Simply wonderful. We spent a glorious three days relaxing in the sunshine drinking wine and eating watermelon. Highly recommend this beautiful place for anyone wanting to retreat from the world for a little bit.

If you like a quiet place, this is the one! Beautiful landscape (April/May: no idea how hot and dry it will be during summer...) and a good place for exploring the region. It's a pity that for access to the kitchen you have to go outside (not so handy in case of rain and invades a bit the sense of privacy).

This listing was NOT what we expected.... it was 110% MORE than we could have hoped. The adega was BEAUTIFUL. Pics provided made us think it was a small and rustic cottage when it was actually a large and beautifully renovated space with fabulous finishes and a remarkable view. Our hosts were very very friendly and helpful. All our needs were provided and many more services offered if needed. We made a mistake... should have booked for a longer stay!

Loved this place. Great kitchen, really lovely and charming village location. Proved to be a great home base for exploring Tomar and region (we had a car though). Also they grow some great olive oil on site, picked up a bottle to bring home. Thanks for the great time!

An absolutely gorgeous location and the most friendly and thoughtful hosts. We had a wonderful and relaxing time at Stephanie and Patrick's. They're close at hand for information, but always discreet if you want to be alone. There are private areas to sit in the garden, a spacious indoor/outdoor kitchen, a superb bathroom and a comfortable bed. What more could you need? They've made the garden so beautiful and it's a pleasure to go wandering down the lanes and through the olive groves. Tomar is only a short drive away too. Private parking, wood-stoves for colder days, a welcoming bottle of wine, hammock, loungers, good wifi and fresh oranges and greens from S and P and their lovely neighbours.

First things first, the pictures do not do the listing justice, you really have to see it to believe it. There are fresh fruit, a ridiculously good view and home made olive oil. The hosts were highly communicative and responsive. They fully explained the wood fired stoves and fireplaces inside the listing, which we took advantage of. The listing was extremely clean and comfortable. The hosts informed us we could get fresh rolls delivered every morning which were incredible and delicious. The listing provided an excellent home base to explore to surrounding area. In particular the city of Tomar definitely deserves a visit. The castle of Tomar in particular. And if you visit during a Friday the Tomar city market should not be missed.

Everything was really nice! The kitchen is separted from the rest of the house but it is very big with everything you could need to cook. Thank you Stephanie and Patrick!

Wonderful!

Óptimo! A repetir!

Sítio ideal para uns dias entre amigos, com muita criançada à mistura. Espaços diversificados e amigos das crianças. Num grupo de 15 adultos e 13 crianças, a logistica foi relativamente tranquila, graças às condições que a Quinta oferece!

The house is quite cozy and the view is spectacular! The location is perfect since it is close to town and also to various beaches. We had a great time and I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.

Nous avons passé d'excellentes vacances au calme et en pleine nature. Le cadre de cette petite maison (propre, neuve, fonctionnelle pour un couple) est juste magique. Sérénité assurée pour ceux qui veulent fuir le stress de la ville. Le lac "Lago Azul" à 10 minutes c'est la cerise sur le gâteau et les gens sont tellement agréables. Vera et ses proches sont des gens charmants et serviables. Dure de revenir à la réalité...

Pedro and Bernadette have a fantastic home. The view is amazing, and the amount of natural light and fresh air from windows on both sides makes it wonderful to be there. They have great internet and cable TV, and a fully stocked and large kitchen. The bedrooms are downstairs which makes them cosy and cool, making sleeping pleasurable. The bathroom is clean and the shower is hot and strong. The house combines the charm of old Portugal with the cleanliness of a modern home, with sliding windows and fly-wire screens. There is a large area for dogs to run around and their dog Max is very friendly. The supermarket is 5 minutes away, and the Knights Templar castle in Tomar is only 30 minutes drive away. Pedro and Bernadette are very welcoming.

We absolutely loved our stay at Casa Franco. actually we loved it so much we stayed an extra night! Pedro and Bernadette are super friendly hosts and made us feel at home right away. The surrounding is rural and nice and quiet. The appartement is well equipped and also in the winter very comfortable. Definitely coming back when we are in the neighborhood!

