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

Family-friendly Cottage With Pool In Stunning Location

‘Cantinho do Outeiro’ self catering accommodation is located in the beautiful and unspoilt village of ‘Outeiro’, in the heart of Sicó region - Central Portugal. With two bedrooms and a capacity of four people ‘O Cantinho do Outeiro’ offers unmatched comfort, privacy and tranquillity! Inserted in a rustic farm, our accommodation offers large parking space, beautiful gardens and a swimming pool full of character! Further amenities include: BBQ, fully equipped kitchen, cable TV, free Wi-Fi internet and air conditioning. With a good selection of restaurants in the area, and several shops close-by. We also offer useful touristic information about the region & suggestions for activities.

Please note: the pool is not immediately next to the house. It is located within the property, but about 50 meters away, in a very private and quiet location with panoramic views. The pool is private and for the exclusive use of guests; in no time it will be shared with other people. Occasionally, you might see our maintenance team, but the cleanings usually happen in the morning before 10am. The pool is not heated! Due to its more secluded location, children should always use the pool under the supervision of an adult. Our swimming pool may not be ideal for people with disabilities. Any additional questions, do not hesitate to contact.

The house and the pool area are part of a small farm (+/- 3500m2), which is owned by my parents. They live on the property in a separate house. Both houses are very private and have their exclusive space around; both have separate driveways as well. Only the access way to the pool area might be considered a 'shared space', since it is simultaneously access to my parents' garage, with very little movement. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

For more information you can see the comments of previous clients, and check what they say about us and our property. Thank you.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. A TV comes with cable channels and a DVD player, and guests can stay connected with free WiFi. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bidets. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fireplace.

November stay

Great property in a very scenic area. We climbed in nearby Redinha and walked through the surrounding villages. The local supermarket was very friendly and well stocked and we recommend the local Brasserie/takeaway in Santa Guardia. We were warm during cold nights with the heating system and a blanket and had sunny clear weather during our stay. Eurico was very helpful and we knew we could reach out to him at any time if we needed assistance with anything. Great place to stay!

Lovely property in a quiet location

We stayed here for 9 nights in August, the location is a quiet sleepy village. The property is in excellent condition, with all the amenities we needed - linen, towels and some essential food items. Eurico respects the privacy of his guests, but is easy to contact if you have any questions. The pool is a very short walk from the house (approx 50 metres). It’s a beautiful private spot with fantastic views over the countryside - we found this a perfect place for the family to relax. If you’re looking for somewhere to escape and recharge in a homely setting, it meets all the criteria. Thank you so much Eurico, we hope to return next year!

Everything about this place is professional, as is Eurico. It's easy to get the basics right such as cleanliness, furniture, amount of cutlery etc, but it's the little things which make the difference. Having local information available is great, but it has to be up to date and isn't just a drawer full of brochures from 2014 or earlier, ( in 2018). Eurico provides a folder with local attractions and journey times and there is even a preprogrammed Sat Nav available. . The pool is small, but it is big enough to cool off in and to lazily swim about in. It's in a private location with great views. We really enjoyed our time at Cantinho do Outeiro and would recommend it. There are also some nice walks around the area including the windmills. Well done Eurico.

Perfect

It's difficult to find fault with either the accommodation or the host of this charming bungalow on the crest of a hill in rural Portugal. However, you won't believe this is a real review unless I do, so in December and January, when the nights dropped below zero but the house was snug and warm, there was a fair amount of condensation in the bathroom and kitchen, but that's nothing to the positives. The bungalow itself is part of a larger quinta where the owner's parents live, but it has its own gates and driveway and our privacy was respected. The house is a single story modern build, licenced as a holiday let, with a large lounge/diner, two bedrooms, a kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen is fully equipped with stove, dishwasher, washing machine, coffee machine and everything else you would want if you're not going to try any of the delicious restaurants in the area (and if you're not, why are you in Portugal?). The bathroom has a sink, shower, loo and bidet. The main room has cable TV and a hifi. The lounge has a couch, chairs, dining table and (as we were there midwinter) a very efficient pellet stove. But it's all the little extras that make you feel welcome. Ourico supplies various folders with things to do, places to see and eat and market days in the various towns. He even supplies a Tomtom with the places pre-registered in it. There's wifi, a series of DVDs and books in English and Portuguese and even some games. His English is perfect and he's keen to help further if there's anything else you need. The village is small and quiet. There are no local cafe or shops, so you will need a car (though if you're up for it, there's a fantastic restaurant, cafe adeil luis in vale florido a two mile walk away) As we were there over Christmas and New Year we even got a mini Christmas tree on the table and some Christmas goodies. Not the place for night clubbers, but I can't recommend this charming village treat for those that want to immerse themselves in Portuguese countryside.

Absolute Empfehlung für den Urlaub in Portugal

Unser Urlaub hier war wirklich perfekt. Die Anfahrt war durch eine exakte Wegbeschreibung und zusätzlicher GPS-Daten sehr leicht. Da wir sehr spät kamen, hatte der Vermieter bereits Kleinigkeiten für den nächsten Morgen eingekauft. Alles war sehr sauber und gepflegt und alles Nötige vorhanden - genügend Handtücher, Waschmittel, Kaffee.. Während unseres zweiwöchigen Aufenthaltes wurde der Pool mehrfach gereinigt und wir bekamen Bettwäsche und Handtücher zum Wechseln. Die Kommunikation und jeder persönliche Kontakt mit dem Vermieter war sehr freundlich und problemlos und unsere Privatsphäre auf dem Grundstück wurde jederzeit gewahrt. Wir werden sicher noch einmal wiederkommen.

Tolle Unterkunft auch für Familien

Wir haben drei wunderschöne Wochen in den Ferien hier verbracht. Das Haus hat wirklich alles, was man im Alltäglichen so brazcht, vom Bügeleisen über Nähutensilien bis hin zum Verbandskasten. Die Vermieter sind sehr zurückhaltend, aber ständig umsorgend, um sicherzustellen, dass es einem an nichts mangelt. Alles in allem kann bemängele ich persönlich einzig die harten Matratzen, die aber leider in Portugal so üblich sind. Hier wurden noch Topper auf die Matratzen gelegt, um sie etwas weicher zu machen. Wir waren begeistert und können dieses schöne Ferienhaus wärmstens empfehlen.

Our Portuguese Home away from Home

We stayed for a week and we only can recommend this house. It is run by the family and you really understand that the owner Eurico takes care about his well maintained property and his guests. He welcomed us with a long and detailed list of „What to Do, where to go, where to eat, where to shop“. There was something for everyone. Certainly more than what you can manage to do in a week. The pool is absolutely private, located in a nice garden. The house has everything you need and if anything is missing Eurico will help! We enjoyed the stay and would certainly come back!

Cabe também referir a simpatia com que fomos recebidas pelo Pai do Sr. Eurico que é uma simpatia e que logo tratou de garantir que nos sentíssemos em casa.
