Self catering Quinta do Pinheiro for 4 people

The Quinta do Pinheiro is the ideal rural accommodation for anyone looking for quietness and direct contact with the Environment, without having to forfeit the comfort of a top class establishment. The charming 19th century Neomanuelino-style Quinta is located in a most beautiful setting on its own 14-hectare estate. The house was built from outstanding quarried stone and is also of an undeniable architectural value, plus a peculiar history due to the well-known figures who have passed through there. The surroundings are an authentic paradise for nature lovers. The estate has its own forest with centenary species, 17 fountains with crystal-clear water, many varieties of fruit-bearing trees as well as its own vineyard and olive grove. The microclimate is pleasant and both winter and summer are moderate. The region offers a wide range of options for those who enjoy outdoor activities. These include bathing off the fluvial beaches of the Mondego Valley and skiing at the Serra da Estrela ski resort. You can also go hiking in the surrounding areas and other alternatives include 4x4 routes and mountain bike tracks. It is well communicated and near important cities such as Viseu, Salamanca, Aveiro or Oporto, and less than 100 km away from the sea. You will find Quinta do Pinheiro to be an ideal place for that getaway to nature that you long for.