Our hosts Pedro and Bernie were fantastic! Friendly, generous, fun and knowledgeable about the local area (Pedro is Portuguese). Their guest cottage is perfectly appointed and superb value, and was always a pleasure to return to each evening after discovering this intriguing region of Portugal. The location makes an ideal base to explore central Portugal, yet also offers easy and direct access to Lisbon and Porto. Even fabulous deserted beaches, towering sand dunes and pine forests are just an hour drive hour away. Pedro is a great cook and bakes sourdough bread for guests and possibly the best pizza I have ever eaten. Our favorite spot to enjoy breakfast (actually every meal) was under a large shaded tree overlooking Bernie's charming garden, but their are numerous other secluded nooks in the garden with hammocks and bucolic views. We can't recommend Casa Franco highly enough!

We had a lovely, yet short stay with Pedro & Bernadette on our drive from Porto to Lisbon. They gave us the most in depth tour we have ever had, so we felt safely at home almost immediately. There were some small parts of the apartment that we really appreciate, e.g. a child gate on the stairs, and some ground coffee with plunger. Their dogs are extremely friendly!

We loved our first stay at Casa Franco so much that we just had to come back! We love the light and airy upstairs living area with it’s triple aspect views [so many windows!] and with it’s primary vista over an attractive green valley to Alvaiázere Mountain. What has really made an impression on us and made both our stays extra special, is the way that we have been so very cared for and given all the help that we needed. Pedro and Berni’s extensive local knowledge and boundless contacts and connections proved a real boost to helping us out on several occasions. By really going out of their way to do things for us, Pedro and Berni, showed us how they know how to make guests have a super comfortable stay. We can’t recommend the Casa Franco Experience highly enough!

We, a group of three, did stay 4 days at Bernadette's and Pedro's place. Bernadette did welcome us the best way one can imagine and has taken care of us without impairing our privacy. If we needed something, Bernadette and Pedro have always been available and happy to help. The apartment was clean and rustic, enough space for two, ok for three or four people. Only the kitchen equipment is a bit outdated partially but one can still use it. The apartment is vested with very good mosquito prevention. The pool is clean and very nice and a good place to relax! All in all, we've found everything we needed and received value for money. The only thing to be considered is that Bernadette and Pedro have two dogs. Max, a boxer, and Ruby, a smaller one. If you like dogs, have fun! They are cute. If you are frightened, be prepared that they are curious and might not leave you alone. As regards the location, one needs a car to get there (although I think there is a bus stopping near the apartment). But we've chosen Bernadette's and Pedro's apartment BECAUSE it's located very calm. We really enjoyed our stay with Pedro and Bernadette and would recommend to stay with them!

Pedro and Bernadette are some of the nicest, most welcoming people I've ever met. They provide a level of hospitality that approaches professional standards. Their guest apartment is comfortable and cozy, and it has all the things I needed, including a gorgeous view. The only possible drawback I can think of is that the apartment only receives about an hour of direct sunlight in November. But I easily solved that small letdown by going for sunny walks in the beautiful hills and valleys surrounding their house. And by going on fun daytrips to nearby towns with Bernadette and Pedro, who was more than happy to drive. All in all, it was a wonderful experience, and I highly, highly recommend staying here.

Our stay at Casa Franco was the midpoint of a months-long European holiday, so we'd been an the road for weeks and were looking for some serious R&R. I'd been eyeing the listing for about six months before booking and had some pretty high expectations of our stay, but Pedro & Bernadette exceeded them. The apartment is lovely and homey, the property is gorgeous, there's an English pub three doors down with a free library and pool table, and Max & Ruby (dogs) are an adorable double-act. Pedro and Bernadette are always available (without being intrusive) and went out of their way to make us comfortable and welcomed, from the little things like a bowl of freshly picked citrus, to the bigger things, like helping me sort out my lost laptop charger (inexplicably trapped in the postal system - long story) and taking us into Ourém for market day. We had great fun using the wood-fired oven and cooking in the very well-equipped kitchen of the apartment. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

We enjoyed staying in the house and liked it very much. It was very spacious and well equipped. The mattresses were a bit on the hard side. However we found that there were not enough resting chairs and umbrellas at the swimming pool.

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.

Nous avons passé un magnifique séjour, Maria notre hôte était présente un peu surpris mais tout s'est bien passé! très grande maison, très jolie encore plus en vrai avec une très jolie piscine, cadre verdoyant avec arbres. Très confortable pour les grandes familles nous étions 12 et tout à fait à l'aise. Maria est très serviable, parle français (parler doucement!!), donne des conseils précieux. Il y a la ville de Tomar non loin à visiter, tout ce qu'il faut pour faire les courses à proximité. La ville de Fatima à 45 min en voitures . Muito Obrigada Maria !!

