Quinta da Bela Vista - Click on photo for more photographs from Quinta da Bela Vista.
The basic, but comfortable room has a double bed, wardrobe, cupboards and shelving, a TV, and a woodburning stove for cosy winter evenings. Double doors lead out onto a private balcony with views to the river and the mountains beyond.
Under the guestroom is a semi-outdoor kitchen with small gas oven/hob, a sink, cupboards and cooking utensils, and a table and chairs. Adjoining is a WC with solar shower.
Just outside the cottage is a lawned area, bordered by flowerbeds, with a barbecue and picnic table and benches.
The owner of the quinta is a keen gardener and organic fruit and vegetables are available from the garden in season. The quinta is a little paradise - there are flowers, fruit trees, vines and climbing plants everywhere, little stone-walled gardens, and a river beach.
It's an ideal retreat for nature-lovers and wildlife includes kingfishers, foxes, badgers and otters, alongside many and varied birds.
The river is perfect for swimming and fishing (fishing equipment is available for guests' use) and, if you are a keen fisherman, the owner is happy to guide you to other great fishing spots in the area.
The nearest village is 3km and has small shops, bars, and a riverside restaurant. Coja, a pretty riverside town with all facilities is 5km.
If you would prefer to camp, and/or would like to come with friends, there is space for tents.
There is also the possiblity of helping out on the quinta in return for a reduced rental rate.
