanks again for everything!

This is a great place to stay if you're looking for a central location between Coimbra and the trails and castles of Serra da Estrela. Jose's family is so kind - and because we were there in February, the fireplace in the living room was great! The apartment is the third floor of the family's home and doesn't have a a kitchen (they're putting one in - for now there is a fridge and hot plate to use) but we were welcome to use the family's kitchen downstairs. The apartment was very clean and very comfortable! I would definitely recommend staying with this very warm and welcoming family!

Jose y Elena tienen una casa preciosa y son unos excelentes anfitriones que intentan que la estancia sea cómoda.

Adorei a experiência. Fomos muito bem recebidos, a casa bastante acolhedora e o local maravilhoso. Correu tudo muito bem, espero voltar. :))

Jolande was super vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Zij zorgde ervoor dat ik was comfortabel en was altijd zeer responsief en communicatief. Het huis had een veel karakter en ik heb echt genoten van het gevoel van privacy en rust, plus het mooie landschap. Aanbevolen voor iedereen die wil op te laden in een natuurlijke, goedkope setting.

Jolande é o perfeito anfitrião. Discreto, mas pronto para ajudar a qualquer momento, quando necessário. Ela nos deu informações precisas para descobrir a cidade de Avo e envolvente. A casa era exatamente o que esperávamos, perto da natureza, mas confortável. Melhores férias! Obrigado Jolande para tudo.

Avô a été une grande découverte pour nous, grâce à Jolande, un hôte fantastique. Il semble être difficile de trouver un tel endroit typique et animé au Portugal. La maison en pierre sur la montagne qui surplombe le village et les sont ces endroits parfaits "fluviaux praia» que nous voulons presque de les garder comme notre secret! Obrigado Jolande!

If you like quiet, close to nature yet comfortable stay, choose this quinta ! We loved it there and strongly recommend Veerle's place.

The wooden house is located above the village of Avo, hidden in the hills on a farming ground. It is the perfect place to relax after stress and hectic at home. The Alva vally offers a couple of hikking trails in a beatuiful nature. Veerle is a very nice and helpful host and in the house you find everything you need. The house and the host was the best choice for our portugal holiday

Si vous souhaitez vous reposer dans un cadre verdoyant et en pleine nature, n'hésitez pas. La roulotte est pleine de charme. Vous y serez au calme loin du tumulte des grandes villes. Par contre, la Voiture est indispensable et Coimbra ou le parc de Bucaco sont quand même à 1 heure de route. Les toilettes et la douche sont attenants à la roulotte. Et contrairement à ce qui est mentionné dans l'annonce, il n'y avait pas de wifi, ni de machine a laver. Nous avons passé un séjour très agréable.

Marion was super gastvrij en aardig. Ze heeft twee hele lieve honden die af en toe gezellig rond scharrelen over het oh zo mooie stuk land. De yurt was fantastisch en was van alle gemakken voorzien. Verder is er in buurt van alles te doen zoals kanoën en wandelen. Het was een geweldige en relaxte ervaring.

One week in the yurt at Marion's place was a week never to forget. Why? Well, where to start... Starting your day with a cold shower in the open air is a perfect way to wake up and feel totally fresh. Also a visit to the ecological toilet is quite an experience; A great view looking to your left (between the shutters) and when you get bored you look down to a beautiful mosaic work. The yurt is pretty amazing; very spacey, a nice bed to sleep, and when it get's cold you can light the stove. You can pick your own tomatoes, and spices and make yourself a dinner in the well equipped kitchen. If you like to make some fire, then there is a fire basket to use. Oh, and also very important to mention: two lounge chairs give you the best way to relax totally. Then I want to end with the most important part: the lovely host Marion. Marion did some amazing thing, making a whole ecological and sustainable place to live. Marion is a really warm and fun person. I'm really glad we met her, she is truly someone you admire and she knows to touch you. Besides that, she is a really really great cook!!! We eat fantastic vegetarian meals! We really had a great time....hope to go back one day... ps; we went in Sept and didn't see any insects at all. ps2; did we mentioned she was building a real pizza oven?

Thank you, Marion! The yurt is such a wonderful place!!! So relaxed, so beautiful, everything is made with such great care for detail! We would have loved to stay for much longer if not forever ;)... Thank you for everything... And the dinner you cooked for us was perfect..

