We are a Maltese family, and visited Portugal by chance back in 2018 when we attended friends' wedding in Central Portugal. During that time we had the chance to tour many areas of Portugal, and we were immediately struck by the simplicity of life, good food, great wines and the great outdoors. In the successive years we visited many times, and we agreed that we decided to purchase property in, what for us is the most beautiful part of the country. Although for the time being we are not living on the property, we would love to share our home with those that are lucky enough to stay in it, simply because it is our little bit of paradise.

In this beautiful area there are a lot of things to do like walking, running and swimming and cycling (MTB). We also love the small villages in the neigbourhood like, Piódão, Coja, Góis, Arganil and Tabua with stunning views, good restaurants, lovely river beaches and so on. A little bit further away, there are magnificent cities like Coimbra, Viseu and Guarda. There are a lot of things to do, view our own website for more info and pictures.
