Serene and Beautiful
Lovely rural 2 story cottage...Hazel had to "fetch" us because the beautiful place is hard to find. Do not attempt to arrive after dark. We used as a base to explore northern Portugal. A lime tree grows outside your kitchen window! We didn't use the pool but sat there for the fantastic sunsets. Beautiful experience.

Outstanding
Everything at this place is outstanding! Yes we had wonderful weather which helps but there is nothing to improve this place other than a free week every time you book Only 2 hours from Porto but so quiet and beautiful! Lots of fruit trees outdoor kitchen and the design enables you to keep the bedroom really cool! Simply amazing!

Cosy, well appointed property in great location
We spent 10 days in Bela Vista. The area is beautiful and perfect for those who enjoy being outdoors in the country. We intended to do lots of walking over the many trails in the immediate area but found it too hot (the temperature was around 30 degrees for the 10 days we were here in late September), so we explored neighbouring villages in the morning and relaxed by (and in) the pool in the afternoons - bliss! The view from the property is wonderful and we never tired of it. Coimbra is well worth a visit (one hour’s drive away).

Beautiful location. Great for peace, quiet and walks.
My wife and I had a really relaxing time. Hazel was very helpful and accommodating, with excellent recommendations for things to see and do. The only slight downside is there's nowhere within walking distance to eat or drink in the evening, but Arganil has some nice eateries (about 15 minute drive away).

a wonderful cottage if you want scenery, solitude if you want, and a very relaxing holiday
The cottage offered everything we wished for on holiday, Magnificent scenery from the cottage, walking on the doorstep, we had planned so much for our first visit to the area, but mostly we did some wonderful walks from the cottage, come back for lunch by the pool and then relax in the afternoon, before going out to one of the many restaurants within the area. Hazel had provided everything in the cottage that you will require for a self catering break, and is available if you ever need it. A wonderful holiday had by both of us and certainly one to consider again

Nice view, needs new furniture
We loved the view, and the house has it’s charms.
Sadly the bed and sofa bed are old, very small and very uncomfortable. We were unable to sleep at all, and decided to book another place to enjoy the rest of our holiday.

Lovely Typical "Xisto" House - For Nature Lovers
The views are indeed magnificent. The house is well appointed, as the description. Great internet, and lolvely furnace. The road that accesses the Village "Alqueve" is not in the best condition, but perfectly doable, you can't have the views if you don't climb! Lovely spots to visit nearby.
For those with animals, there are nice trails closeby to walk the dogs. Not being an issue for us, the garden is not completely closed off, so you must control your animals when outside.
Host very courteous, nice and available.
A Quiet peaceful place to relax and unwind for those who love nature.

Ein tolles Haus mit allem, was das Herz begehrt in großartiger Landschaft und Ruhe.
Auch der Außenbereich inkl. Pool super (Man hört höchstens die Pool-Pumpe, wenn man etwas zu meckern haben möchte).

Das Objekt hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Es ist perfekt zum Entspannen, dient aber auch gleichzeitig als Ausgangspunkt für Erkundungen der näheren Umgebung bis hin nach Coimbra. Die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich! Das Haus ist ideal für zwei Personen.

Fantastisk sted for den som ønsker stillhet og ro i naturskjønne omgivelser
Veldig hyggelig lite skiferhus med alle fasiliteter. Flott vertskap som gjør det de kan for å legge forholdene til rette (vi fikk oppleve en tropisk storm første natta som bidro til en del opprydding dagen etter...., det ble raskt ordnet av vertskapet).
Området inviterer til flotte gåturer med nydelig utsikt til fin natur og landsbyer. Og vent til du ser solnedgangen! Anbefales!!

Vue magnifique et repos total
Nous avons passé une semaine très agréable dans ce petit village typique du Portugal. La maison dotée d'une piscine privée sans vis-à-vis nous régale aussi d'une vue magnifique donnant sur la montagne. C'est un endroit très calme où il fait bon se reposer. Les amateurs de randonnées y trouveront le plaisir de découvrir la nature entourant la maison. Il est vrai qu'il faut aimer l'isolement pour y séjourner, car dans ce petit village si charmant, il n'y a aucune activité ni aucune épicerie ; c'est donc a Arganil qu'il faut se rendre, attention seulement 6km mais environ 16 à 20mn en voiture.
La maison est propre et bien équipée, il n'y manque pas grand chose. Les photos du site correspondent bien au descriptif et à la réalité.
Les propriétaires sont autant discrets que sympa.
C'est un endroit vraiment charmant, à conseiller pour couple (pas facile avec enfant en bas âge).
Nous venons de rentrer et avons déjà hâte d'y retourner !