Liebe Marion, Rene und ich hatte so eine gute Zeit! Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in der Jurte; ein ganz besonderer Ort und tolle Erfahrung. Ein guter Ort, um sich wohl, kommen Sie, wenn nötig. Auch große Umgebung !! Wir liebten die Spaziergänge durch die Berge, die Aussicht supperb. Avo ist ein verry nice Dorf. Da wir unser Auto hatten, waren die possibillities groß. Wir liebten Piodao und waren erstaunt, bij dem Wasserfall bei Fraga da Pena. Going to Coimbra und den Besuch der alten Universität und der botanische Garten war eine schöne Chance Landschaft. Jedes Mal, wenn wir in die Jurte zurück, es fühlte sich großartig. Weil es in den Bergen und zwischen den Bäumen, privaten und ruhigen ist, ist es ein schöner Ort zu sein. Essen im Freien jeden Tag und enyoing die Küche außen durch den Kräutergarten umgeben. Welches Ich wünsche, ich könnte jeden Tag zu Hause zu tun. Unter kalten Duschen war ein bisschen schwierig für mich am Anfang, aber ich habe mich daran gewöhnt und fühlte sich wirklich danach aufgefrischt. Es ist eine gute Sache, wenn Sie planen, eine warme Watter-System zu arrangieren sind. Die Jurte war größer als ich erwartet hatte und wir dachten, es war eine tolle Atmosphäre. Schöne Heizung (die wir nicht brauchen), und schön, in einem runden Raum. Jetzt werden wir alle unsere Erinnerungen enyoing und Fotografien. Danke schon mal so viel für Ihre Freundlichkeit, Ihre Gastfreundschaft und Tipps. Grüße und Umarmungen Tamara und Rene.

Não tem a chance de dormir em uma tenda como um conquistador mongol, use um composto estilo cowboy a par e ter um chuveiro openair todos os dias! Fantástico volta para a experiência natureza! E Marion é uma linda e interessante host, para compartilhar algum tempo com. Carro é uma obrigação e se yor têm sangue doce algum tipo de repelente de insetos seria bem-vinda ... no final você estiver no meio do campo!

Marion gave us a lovely welcome at the yurt and kindly let us, our 2 dogs and our baby stay there. Immediately around the yurt is rural, with hills, views and trees. I particularly enjoyed sitting on the sun lounger (in the shade, it's hot in August!) and breastfeeding. The local village (Avo) is attractive with a fun, lively river beach and there is a quieter one nearby at Agroal. The whole area is attractive for driving and not far to sites like Piodao, the Serra da Estrela and Coimbra. It is a great place to have a relaxing, kick back stay enjoying the outdoor kitchen and the compost toilet. Thanks Marion, we would happily stay again.

O lugar perfeito para relaxar longe da cidade e perto de algumas aldeias particularmente carismáticas no centro de Portugal. Recomendo a todos que gostem de silêncio, ceu estrelado e experimentar lugares especiais.. Obrigada por tudo Marion!! Voltarei certamente :)

Tivemos 4 dias maravilhosos neste lugar especial, vivendo em uma tenda. Marion é um anfitrião maravilhoso, foi divertido falar com ela, ela também é muito decente. Tivemos a sensação de estar sozinho no meio da bela natureza português. Nós assistimos as estrelas todas as noites e foram levados pelo céu incrível. A cozinha está bem equipada e foi divertido cozinhar fora. Obrigado Marion para este lugar bonito, vocês já construído!

This is a beautiful traditional house with a kind host. lots of character and very spacious. As it is not well heated, it is probably best for summer, spring and early autumn.

Een prachtige omgeving, gezellig warm huis met een open haard, in het midden van een aantal van de meest afgelegen prachtige Portugese dorpen. Makkelijk, gunstige plek voor een weekend met vrienden en familie.

Casa muito bonita, numa zona muito agradável, onde se podem visitar locais muito bonitos e comer muito bem. A receptividade da pessoa que entrega a chave é muito boa. No entanto, no inverno, mesmo com os aquecedores a funcionar, não aconselho de todo está casa, pois é muito fria.

Gostámos muito da nossa estadia na Casa da montanha. Casa muito acolhedora com uma vista linda para a serra. É bastante sossegada para quem quer relaxar longe da confusão e com conforto. Recomendamos!
