Location and surroundings of object

The Quinta do Retiro Farmhouse Complex is in a small, enclosed valley. The valley has a terraced landscape and covers around 9 hectares. The grounds are 350 metres above sea level. The complex is just outside the village of Covas in the Beira Litoral region. The area is known as Middle Portugal. This typical Portuguese farmhouse complex was restored in 2008. It was converted into a small holiday complex with four holiday homes. There is an ecological swimming pool in the middle of the estate. The pool is for shared use. It is filled with water from the farmhouse's own source. The pool is within walking distance of the holiday homes. The water is crystal clear due to natural filtration methods using stones, plants and small fish. The swimming pool is surrounded by a sun terrace. There is a play area with sand-pit, swing, slide and trampoline. The grounds have fruit trees, olive groves and grapevines. A small river with rockeries and miniature waterfalls flows through the grounds. This undiscovered region has a charming, rugged, hilly landscape. It is a paradise for walkers and lovers of natural beauty. The Serra da Estrela Mountain Range and National Park is around 30 minutes away by car. There are many picturesque villages in the area. These include Linhares and the slate village of Piodao. Typical Portuguese markets such as Tabua are 10 km away and Arganil is 20 km. Visits to the student city of Coimbra or Mira on the Atlantic coast, around 95 km away, are highly recommended.

A small holiday park with a swimming pool. The park is in a beautiful green valley.

The cottage is lovely, but I expected a bit more in terms of amenities, While the essentials were there, a few extra touches would have made our stay even better, The area is peaceful, though, which we appreciated

I had a great time in this vacation home. It was clean and well-maintained, and the shared pool was a nice addition. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, so we saved money on meals. I would definitely recommend it for couples or small families.