Nous avons passé une très bonne semaine dans cette maison familiale. Un peu surpris de voir la propriétaire dormir sur place, mais elle a quitté les lieux dès le lendemain de notre arrivée. Maria est nous accueilli avec gentillesse. La maison est idéale pour une famille. Elle offre une belle terrasse donnant sur la piscine (sécurisée par un enclos). Chaque chambre est équipée de sa propre salle de bain. Les lieux étaient parfaitement propres à notre arrivée.

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

Tutto da 10. Un po difficile da raggiungere.

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!!

Probably one, if not the best, accommodation we have had! For people looking for a calm environment, off the beaten track, in a beautiful, charming, well decorated, super comfortable (with all modern amenities) house, Liz's house is perfect. The village of Dornes is pretty and the view from the house's multiple terrasses is amazing. The lake is beautiful and the water is great to go swimming and kayaking. Wonderful stay. We would most definitely go back. Thank you to Liz, Astrid and Franz for the warm welcome!

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.

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!

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.

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

Fabulous location, house, host, garden just perfect for a short family holiday to get our daughters,to fall in love with Portugal as we have

Walking through the small door, we entered a garden paradise! The pool and shade of the many fruit trees providing welcome relief at the end of a hot day. Cabacos, with its sleepy charm, provided the perfect base to explore central Portugal.

Een geweldige locatie om centraal Portugal te verkennen of gewoon lekker tot rust te komen. Echt alles is aanwezig en je kunt er zeker met zes personen verblijven. De tuin is echt een paradijsje en de basis voorzieningen zoals een bakker zitten vlak bij.

Notre hôte nous a envoyé un message internet pour nous dire que la date de notre séjour arrivait et qu'on était les bien venus. Pendant le voyage, nous avons eu un coup de fil pour nous demander à quelle heure nous arrivions et Manuela nous attendait devant le logement qui se trouvait au milieu du village, en face la place du marché comme c'était décrit dans l'annonce. Le logement était spacieux et le jardin : un paradis.

Belle maison de village refaite avec goût. Le jardin est un havre paix avec oranges et citrons. Village calme idéal pour se reposer mais l'avantage c'est que des endroits comme Fatima ou Bathala ne sont pas loin.. Nous recommandons le restaurant Marques pour le soir

A notre arrivée on a pu constater de la conformité des photos. La maison est très agréable à vivre. Très bien située géographiquement (Lisbonne et Porto à moins de 2 h) et proche de l'autoroute, moins de 5 km. Divers lieux à proximité pour se baigner. Dépaysement total, en immersion complète dans le Portugal authentique. Avons appréciés les marchés locaux et les fêtes de village typiques au mois d'août.

Gîte conforme aux descriptions et photos. Très bel espace de vie, grandes chambres, très bien équipé. Un jardin très agréable avec beaucoup d'arbres fruitiers à notre disposition, soleil, ombre, petit bassin très apprécié pour se rafraîchir agrémenté par une belle terrasse pour l'apéritif. Le gîte est situé dans un village typique proche des sites importants à visiter. Nous garderons un très bon souvenir du Portugal, et nous y reviendons avec grand plaisir. Les Portuguais sont très accueillants. Merci à Maria pour son guide des sites incontournables. Vous pouvez réservé la location, vous ne serez pas déçu. Nous vous le recommandons sans souci.

Très belle maison en plein cœur d'un village, idéale pour visiter une magnifique région. La maison est parfaitement équipée et le jardin permet de profiter d'une douce fraîcheur. L'accueil fut chaleureux : il n'y a rien à redire. Merci pour tout !

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Lerryn! Probably the best vacation house we ever rented. This recently renovated house is just gorgious. Both modern and full of character, it has all equipments you may need and the barbecue/outside dining area and pool deck are just perfect to chill out and have a great time with friends and family. The natural surroundings are simply amazing: pines and eucalyptus forests (what a lovely smell!), meadows, olive trees... The luxury of enjoying uncomparable confort while feeling in the middle of nowhere. And yet it only takes 5 minutes drive to get to the lovely village of Serta, where you will find supermarkets and both excellent and cheap restaurants. Last but not least, the hosts: Lerryn and Mark trully are great persons. Both available and discreet, they have done their utmost to make us feel at home and gave us a wealth of useful information to discover the region. Their kindness and hospitality have made our stay even more memorable. We will definitely return to Casa Lerryn in the near future to further visit Central Portugal, a region really worth discovering throughout all seasons with its sunny weather, mountains, forests, rivers, fluvial beaches and hiking tracks.

