The house is a beautiful classic house with wooden floors, filled with animal hides on the walls and floors, animal horns and heads on the walls, swards, arrows and statues - nice if you like those things, a bit worrying with little children, we were constantly afraid our baby girl will break something, or have some ancient weapon fall on her head. The rooms, the shared living room, shower and kitchen are on the top floor, and Nanu the owner lives on the bottom floor. Nanu is always, always there to solve problems, and make sure all his rules about opening and closing windows and nets at specific times of the day are followed, he will even enter your sleeping child's room when you are in the bathroom to turn off the light, if he thinks it should be off - "My house, my rules" as he often says. The toilet does not flush very well, but it's not a big deal, there is a large canister next to it that can be filled with water to flush manually.

We stayed at Liz's beautiful casa for one month and would have stayed longer if we could. It was just perfect with every detail thought out. We loved siting outside mornings and evenings enjoying the garden and views. We cooked delicious meals in the well-equipped kitchen. The beds were comfortable and the house was spacious-- everything needed is there and the location is great for day trips to towns all around central Portugal. Would love to return someday!

Wonderful place!!!! Beautiful, fully equipped and quiet, so nice that we decide to cancel one of our day trips just to enjoy the whole day at the house!!! Thanks for the opportunity!!

Amazing house and great location! We stayed at Liz's house for 4 weeks and it was amazing. The house and village are even better than on photos. The house has everything you need for comfortable staying. Dornes is very calm and beautiful village, close to Tomar and not far from Lisbon and Porto. Liz and Frans are very friendly and helpful, thank you very much! We hope come again one day.

Dornes is a magical place, hidden in a place full of charm and tranquility. And the House of Lis is beautiful: spacious, comfortable, cared for lovingly and with a garden that makes you think of Rivendale ... Dawn in the mist of the river and see the sunset in front of the fireplace has been the best of our trip, Which we will always remember as an experience full of peace and beauty. Many thanks to Liz and Frans for their attentions and for their kindness. My family and I have had a very special Christmas thanks to you and we promise to return to meet Dornes in spring / summer.

The host canceled this reservation 27 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Beautiful place, great location. Small village, surrounded by mountains and by a river in a valley. The house is comfortable with everything you need. We stayed the last 4 days of the 2014 ( 2 couples and 4 children's ) . Is a perfect place to stay with a friends and to relax. The house is not so warm upstairs than downstairs, but in alternative we have a fireplace ( upstairs ), which works perfect. From the village we have a lot of different walking treks, we have the river to swim ( in the summer ). Anyway, just to say we had a great stay in this house. So, thank you Elizabeth for all your kindness. Rui

Fantastic place! Beautiful, quiet, and all the facilities you need. Hope to visit again some day

Dear Liz and Frans! We really enjoyed our stay in your beautiful house!! The house is very well equiped and comfortable. The furniture and all the things there show a very good taste!! Your beautiful garden is really special! An extraordinary highlight for the kids was the possibility to rent a bananaboat and waterskiing! We were two families with four kids - and there was a lot of space there! My daughter told me she felt like in a fairytale! Thanks!

House was Lovely, such a nice setting even in January. Ligea and her family were very helpful throughout. Thank you very much.

Very nice little house with garden. Good location in the wine fields. Relaxed!

Ligea is a wonderful person who makes you feel welcome from her first smile when you meet. She checked if we need anything and that we understand the remoteness even before confirming the reservation. She also provided more than enough support for us to enjoy the house and the area. The place is exactly as described - near a village, next to a quiet vineyard, with no one in sight. It has enough space for a family of 4-5 (two bedrooms) or two couples to live in disconnection from the busyness of today's world for a week. A car is essential as the nearest store is one km away and it is not possible to access it by public transport. There are plenty of spots to swim and plenty of sun on the terrace to relax. Overall, it's an authentic Portuguese house that has all modern amenities, save for the pestering of an Internet connection. As Ligea says, plan to visit only if that's what you're looking for.

Casa bastante acolhedora situada numa região espectacular! Só temos a agradecer à Ligea por toda a hospitalidade e sugestões sempre acertadas. Iremos com certeza usufruir desse espaço mais vezes. Cumprimentos.

