About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

House with garden and swimming pool at the Serra da Estrela's heart

Right at the heart of Serra da Estrela (the Star Mountain), a little Paradise with garden and swimming pool. Surrounded by beautiful landscape, with wide views towards the mountain and the village of Manteigas. Comfortable, large house located at a calm, isolated spot, yet just 20 minutes by foot to the center of the village. Strategic localization: during winter easy access to the Ski and Snowboard Mountain Park, during summer enables deep contact with Nature in a protected area (river Zêzere and glacier valley).
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bidets. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fireplace. Housekeeping is available on request.

Un lugar maravilloso para pasar en familia

Estuvimos un mes entero y la experiencia fue maravillosa. Una casita preciosa, un paisaje bellísimo, todo cuidado hasta el mínimo detalle… pero sin lugar a duda, lo mejor de todo fue la calidez y amabilidad de los dueños. Repetiremos ;)

Anfitriões 5*

A casa e a propriedade são excelentes e prometiam umas férias fantásticas. Só interrompidas pelos incêndios. Os anfitriões foram óptimos e flexíveis a permitir a resolução do aluguer devido ao incêndio que afetava no momento esta zona. Esperamos voltar noutra altura.

final ano em manteigas

apesar de a neve não ter aparecido (para grande pena dos miúdos) fizemos umas caminhadas ótimas, da qual destaco a do Bosque das Faias (lindo). na vila, o restaurante Sta Luzia, para além do serviço no local, fornece comida para take away a preços e qualidade muito bons. a casa continua com boas condições para alojar crianças. deixo apenas um pequeno apontamento acerca dos pratos para refeições que acusam algum desgaste. de resto, passamos uns dias bem simpáticos.

Um Fim de Semana de Outono na Serra

Fomos um grupo de 7 amigos que esteve este ultimo fim de semana nesta casa. Gostámos imenso da localização- Está inserida no meio da serra com uma vista fantástica para Manteigas. Os espaços exteriores são muito bons, e muito agradáveis para numa outra altura e com mais tempo, se aproveitar um bom descanso ao ar livre e tirar o maior partido da piscina. O interior da casa é fabuloso. Muito confortável, amplo, bem decorado e com uma excelente limpeza. Existe uma lareira e aquecimento central que tornam o ambiente muito acolhedor. Os quartos são muito bons. E a casa tem tudo, livros, jogos e até um teclado de música. A cozinha está completamente apetrechada. Os proprietários são muito corretos. Foi-nos dado todo o apoio logo após a marcação e durante a nossa estadia. Muito bom mesmo ! Esperamos voltar.

Séjour très agréable

Un bien agréable séjour ! Une belle maison de caractère bien au calme dans la montagne, et proche de la ville quand même. Un très beau paysage, de belles randonnées, et du calme... idéale pour se reposer en profitant de la piscine et de la vue. La maison est très spacieuse, nous étions 8 et avions bien assez de place. Pour finir, une très bonne communication avec Joana, très sympathique et disponible. Merci beaucoup à Joana, ainsi que o senhor Tomé pour un super accueil.

Good Experience

We stayed for one week in Monteigas. The home is located down a long and narrow drive that is not easily accessible. The home is large and was more than sufficient for the eight in our group. The home has a great fireplace and the heating system quickly warmed up the house that was quite cold upon arrival. Plenty of firewood was provided so we burned the fire during the whole day. The worst thing about the home is the kitchen. It is very small and the design of it is crazy. We couldn't open the oven without unplugging the microwave and only one person can be in the kitchen at a time. They have a pool but as we were there for the Christmas season we never used it. I think a home in the mountains would do better with a hot tub. The only other drawback I see is at the home does not offer Internet or television. Other than that the owners and caretaker of the home were spectacular.

A casa é muito acolhedora, ideal para familiares/amigos. Fica situada num sitio bonito e calmo. Na vila não falta nada, há restaurantes, cafés, supermercados, farmácia, etc... Para quem gosta de praticar caminhadas e BTT o local é óptimo. Em relação aos proprietários fomos muito bem recebidos.

MARAVILLOSO

Una casa súper cómoda, bien preparada, limpia y acogedora en un lugar maravilloso, en el medio de la sierra, y con la comodidad de tener un pueblo cerca muy bonito, Manteigas, donde hacer las compras, comer fuera y pasear. La casa tiene jardin y piscina, ideal para descansar en família durante el verano, tomar desayunos en la galeria exterior y disfrutar del paisaje.

Amazing place!

Amazing place! This is just perfect! If you are looking for a place to relax this is it! The house is lovely: there is a fantastic fireplace for those cold days and a swimming pool if you choose to go in the summer. If you don’t want to drive much the village has everything you need; restaurants, supermarket, small shops, cafes… but you can easily do several day journeys around Manteigas and explore the area. A place not to be missed! We were sooooooooo happy in this house! Thank you!

Fim ano com amigos

A casa é perfeita para o convívio entre amigos/família e adequada para os filhotes ( 9 anos). Acolhimento e simpatia fantásticos. O envolvente, principalmente a torre, foi um sucesso para os miúdos e graúdos. A melhorar apenas o chuveiro do WC superior e o fogão. Apreciação geral do grupo:Muito Bom.

Great place for a vacation

Beautiful place for relaxing holidays, in contact with nature. The proximity with both the mountains and the village of Manteigas is perfect. You can go walk, visit whatever you want, knowing that at the end of the day you will have a swimming pool waiting for you. Also inside the house you have plenty of room to use, perfect if you have children or pets. Will definitely come back for more. Local fantástico para umas férias para relaxar, em contacto com a natureza. A próximidade da vila e da Serra permite passeios para qualquer lado, tendo no final do dia uma piscina à espera. Aconselhado vivamente

Estadia uma semana Agosto

"We went to Manteigas for one week at the end of August - 8 adults and 3 children. It was amazing! The house is fabulous, spacious and extremely well equipped, including grill. It is even better than it looks in the photographs. We were able to have our lunches and dinners outside, in a kind of porch with the amazing landscape in front of us! The owners were very nice and provided us information for several attractions nearby. Manteigas is a very beautiful small town, with friendly people. It had everything we needed for these holidays. We are sure that we will come back! It is a truly pleasant experience! Estivemos nesta casa 8 adultos e 3 crianças durante uma semana,no final de agosto. Foi simplesmente incrível! A casa é fabulosa, muito ampla e muito bem equipada, incluindo um grelhador para churrasco. É ainda melhor do que parece nas fotografias! Durante esta semana foi possível almoçar e jantar sempre cá fora, com uma ramada de vinha por cima e a incrível paisagem de manteigas na frente! Os donos foram muito simpáticos e amáveis e deixaram-nos todas as informações para diferentes atividades nas proximidades. Manteigas é uma cidade muito bonita, com pessoas bastante simpáticas. E tinha tudo o que precisámos para as férias. Temos certeza de que vamos voltar! É uma experiência verdadeiramente incrível!"
