Tranquil stone cottage by lovely lake.

Tranquil cottage by lovely Castelo do Bode lake, that offers you the best of Portuguese countryside combined with lakeside living.
Ideal for walkers, cyclists, water sport lovers or simply for those who want to get away. The house is 300m from Castelo do Bode, one of Portugal's biggest lakes, and is ideal for families, couples or groups of friends.
The house is self-contained with a garden and patio where you can sit, eat, drink or simply enjoy the views.
(Alojamento Local 1945)


Swimming: Castelo do Bode (castle of the billy goat) lake is 300m away. The water is refreshingly cool in the summer and it is wonderful to swim in.
There are plenty of fluvial beaches to choose from and there is a map in the house. They are all very close.
Fishing is also possible and there are boat hire facilities in Ferreira do Zêzêre, approximately 20 min by car.

Cycling: The Ribatejo countryside is unexplored and there are plenty of tracks you can follow. There are two bicycles in the garage that are freely available for guests' use. It's an ideal way of exploring the countryside. And if you get lost don¡t worry all roads lead to a café.

Sightseeing: Tomar, the historical town of the Order of the Templars is a short drive away. The Convent of Christ on the hilltop is a must. The Sanctuary of Fátima, holy place of pilgrimage is around 30km away. Castelo de Almoural, set on a tiny island of the Tagus was built as a fortress in 1171. Lovely spot for a picnic.
Torres Novas has many fine churches within its castle walls.
There are many small villages around the lake that are worth visiting such as Dornes, a UNESCO protected village and Constância, right on the banks of the River Tagus.

Lovely, quiet location in a rustic cottage. Great for families. Bathing in the lake was wonderful in the heat. Those who didn’t want to bathe could sit in the shade of the surrounding trees.

This home was so full of charm and comfort. Every nook and cranny was beautiful. The surrounding area was stunning and we did not want for anything. The hosts thought of every detail needed. Extremely clean. Also the hosts were extremely communicative and kind.

Serene setting in beautiful Portuguese countryside

Spent a lovely week in this beautiful rental. While it is not next to the lake, it is a short walk down the hill. Visited Tomar and its wonderful historic sites, an easy drive. Relaxing in the garden was a great way to recharge.

Ideales Landhaus

Das Haus entspricht voll und ganz der Beschreibung. Alles ist in gutem Zustand, funktioniert und ist sauber. Die Lage ist wunderschön und sehr ruhig. Viele hilfreiche Tipps des Vermieters in der Beschreibung. Dona Olinda hat uns begrüsst und alles gezeigt. Die Umgebung ist schön, es gibt viel Interessantes zu sehen. Tomar ist eine ganz nette kleine Stadt zum Bummeln, alle Einkäufe lassen sich dort erledigen. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt und können das Haus nur empfehlen! Einzig die Liegestühle für draussen könnten etwas bequemer sein, sie sind für ältere Menschen zu niedrig.

A perfect getaway

After doing an extensive amount of research for my first trip to Portugal, I felt extremely lucky to have happened upon this wonderful home. The house was everything I had hoped for and more. The location is just remote enough to have privacy and serenity, but perfect to jump on the highway in any direction and explore. If you are so inclined, as I was, there are also plenty of areas to traverse on foot. There is a binder provided that contains all types of information on the area including walking trails, which is a gold mine. The hosts were able to give me some personalized ideas as well. The house is lovely, well equipped and comfortable. The private garden and patio to relax or entertain in is so special. This will definitely be my first choice to stay when I return. Thank you so much for your hospitality. I highly recommend this rental.

Stil,stiller,stilst

Het was even zoeken maar met behulp van de foto' s hebben we het huis gevonden. Het weer liet het niet toe om veel buiten te zitten, maar vanuit de eetkamer hadden we een mooi uitzicht over het dal tot aan het meer. De omgeving was ruiger dan verwacht. Het dorp Serra is een centrale plek voor de omgeving met cafe en mini mercado. We hebben het naar onze zin gehad.

Leuk huisje, prima plek maar niet schoon

Leuk huisje, goede locatie maar de hygiëne kan veel beter. Het huis was niet schoon, geen vuilniszak in de afvalemmer, vuilniszakken waren ook niet aanwezig. De bestek la in de keuken was ronduit vies. Fornuis was niet schoon en veel keukenspullen waren plakkerig. Jammer want het was een geschikt huis voor meerdere personen.

Spring Bliss

This is a magical rural location. Glorious sunsets, bees buzzing in fragrant jasmine, wisteria, & climbing roses. A light breeze carried other pastoral sounds: sheep bleating, a rooster's crow, the quacking of ducks or geese passing overhead. Casa de Pedra is well-appointed for a peaceful get-away. Full kitchen, a lovely dining room, charming dining patio, welcoming living room, restful bedrooms, and a much appreciated, eco-friendly washer and dryer. Every window frames a beautiful view. We heartily recommend this home, in every season!

Beautiful old house with modern improvements. A delightful stay.

We loved the house. Beautiful old stone work. So sturdy it even withstood the hurricane. It was pleasant to sit on the patio and enjoy the sunset. Inside the house has been fully modernized without losing appeal. We had no problems and enjoyed our visit at the end of the road.
