In the beautiful countryside of Beira Alta, nestled between two rivers; the Mondego and the Alva. In the background lies the Serra da Estrela, a magnificent unspoilt mountain range (20 mins by car) where one can ski in the winter.

The quinta is only 4km from Oliveira do Hospital, a small country town, where you will find all necessary facilities, such as banks, shops, restaurants, an internet cafe, etc. The rooms, 3 doubles and 1 single, are located in the old buildings, constructed out of huge granite stones, typical of the area. Up on the hill are two cabanas (cabins) for the purists, one has a double bedroom and one has a twin bedroom.