This is a fantastic place to stay, so relaxing and peaceful yet within reach of amenities such as restaurants and a large supermarket. The house was gorgeous and the pool a real winner for our family. Lerryn and Mark are lovely hosts and I wouldn't hesitate to book with them again in the future.

The house is brandnew and decorated with care. The livingroom is somewhat small, however, the space outside is wide and that's were you stay in this summer. A large lawn and an beautiful pool with all the facilities you need. Lerryn and Mark are very helpfull and hospitable!

Unbelievable place to stay would highly recommend it to anyone.Lerryn and Mark were the best hosts ever and couldn't help enough.Sertã is beautiful. Will definitely book again

Amazing experience! The house is charming and comfortable, Sertã is a lovely area with plenty to do and see, and most importantly, Lerryn and Mark are fantastic people who truly do everything to make you feel welcome. Lerryn stocked the house with all the essentials, so we didn't need to go shopping right away, which we greatly appreciated. The house surroundings are gorgeous and quiet, not to mention the amazing pool deck, inviting you to just relax and unwind with a glass of wine. There is an incredible amount of things to do and see within 30 minutes or less of the house, and Lerryn and Mark were amazing hosts providing us with plenty of good tips and suggestions - the five days we spent definitely weren't enough! We can't recommend Lerryn's and Mark's property enough - we had a fantastic time and will be back for sure!

Estivemos na casa durante 3 dias. Apesar de durante o dia a temperatura ser bem agradável à noite a temperatura descia muito, e ai a lareira fazia toda a diferença. Aproveitamos para passar muitas horas a jogar monopólio e aproveitar a lareira. Apesar do frio aproveitamos para fazer um churrasco. Só tivemos pena de não ter usufruído da piscina. Gostamos muito da experiência (connosco estava uma criança que também adorou a casa) .

Casal muito simpático, local muito agradável. Recomendo a todos.

A casa Lerryn ofereceu-nos todas as comodidades descritas no anúncio. O espaço é muito agradável, limpo e calmo. Viajámos em grupo e permitiu-nos relaxar e usufruir de todos os espaços, mas essencialmente da piscina e do churrasco. A Lerryn e o Mark são muitos simpáticos, sempre disponíveis a ajudar, acolhendo-nos bem desde o primeiro ao último dia. Recomendamos e esperamos poder voltar.

The house is simply beautiful. The rooms were spacious with comfy bedding. Our host was just too generous. A gem of a person. Thank you for the Portugese Hospitality! Simply loved it!

La Localisation et très bonne pour visiter Fatima Coimbra Tomar, logement agréable avec grand jardin et reposant++++

El sitio genial para descansar cerca de praias y praias fluviales, el lago. Un lugar genial para familias parejas , Experiencia fabulosa mis perritas y nosotros disfrutamos del sitio como si fuera nuestra casa

A casa da senhora Fernanda é uma pérola no meio duma zona rural muito tranquila. A senhora nos acolheu com o maior carinho, foi a melhor estadia da nossa viagem!

Más que excelente, la señora Fernanda es una persona encantadora, nos hizo sentir como en casa; su alojamiento está un poco retirado, pero es ideal si lo que quieres es descansar. La casa estaba impecable, y en la noche nos presentó a su familia y nos invitó té con galletas. La casa es muy grande, y tiene un parking bastante amplio, en la mañana nos mostró su huerto y nos regaló las mejores naranjas que he probado en mi vida; tiene 2 perritos y una gata, pero ellos no están dentro de la casa, son muy tiernos si te gustan los animales como a mi, pero no te molestan para nada si no quieres jugar con ellos. Lo repetiría mil veces.

a casa da Lídia, oferece muito mais do que se está á espera , tem 2 quartos em baixo, o quarto de casal tem uma cama com colchão muito confortável, cozinha muito grande, todos electrodomésticos funcionam impecável, fogão esquentador, microondas, maquina café , maquinas de loiça e roupa, 2 TVs planas , com TDT, isolamento térmico excelente, mesmo com 32 graus na rua , nunca esteve mais de 21 graus dentro de casa , tem 2 casa de banho bem organizadas tudo funcional, boa pressão de agua, isolamento acústico entre quartos e mesmo vidro duplos e redes anti mosquitos. no sótão tem vários sofás e mais 2 camas e bastante espaço de lazer , ate com sistema som , e também um isolamento térmico mesmo muito bom , coisa que ser muito difícil conseguir em sótãos , a zona é super calma, dentro duma aldeia mesmo silenciosa ,com pássaros ,natureza á volta. foi possível ate arrumar o carro mesmo junto á casa, que me deu, imenso jeito, a Dona Lídia, foi sempre muito atenciosa sempre preocupada se estava tudo bem com a casa e se me faltava alguma coisa, apesar de nao poder estar presente , ela tem sempre um familiar que dá todo o apoio necessário e mora mesmo numa casa ao lado, apesar de eu estar sozinho passei uma semana mesmo melhor do que se fosse minha casa , as luzes da cozinha muito agradáveis e bastante luminosidade que permitiam de noite parecer que estava de dia, gostei imenso , espero poder voltar em breve, obrigado