Casa limpa e bem localizada, rodeada de vinhas e um laranjal, num local muito calmo, perfeito para relaxar e recarregar baterias. Fica a 10 minutos de Dornes e de Ferreira do Zezere. A Ligea foi muito simpática e mostrou-se sempre disponível para nos dar indicações. A estadia foi óptima, mais uma vez obrigado!

Quinta muito acolhedora é excelente para férias em família. A habitação com muito boas condições e os anfitriões foram uma simpatia.

Óptimo! A repetir!

Sonia is really welcoming and nice. She gave us lot of advices about the area,things to do and documents. I recommend any people to book the house. It's perfect to spend your holiday with a few friends!The house is confortable and the swimming pool so amazing. Thank you very much for everything...

Great to meet you Sonia (and Christina) Look forward to staying longer next time. Richard

It was a great experience in this property, the house is beautiful the house is beautiful and the location is very nice and relaxing. It is a beautiful area to visit, with its towns, rivers and especially the friendliness of the people. Sonia was a fantastic, very friendly and available host. The house is perfect for family and friends, it was spotless. Thank you very much Sonia and family for your kindness.

Nous avons été accueillis par Sonia et son amie qui parle français. De ce fait, le contact a été simple tout au long du séjour. Sonia et son mari sont très souriants et au petit soin. Le ménage était impeccable et la maison conforme au descriptif. Nous avons passé 15 jours formidables à trois couples et 3 enfants. Une très belle suite parentale. Tout le nécessaire chambre salle de bain et cuisine y est. La wifi fonctionne très bien. La piscine est bien entretenue. Les commerces du centre ville sont rapidement accessibles en voitures (5 min). A ne pas manquer le Lago Azul à 15 min de la maison ! Lisbonne à 1h30. Nous recommandons vivement!

Uma casa muito gira, excelente para descontrair. Muito obrigado pela simpatia e hospitalidade.

Logement au calme et bien équipé pour famille avec enfants et bébé. Belle piscine, beau jardin avec barbecue... Séjour très agréable. Région magnifique. Accès difficile par chemin de terre.

Superbe et grande maison, très agréable à vivre avec un grand jardin sans vis-à-vis. Les propriétaires sont très gentils. Le village offre tous les services et le supermarché est à 5 minutes. L'accès final à la maison se fait par un bout de chemin de terre assez pentu. Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans cet endroit très calme.

A Casa do Barco foi uma óptima surpresa! Espaçosa, confortável, limpa e inserida numa paisagem fantástica, com uma vista de cortar a respiração! A casa tem praticamente tudo o que é necessário para passar alguns dias de descanso e a simpatia e disponibilidade dos anfitriões são mais um ponto a favor! Experiência a repetir, sem dúvida :)

Tive a sorte de descobrir a Casa do Barco, numa zona fantástica e com uma vista de topo para o Rio Zêzere e envolvência, numa zona tranquila e super relaxante. A casa em si tem todas as condições para usofruto em pleno e os anfitriões têm o cuidado de deixar tudo impecávelmente limpo e pronta a habitar, sem quaisquer preocupações para nós. A dona da casa, Sandra, atenciosa e prestável, desde antes da chegada e sempre disponível, mas deixando-nos à vontade. Sentimo-nos em casa. Foi uma estadia perfeita, com recomendações dos anfitriões acerca do que ver na zona, uma das mais bonitas de Portugal. Ainda acerca da Casa do Barco, local excelente, bem localizado, vista fantástica, quartos óptimos e espaçosos, bem decorados... (já disse que a vista é fantástica?

5 estrelas, pela casa, pela vista e pela disponibilidade dos anfitriões. Vale muito mas muito a pena. Não se vão arrepender de visitar a Casa do Barco.

More than excellent, Mrs. Fernanda is a lovely person who made us feel at home; the hotel is a bit remote, but ideal if you want to rest. The house was immaculate, and evening introduced us to his family and invited us tea and biscuits. The house is very large and has a fairly large car park in the morning showed us his garden and gave us the best oranges I've ever tasted; It has 2 dogs and a cat, but they are not inside the house, they are very tender if you love animals like me, but do not bother you at all if you do not want to play with them. He would repeat it a thousand times.

Maria is a wonderful host and has a fantastic house. She is very helpful and well informed for all of your local needs.

Casa amplia, entorno relajado y silencioso. Ideal para desconectar y pasar unas vacaciones en familia.

Très belle villa, tout était nickel. Casa muita linda, tudo estava bem.
