Stone cottage on the edge of quiet village, Arganil 7km

The ancient university city of Coimbra is 45kms from here.
Approx. 60 kms away is the Serra de Estrela is the highest mountain in Portugal with spectacular views and ski slopes in the winter.

For those of you who have stayed at Casa de Xisto and those who are thinking of staying there I would like to let you know that after the terrible fires in our area the house remains undamaged! The land below the garden was burnt down to the bottom of the valley but there are already seeds growing through the ashes and we are beginning our replanting project with fruit trees, vines and olives. Please do not give up on the house as more than ever we need people to come and visit the area and bring with them some trade to the area. The calendar has been blocked untill the beginning of December but for anyone interested in staying there please get in touch.
