Quinta dos Sete Pocos - Click on photo for more photographs from Quinta dos Sete Pocos.
Very cosy and beautifully decorated country cottage, sympathetically restored. SE facing in a tranquil setting on the owners' 5ha quinta.
The cottage has a double bedroom/sitting room, a fully equipped kitchen (gas cooker, woodburning stove, fridge-freezer, washing machine), a bathroom with bath & shower (water is heated from woodburning boiler) and a seperate WC. Sunny breakfast room. The owners, Badal & Devamani, used to live in the cottage until recently when they moved into a converted stable block about 100m away, and the cottage retains a charming 'homely' feel with bookshelves, lots of pictures (many reflecting the owners' love of india), pretty wallhangings, etc. All bedlinen and towels are included. Guests may choose to clean the cottage themselves, or a cleaner can be arranged for 4.50 euros per hour.
There is a large terrace with dining table - fantastic view over the Serra da Estrela during the day, and clear skies, perfect for stargazing at night. The cottage has a private fenced garden with small duck pond. Garage and ample parking space. The cottage has mains and solar electricity and water from one of the quinta's seven wells (sete pocos).
Guests are welcome to use the owners' large irrigation tank/swimming pool, fed with pure natural well water. Guests may also use the shared tv room with satellite channels.
Devamani is a Reiki Master and healing sessions are available to guests for an extra charge. Home-made produce is also available for sale. English, German, French and Portuguese are spoken. The owners have two large but friendly dogs, a duck and two donkeys.
Pets are welcome, and there is a dog kennel in the garden. However, no cats please, due to owner's allergy. Also, please no smoking in the house.
Camping: A place for your tent, plus a gas cooker (two flames), fridge, own toilet and shower (cold) and a small & basic shelter in case of rain.
Surrounded by countryside, the quinta is ideal for a retreat, a tranquil holiday in nature, and as a base for exploring this beautiful and varied area of Portugal. The village of Seixo da Beira is about 3km and has small shops and bars and a pharmacy. The larger towns of Oliveria do Hospital (bus station), Seia and Nelas (train station) are all about 15km and have a wide range of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, bars, etc. There is plenty to do in the area, walking, horse-riding, skiing, cycling, sightseeing, etc.
