Casinha Revira Volta, part of the Quinta Revira Volta complex, is located in the rural countryside, in a small little village called Nesperal. It is the perfect location for guests who are looking for a place to unwind and relax in a authentic and peacefull getaway, surrounded by rolling hills and luscious green forrests teeming with wildlife. When guests are done relaxing, and feel energetic, they can indulge themselves with activities as hiking, biking, horseback riding, paddleboarding, canoeing, or just exploring the beautifull countryside of Centre Portugal. There are many places worth visiting. To name a few; Tomar, with the Templars Castle, nice shops, restaurants and bars. Coimbra, with the oldest University in Europe, beautifull old city, shops, malls, and a variety of restaurants Nazaré, with the most impressive waves and wakeboard competitions. Figueiró dos Vinhos, with the beautifull river excellent for kayaking, and much more We offer our guests a variety of luxurious amenities, such as a salt water swimming pool, a private sundeck, a studio space where you can work with e.g. paint and/or clay and explore your creative side (electric turntable available) a yoga-shala, or work in the vegetable garden where we grow our own food. The Quinta is situated in the almost exact Centre of Portugal. The distance between Nesperal and Porto, or Nesperal and Lisbon is the same ( 1,5 hour drive) so both airports are accessible and very easy to reach. Because of the strategic location it's also a great spot from where guests can start exploring the region and it's many iconic sights, either closer to the Quinta (Trizio, Dornes, Fragas de São Simão) or somewhat further away ( Braga, Viseu, Figueira da Foz ) The owners are friendly, relaxed and attentive, always making sure that guests are happy. The Quinta and the Casinha can provide guests with a truly unique and unforgettable experience that is sure to stay in their memories for a long time.

We look forward to introducing you to the rich and facinating Portugese culture and countrylife. There is plenty to do and experience here, and if you are not so much in to experiencing and doing, there is room, space and surrounding to exhale, slow down, recharge, contemplate, or just be you. All at your own pace. Marilyn is an experienced Cook, who would be more than happy to teach you some recipes and tips and tricks. Serge can give you advice in where and how to go to your place of interest. He is also a musician and a big lover and connaisseur of Jazz music, and he plays the saxophone. Once or twice a week we organise a table d’hôte, for which you can sign up if you feel like it. As of autumn 2023 it will also be possible to host a retraite, and to rent the big Quinta, which will have room for 20 people. It will include a large livingroom and kitchen, 7 bathrooms and 7 bedrooms. We have a hall and a creative space in which events can take place. Yoga, mediation, wedding, music workshop etc, are a few exempels of what is possible. If interested, you can send us a message and we will give you up to date information about prices and availability. We are still very busy finishing the renovation of the big Quinta and the surrounding area, but all the facilities are accesible.

We live in the countryside, amidst forrests, rivers, lakes, beautifull little villages, super friendly people and a lovely tasty gastronomie that you can enjoy for relatively small prices. The many forest inhabitants such as deer, otters, wild boar, squirrels, fox, badgers and Iberian lynxen make it worthwhile to get up early and try to spot them. Day-trips direction Porto, Lisbon, Braga, Viseu, Guimarães etc are all very do-able. Het up Early, take a two hour drive, and you arrivé at your destination. Closer to the Quinta there is a huge 80 km long reservoir-lake, where you can rent jetskiet, canoes and wakeboards. We have a canoe ( 4pax) paddle boards, mountainbikes and two electrical bikes available for our guests. There are also many hiking trails in the immediate area and beyond, and it takes a 1,5 hour drive to the beach for a dip in the ocean, which is absolutely doable.(e.g. Figueira da Foz, Nazaré, São Martinho do Porto, Vieiria de Leiria) And if you really do not feel like doing anything, just stay home, enjoy the sundeck, sit or lay under the umbrella, sip some juice or wine, grab a bite or petisco, take a dip in the pool, read a book, just close your eyes, empty your head and relax. After all, you are on vacation ;-)
