Benfeita:The yellow house with a view.

Open plan studio apartment with light on 3 sides, great views , high in the mountains so cool nights even in summer. Simple decor. The kitchen has everything you need. Large walk in shower. Open plan living. But families with young children need to be aware of the unprotected balcony in the studio apartment and small set of internal stairs do not have a handrail. Laundry : washing machine and dryer in separate room. If I'm there in the summer I can help with recommendations where to go and what to see. On the edge of the national park , great hiking country and unspoilt villages with swimming spots. Buses once a day to arganil and coimbra. Baker delivers fresh bread to the village at 9.30 . There's a shop for fruit veg and essentials. There's a small art gallery museum and artisan shop. It's best to hire a car to get around. There's parking near the house at the top of the hill. Cobbled alleys in the village so virtually traffic free, it's safe for children . Short walk to pool and cafe.
