THE OLD HOUSE - Rural Tourism Space

More than a rural tourism space, the OLD HOUSE is an experience! For those who visit, for those who stay and those who live here. We aim to share with our guests a rural and natural lifestyle but at the same time, comfortable, functional, and, above all, genuinely Portuguese! THE OLD HOUSE is the original building which was built on a century-old agricultural property. Which travelled a winding path, rich in love stories and heartbreak, lives soaked by the harsh sweat of working in the fields and the sounds of joy from raising children. It is regionally typical shale stone walls tell us the incredible stories of the successive owners, and here we want you to create yours too! Behind the stone walls lies the original house, which has been renovated and equipped to offer maximum comfort to your stay. It consists of 3 bedrooms (2 double and 1 twin), 2 bathrooms, living room and kitchen, which extends to an outdoor barbecue area, where you will undoubtedly create fantastic memories to retell later. There is also Private parking available. At OLD HOUSE you will not feel like a visitor you will feel at home! Living the farm will be a dynamic experience, as engaging and participatory as you wish. Do not be surprised if in the morning you see the bag of fresh bread hanging on the door if you are invited to pick your eggs for breakfast from the coop or pick vegetables from the garden for fresh salads or hot soups. Seasonally, you can participate in activities such as shearing, olive harvesting in a traditional olive grove of the always lively grape harvest. The OLD HOUSE is only 4 km from the village of Cernache do Bonjardim (birthplace of D. Nuno Álvares Pereira) and 14 km from the seat of the county Sertã. In addition to the hiking trails that the surrounding traditional forest provides, you can enjoy short distances (from 8km) to various river beaches, and aquatic sports in the Castelo do Bode reservoirs, such as Trizio, Fernandaires, Fragas de São Simão and Penedo Furado ( where you will also find walkways and waterfalls), all these provide a natural escape to the typical hustle and bustle of everyday routine. On specific days of the week, if you wish to join the locals, you can visit several local markets (fruit, vegetables, fresh fish, livestock, cheese, etc.). From the OLD HOUSE, you can also discover the region and its heritage, such as the Shale Villages Route, the geodesic centre of Portugal and the cities of Tomar and Coimbra.