A comfortable and typical countryside Portuguese house in a nice and quiet location near Ourem, Fatima and Tomar for a nice sightseeing journey around the area. André is a kind and helpful host. Very recommended.

La casa estaba muy limpia, ordenada y con buen olor. Completa disponibilidad ante cualquier duda. Estancia muy recomendada.

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

Sofia and her family were very nice with us, they welcomed us very warmly and were very accommodating. The house is great and clean, good location to go visit Tomar. Thank you again Sofia and Nelson for the dinner, it was very good :).

Sofia and her husband were so nice and attentive to us, we've felt very welcomed! The place is very nice, clean and cozy, has everything one may need. Car can be parked near the house, perfect location if you'd like to visit Tomar, Coimbra or beautiful lake nearby. Trully enjoyed the fireplace and house itself. Thank you very much, guys, for that experience!

Chez Sofia l'accueil est parfait. Le logement confortable et très propre.

I liked the house very much, the location, the landscape, very comfortable, modern house, very good thermal and acoustic insulation, very functional kitchen, big tv, comfortable sofas, it was a very good week,Anita is very friendly, and lives in the house next door, and is always available.

Si vous cherchez la tranquillité, c'est l'endroit idéal. Logement propre et accueil au top.

Cosy cave in tiny house in friendly village in beautiful valley in heart of Portugal! <3

Recomendo a todos lugar lindo pessoas simpáticas

We were greeted on arrival and departure and made to feel extremely welcome. The villa is located in rural Portugal, and perfect if you are looking for a real break away from busy life. The house is absolutely gorgeous, crafted and decorated with love rather than building something cheap to get tourists in, it's a really nice home!

We were two families who spent two weeks in this house July 2017. We loved the house, it's absolutely fantastic! It had all we needed for a super holiday i Portugal. The surroundings are quite. The hoste and his people were very helpful. We definitly recommend this house.

We had a fantastic stay at Synco's beautiful farm house! Bathed in the pool every day, barbecued and had dinner on the terrace each evening, and played petanque at the petanque court at every sundown while sipping delicious Portugeese rosé. The house was spacious and even though we were three generations together it did not feel cramped. The rooms are beautiful and very tasteful decorated. Synco (and Ernst) was very helpful. We will definitely come back if ever in the area again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Anna. The villa met our expecations in every aspect; it was spacious for four couples, nicely decorated and the pool area was great during hot summer days. We spent our evenings barbequing and enjoying local wines. We highly recommend this place for everyone.

Very spacious house with all the convenience, adapted for 12 people (7 adults and 5 children). The big garden and the swimming pool are just fantastic. There are games for children and for adults (ping pong table, bowling (pétanque), board games...) We spent really good times. I strongly recommend it for perfect holidays! Merci !!

Super séjour à Casa Anna ! Logement parfaitement adapté pour les groupes, les chambres sont belles et spacieuses, les salles de bain superbes et la cuisine fonctionnelle et bien équipée. L'accueil de Miranda est chaleureux et efficace, le petit panier avec les produits made in Casa Anna top ! Les équipements extérieurs sont adaptés, la piscine bien agréable et la piste de pétanque a fait la joie des amateurs. Bref, à recommander sans modération.

Wat een fantastisch huis! Hartelijke ontvangst door Andy en Ann die overigens altijd voor je klaar staan. We hebben met z'n tienen genoten van de luxe, rust en ruimte. Heerlijk ontbijten onder de olijfbomen na eerst een ochtendduik te hebben genomen. Lang genieten van de avondzon aan het zwembad . Het huis is van alle gemakken voorzien en de inventaris meer dan compleet! Mooie omgeving, leuke dagtrips waarover ook veel informatie te vinden is in de informatiemap. Dankjewel Synco, we komen graag weer een keer terug!

Superb place to stay if walking the Caminho Portuguese. Wonderful sellos prepared by Carlos.
